I certainly think there's another twist or two ahead. Will be interesting to see the Madrid Bayern match.

Apparently if they don't get to the final then they haven't bottled it. I really need to work out how this bottling thing works out.

All we need now is Kane to win the golden boot, Liverpool to lose to Roma 3-0 away and Chelsea to pip them to 4th.

Liverpool are in the final since the draw.
There's too much difference between the teams. Roma have absolutely nothing.
Some of you are in denial. They are a very good team and Roma are no better than Arsenal imo
In the final it will be different because the other 2 teams have experience.

Liverpool are a joy to watch with their high octane speed of thought and movement football they simply overwhelm the opposition with goals, I really think they are on for their sixth CL title no one will fancy playing them the form their in might be worth a flutter on them for the EPL title next year.

@shelfboy68 is right though. They have improved and are a long way ahead of spurs in terms of attacking ability speed of thought and perhaps most importantly, mentality. Salah is exceptional and the players around him aren't too shabby either. I hate it but it's there to see.

Liverpool looked immense yesterday. Roma were no match for them. Looking at how high Roma were pushing and with the likes of Fazio up against Mané and Salah it was a walk in the park.

I hate to say it but Liverpool at the moment look world class. The pace, the trickery, the mentality. We are one of the few teams that have been able to nullify them.

Liverpool hasn't played like this all season though. They have obviously hit their form at exactly the right moment (...in the CL at least). They will play the CL final and regardless whom they play they have a chance. One very important aspect though is that Liverpool won't play the final at Anfield; I'm certain Bayern or Real, with their experience, will cope with that better.

I'm very disappointed with Roma though. Awful tactics and they looked completely taken by the moment for 75 minutes.

You're not gonna win with social media.
I started following spurs offical on facebook recently for about 2 days, not a fan of facebook. The comments for every post are dreadful. Utter crap from our fans makes up 20%. The other 80% is other fans, and I use the term loosely as most seem to be from Africa etc and their English is almost unfathomable, making childish shitty comments like they get some gratification out of it. Its embarrassing.
If there was a God and he looked at it he'd probably think 'they're beyond help' and smite the lot of us. I would. And imo we are.

Whilst I get the essence of what you are saying, perhaps the Arsenal comparison is a bit of a stretch, there is no way on earth Arsenal would have turned over Barcelona in a Champions League Quarter final after going 4-1 down in the first leg....

Exactly, if Fazio was still with us and we'd played him against their electrifying pace and attack and lost 5-2 this website would have been crucifying Poch, whilst he has been effective for Roma by all accounts, any fool should have realised that tactically this would have been a game for him to avoid, instead of hanging him out to dry, crass stupidity by the coaching staff at Roma.

Very glad I was out and missed that game last night. I can't help being envious of them.

Don't think anyone should cling to the hope those 2 Roma goals will make a difference. Liverpool will score in Italy, of that I have no doubt.

Fair play to Liverpool, we might not like it but I think it's fair to hold your hands up and say they're a seriously good side

The major difference is that they bought a good player in the summer, and over the course of the season he's turned into arguably the form player in World football. That's make a hell of a difference to any side, but with Firmino massively improving as well, they just insane going forward.

Yeah, Roma played into their hands, but this is a side that beat Man City twice over two legs.

Klopp is an incredible manager
