Atalanta v Liverpool - Match Thread - CHAMPIONS LEAGUE

[Dreambeliever]

Oh JOTA A NIGHT!

 

[gkmacca]

I would have liked to see bobby's face when that went in

He's probably got hiccups.

 

[Shadey]

Who is this guy

Jota.

 

[Squiggles]

Turns out having 3 attackers capable of scoring goals means you score more goals. Jota has been phenomenal from day one.

I saw Klopp’s face. A mix of happiness and disbelief.

 

[Pesam]

Bobby will have some fight on his hands to get back in the team now. Jota is unplayable.

Hopefully Firmino will rise to the challenge and find his form and we will have 4 genuine top quality forwards to choose from.

 

[Hansern]

Jota is a fucking baller! What a signing!

Its Mane - Jota - Salah going forward.

 

[LeTallecWiz]

I came to say exactly the same thing.

What a goal!

me too

 

[Woland]

Prediction came in early

 

[rurikbird]

Have to say Gini is playing really well too. Dominant player in midfield.

Yup, playing really intelligently in possession.

 

[gkmacca]

If we're doing what we did in previous CL games, we'll be taking off the strikers on the hour, so that's our challenge - to keep the initiative when that happens.

 

[Shadey]

HT 10/10

 

[SummerOnions]

We've been the better team, but it's worth remembering Atalanta came back from 2-0 down last week when Ajax dropped their level. I think we need another in the second half to be sure of the win especially if we do those early subs again

 

[MomoWASright]

MidgetLand get one back against Ajax. 1-2.

 

[gkmacca]

That second goal of Jota's, blimey, it scared me and he's on my team! It was like some Hollywood cyborg shot.

Er yes. We need a Jota hattrick.

 

[Shay_K]

There's a few contenders for Jota of the match award then.

 

[IGotALuvlyBunchOfCoconuts]

Jota is my new favourite player.

 

[Woland]

Two months ago I was crying my arse off on here that we needed to push on and improve the squad now that we were league champions not realising that we'd just bought the next Balloon Doors winner.

 

[Donavan Ried]

Jota is sometimes a bit wasteful with his passes, but can't fualt him on his goal scoring 🙂 Get in Son,get In

That was Ajax... We are Liverpool

 

[Gerry_A_Trick]

That was a great ball by Gomez for the second too.

 

[bluebell]

1-0

2-0

 

[Hansern]

Williams has been very good aswell, keeping it easy.

 

[keniget]

That second goal of Jota's, blimey, it scared me and he's on my team! It was like some Hollywood cyborg shot.

And he doesn't even seem to bother celebrating.

 

[Woland]

Can't believe we just bought one of the best players of all time and Thiago

 

[FreshRed]

Have noticed that Salah is unselfishly playing the Firmino role quite a lot - back to goal, or dropping deep, and trying to play others through. His dropping deep is what is creating much of the space for Jota.

But, as said before, when all three are a real goal threat, it is easier for all of them to find the right space.

COME ON YOU RED MEN
