Is it bad that I have already made sure I have quick, simple patients to see from 245 on today?

The "Boston Derby" in Livepool and Rome gets us started....

Allez, Allez, Allez

Yeah the worms are fully in the stomach at this point.

Our GM is a Roma supporter so we're setting up a stream, which is nice

well played so far - should have had a runner to the back post for Firmino's square ball (or possible shot) - but good play all around so far

It may be a solid 30 minutes before I can exhale again. Send help.

OX likely done for the CL, Liverpool looks tentative...I actually think that's ok if they can keep clean and it means Roma gets a bit more aggressive. There will be plenty of counter opportunities

I´m working on the desk here, so I missed the scene...what happened to Oxlade? Just saw him carried away... Broken leg?

I’m neutral here, but how can you not like Mo Salah.

One of my Egyptian friends told me the other day that he got 1.5 million write-in votes in the Egyptian presidential election.

As beautiful as that was, Roma´s defending was just bad in that scene. Way too passive and too much space for Salah in the box.

Nainggolan has some absolutely beautiful touches in midfield

Let’s hope Sisi doesn’t see that as a threat.

California. Duh.
It's been a great adjustment by Liverpool. Roma was clogging up the midfield early, so the Reds started bypassing them with the long ball, now Roma seems confused about whether to press or drop back.

Someone needs to give Mane a little pep talk. He's, um, not playing terribly well.

Yeah, I thought that too. The whole time I was waiting for them to close him down. But it never happened.

Wow. Liverpool dismantling Roma. Roma has no one attacking with Dzeko and Liverpool are shutting down all passing lanes. Very impressive. Hard to watch this and not think what Barca-Liverpool could've been.
