Did Jesus see himself as Messiah of his people from the yoke of the Romans the same way that the Jews expected of a Messiah as a savior from oppressor?

No. He said to Pilate, 'my kingdom is not of this world.' Earlier, when he was arrested, He told Peter to put away His sword.
According to Luke, Jesus see himself as the Messiah that will save his people from the transgressor and he can accomplish this feat with only two swords and help from the Father God.
22:36 Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one. 37 For I say unto you, that this that is written must yet be accomplished in me, And he was reckoned among the transgressors: for the things concerning me have an end. .38 And they said, Lord, behold, here are two swords. And he said unto them, It is enough.

· Believe it or not, the Roman's delay was an advantage! When the Romans didn't come to invade as expected, the Britons thought that it had been cancelled, like the Romans had done a couple of times before. This means that when the Romans did invade after some time, the Britons were not as prepared as they were when they expected the Romans. Hope it helps!!
