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

#2 Away woes remain unaddressed as Roma lose everywhere on the pitch

Salah was simply unstoppable

Once Salah got the first goal and Lovren struck the crossbar subsequently, you could see the Roma side coming off at the seams.

Suddenly, the surefooted defenders were backpedalling, the midfielders were all over the place and the strikers criminally bereft of any service at all.

The only way this night could have gone positively for Roma was if they could get an early goal and take the lead because as it has become increasingly clear over the course of this season that AS Roma were pretty poor away from home.

If you add a deficit to adversity, expect Roma to leak like weakly assembled cement sheets in a thunderstorm.

To put things into perspective, Roma have won only once in their last 14 trips in the Champions League. This leaves them having one more miracle to pull off.

The two quick goals at the death will certainly help but it will be quite a task keeping this Liverpool side from scoring and if they are to defend like they did tonight, eliminating Barcelona will end up being the highlight of their season.
