3 things AS Roma got wrong in 5-2 defeat to Liverpool

#1 Roma defence in shambles as the Fab three run riot

Liverpool are a joy to watch when they are in the mood

Once again, it was Salah, Mane and Firmino who got the goals as the Reds run riot for the majority of the game and tore the Roma defence to shreds.

This is the first time in the Champions League that a team has had three players score more than eight goals in a single campaign.

That is absolutely incredible. That Salah, Firmino and Mane form the best-attacking trio in Europe is clear to everyone now.

And AS Roma had absolutely no idea how to deal with them. Choosing to go with a 3-4-2-1, once the initial high press inevitably lost its steam, Salah and Mane started attacking the channels after effectively bouncing off of Firmino.

Mane could even afford to squander two sitters and yet come away from the night with a smile on his face.

Salah proved that he is on an entirely different level right now and even the Romans will be surprised to see how far their former player has come in the span of a year.

Firmino was once again all industry and ever since Liverpool shifted gears, Roma just couldn't keep up no matter how hard they tried.

They were uncharacteristically poor in defending set pieces too as Dejan Lovren was twice left unmarked in the box with his first effort being cruelly denied by the crossbar.
