Being a Liverpool supporter I will be focusing on Liverpool(The Reds). To come to the semi-final of the UEFA the Reds beat the newly crowned Premier League champions Manchester city. For Roma they preformed an undoubtedly the best comeback to beat La Liga's champions Barcelona. Both sides had achieved wonderful results and played wonderful football.
In reaching the semi-finals Liverpool scored 33gaols in 10 games with an everage of 3.3 goals per game. It can be said that Liverpool's strength lays in attack . As a Liverpool supporter I fear that Roma's defence might frustrate Liverpool's attack. Then again with the superb form that Mohamed Salah is in ,if he is given half a chance he will score.
The other problem Liverpool faces is they might be found wanting on the counter. If Roma uses Dzeko as the target man and supply diagonals ball in the final third Dzeko will give the Liverpool defenders difficulties. We all know that defense is not one of Liverpool's strengths. However, Liverpool defense has been doing a lot better lately.
Both sides will need to get off with a good start. For Liverpool although they are a attacking side, it will be wise to focus on their defense. If Liverpool can keep a clean sheet and score 2 goals at least they will have a great change to go to the final. If they go to Roma and become complacent, we all know what Roma can achieve beating one of the best sides in the world Barca.
The most important decision would be for the coach Klopp . If he doesn't bring Alexander Arnold and Robertson back from the weekend side that drew 2-2 with West Brom. Its going to be curtains for Liverpool.
I reckon Liverpool has better change of winning the semi-finals if in short Liverpool needs focus on their defense. They need bring back their trusted wing back in Arnold and Robertson . Mohamed Salah need to impress and the entire side must not become complacent in the last 25 minutes of the game.
I wish all the Liverpool players a wonderful enjoyable game. Lets bring the trophy to Anfield.
