AS Roma 4-2 Liverpool (6-7 aggregate): 5 Talking Points

E
Euphoria for Liverpool, heartbreak for Roma

#3 Roma should have shown more urgency in the last quarter of the game

Dze
Dzeko scores Roma's second goal of the night

When the game remained deadlocked after 70 odd minutes had passed, it looked like Roma were sapped off the enthusiasm that was buoying them on to the European dream. Their players looked desolate and nobody seemed to be able to rally them forward.

It was during this period that Roma let go of a couple of chances that should have ended up in the back of the net. Dzeko wasn't at his clinical best today and even Cengiz Under missed a chance that should have been converted.

If they had just pushed themselves forward after equalizing for the second time in the game, they could have got the 3rd goal earlier than the 86th minute and the game could have taken a whole different course.

Liverpool were a bit overwhelmed towards the end and nerves were starting to show. And when the 4th goal went in, you couldn't stop yourself from asking how different it could have been had they just up and went for it earlier.
