Pre Match: Atletico Madrid (a) CL - Tuesday 20:00

[Dreambeliever]

Also another game that highlights the importance of Thiago!

 

[moron]

Apart from the first 15 mins, they were the better team, and were carving us up whenever they went forward. Makes me think Chelsea well deserved that CL win last season given how shit they made AM look in their last 16 was it ?

 

[rubans]

Lucky tonight This should have been a draw, Alisson was excellent.

He truely was, I was worried he may never recover after a rocky Jan-March last year but the header against WBA guess somehow energised his confidence.

And Harvey

The fact that we are where we are is amazing. The red cards, pens and moments of genius are what make a season.

We just have to keep beating the dross and hopefully start to pick up our performances against the top sides. Maybe getting Thiago back will help assuming he's still alive.

sorry to tell you mate, Thiago passed away last week.
It was terrible.
Was climbing Everest ... Got near the top, and then tweaked his calf and fell off.

[LeTallecWiz]

Us, City and Chelsea are all flawed in some way currently. Our's got really exposed tonight but we got away with it

I just wonder if a healthy VvD alleviates some of our issues somehow?
We defo need to rebuild this midfield though -

Gomez’s pace makes a difference with a high line too, especially covering TAA when he’s pushed on.

 

[Squiggles]

I enjoyed that so much.

A complete shit house win against the ultimate shit house team, in the cathedral of shit house football in Europe. Beautiful.

We know we need to improve, but it's a perfect game to galvanise us before United.

Imagine the state of BlueMoon right now.

Hahahaha.

 

[tombrown]

Didi letting his hatred of Klopp shine through

 

[ibromurph]

Fuck off Simeone. Fuck off Madrid.

I hate these lot more than I hate Real.

They're cheating, simulating cunts. They crowd the ref after every decision.

Sure, we were lucky to beat them, today. But they were lucky to beat us at Anfield 2 years ago.

Hope we beat them next week and play the kids against Porto and let them through.

 

[Shay_K]

RTE showing a series of dives by ATM players getting TAA and Milner booked Fuck off Simeone.

 

[rubans]

Does anyone really care what Didi thinks anymore, great player but a shithouse pundit. Stick to his betting...

 

[Hansern]

Can always rely on you for these types of post, eh?

Give it a rest man.

Great result, shit performance.. yes.

No need to act the cunt eh?

Not our best performance with several players underperforming, but grinding out a 3-2 win away to the Spanish Champions will never be dogshit in my opinion.
Says something about this team that we can rise to the challenge in the second half and get 3 points.

 

[LeTallecWiz]

Yes - I think Konate is quite fast too.
Problem with JoeGo is he's a fucking poor headerer of the ball.

Hahahaha.

Yeah, agreed.

We need to be able to win against all styles.

This was the ultimate shite house test. They're one of the best to ever do it.

They're used to doing this and stifling Barca/Real/Messi/Ronaldo/some of the greatest teams to ever play.

So it was a big test we passed, albeit with a bit of luck.

 

[Hansern]

Says it all about Simeone when he just runs down the tunnel without thanking Klopp for the game.

 

[binomial]

Peter Walton, take your laws and stick em up your arse you old cunt.

 

[Dreambeliever]

Longest unbeaten run since 1989!

YNWA

 

[Shay_K]

Simeone has not changed since my first viewing of him in the 1998 World Cup, .....more interested in Refs cards than goals or style of play.

 

[Hansern]

Just to highlight the fantastic achievement by this team tonight.
Atletico unbeaten at home in European football for the last 4 years. 1 loss in 40 games.
Scoring 3 goals and getting 3 points. Massive result and very impressive.

 

[Dreambeliever]

Yes - I think Konate is quite fast too.

Agreed, Konate might be the answer but ya I think with our high line we sometimes get exposed in behind TAA and Matip can’t cover that space.

 

[mom]

I don’t get the whole “crap performance” lark. This is a top team at home and it’s always going to be very tough there. Great result and well done the boys.

 

[the count]

And Harvey

And Gini

 

[binomial]

Speaking of Gini, not missed his bitch ass 1 bit this season and he’s stinking the place out at Paris

 

[Shadey]

Apparently It was an Amazon delivery of black spray for his balding head.

 

[Beamrider]

Has anyone ever seen Simeone and 80s Tom Jones in the same room? Asking for a friend.

 

[Frogfish]

Peter Walton, take your laws and stick em up your arse you old cunt.

He was clearly getting upset that Lescott & Crouch didn't agree with him.

They hadn't lost at home in the CL for 4 years before tonight. Just to put that into perspective.

 

[binomial]

They lost at home to Chelsea in Feb….of this year.

I might order some for myself.
