Horrendous
Fucking onside because our defensive line is fucking shit.
Totally wrong analysis of the game
Defo. Can’t happen soon enough
Well that puts to bed the notion we have the best bsck 5 around.
Sliced open yet again 🙁

Would actually take off Matip, who I blame for being comically out of position for the second goal, and who doesn't seem to be as assured as usual
A few thoughts so far as the 1st half ends.
Against a high energy, pressing team - I'm not sure a Hendo-Milner midfield works. I'm not 100% sure Hendo is the same player he was last year - he seems physically not as imposing as he was.
The inability of refs to give fouls when Mane is fouled is MIND BOGGLING.
You're up 2-0, and you play such a high line? I get it but the Griezmann chance should have been a warning ...
Athletico are such a gifted team - I wonder how much better/worse they'd be with a manager like Klopp for example?
Half time changes -
Jota for Bobby
Fabinho for Keita or Milner
Likely half time changes? none.
MotH - Allison.

Either way Bobby needs to come off because he's doing nothing.
I’ll swap hendo out for fab. He’s meant to be a shield for the back 4.
Yes - after one bad game, that definitely defines a team or player.
You're not from the microwave generation dude - such nonsense
Fabs on for Milner second half... Keitaa has not been Brill' but he has offered more than Milner how is not far offer a booking imo
Wow, that was quite a half for the neutrals. Great start by us, but then Altetico showed their teeth and most of all, their quality. Lemar, Griezmann and Joao Felix all looking red-hot, so creative and unpredictable that they clearly got us rattled. I don't think we've quite come up against this kind of attacking quality this season, maybe we did against City, but theirs was more concentrated in midfield – here Atletico attack in small numbers, but every pass and movement is so precise that they don't need many players to hurt you.
We need to take our breath and regroup. Of course, Fabinho needs to come on for Keita in the 46th minute. We have to match the atmosphere and the bravery of the Madrid players to get a positive result here, this 2nd half will tell us a lot about who's who in this team.

Wait which is the microwave generation? Like when it came out in the 60s?
Could argue from his posts you're referring to people who might have microwaved their head a couple times as well
Agree with most of this excpet Fab for Keita
Its frustrating because if Matip was the keeper it would have been given as it was in the keepers eyeline, yet in this situation Matip was the only one who could save the ball, but it's not given cos he's not the keeper, kinda ironic.
Ha - nah, it's a term I like for folk who think results come immediately ... 'put it in the micro, zap it and after 30 seconds, it's ready' ...
Done believe Jota will fair any better than Frimno. Problem attack wise is neither Robbo or Trent not delivering balls in from the wide areas
