Live Match Discussion 2017/18

[Alan]

They're a freaking FIFA team. Stupid pace at just about every position.

 

[Alan]

Live this ref squaring up to Lovren just now. :icon_lol:

 

[White Wolf]

Roma are shit!

 

[big mean bunny]

Florenzi and Dzeko look to me like they would slot straight into our 343 if we stay that way. Get the eCheque-book out?

 

[Alan]

I'll be shocked if Florenzi ever leaves Roma.

 

[Boozad]

Always rated Florenzi but I'd still prefer Odriozola from Sociedad.

 

[Alan]

Liverpool make a couple of mistakes and Dzeko with a good finish to keep this from being completely dead.

 

[MARKakaJIM]

Didn't Florenzi start out as a midfielder?

Garbage defending from Trent there, all started from poor decision making from Firmino.

 

[big mean bunny]

Can't remember. I believe he is one of those types that supported them and has been there since he was about 8 though. Think they mentioned it on the 'On the continent' podcast.

 

[Boozad]

Didn't Florenzi start out as a midfielder?

Attacking midfielder, played mainly through the middle. I remember him playing out wide for Italy at Euro 2016 but I think he played central for them as well at some point.

 

[Alan]

Massive missed handball there.

He's played pretty much every position except CB for Roma at one point or another.

 

[The Bear]

Just noticed in the Highland League tonight. Fort William are playing Keith, and a bloke called Keith has scored two goals for Keith! Insane.

 

[MARKakaJIM]

Firmino has been poor tonight.

 

[Alan]

Nainggolan is absurdly good (bad error earlier notwithstanding). What a strike.

 

[Alan]

For as bad as the missed handball on TAA was, that's just as bad the other way. Where else is Klavan supposed to put his arms?

 

[MARKakaJIM]

Nainggolan is absurdly good (bad error earlier notwithstanding). What a strike.

Is he? Can't say as he's ever really stood out for me, capable of the odd moment of magic just as countless others are but I don't see anything truly exceptional about him.

Think the second legs of both semi finals were ultimately disappointing, high on energy but low on quality.

 

[Dublin Drummer Wolf]

Liverpool weren't great tonight, so many defensive errors, they looked so casual at the back, but thanks to that great performance at Anfield, they are through.

 

[Nando]

They'll get slapped by Real if they play like they did tonight. Roma had enough chances to take that to ET.

 

[Boozad]

Roma could (and probably should) have finished that off in normal time.
