(0’ – 30’) Liverpool recovers low / Roma settles in opposite side
Against Roma’s 3412, Liverpool settled up defensively as usual:
- Firmino would be central, cutting relation with defensive midfield
- Salah and Mané would have to cut the relation between CBs and Wing backs
- CMs Milner and Oxlade-Chamberlain were ready to press De Rossi and Strootman on the pass time
- The backline was low and cautious against Dzeko aerial play
