Atletico (A) - Post-Match Thread

[Manc in London]

That's him. I remember he lacked pace but was a much better footballer than Savic.

My thoughts too

He was always first there, mainly when it was a youngster being given shit

we will have to agree to differ on this one....everything about Kolorov for me was faux hardman

I don’t think it’s fair to say that the referee lost control of the game, as I don’t believe that he had control of it in the first place.

If he’d sent off - or even booked - Felipe for the attack on Phil in the first half, most, if not all, of the later shenanigans wouldn’t have happened.

Absolutely spot on. The attack on Phil announced to everybody what Atletico's approach was to be and it screamed at the ref that this was his chance to establish his control of the match. He showed quite clearly that he didn't have the guts to stand up the the AM players, their manager or their crowd. He wasn't letting the game flow: he was simply being spineless. And he carried on being spineless until the end.

So right. Clear yellow card for a cardable offence puts down a marker, sets the tone and avoids a lot of aggravation later. He should have had the balls to do it, then Atlético would have known there was no messing with him. After that, they saw him as weak — the rest followed.

Also why City lost their composure a bit. You'd lose your composure if every time you got the ball someone was going to fucking clatter you from behind and the ref wasn't going to do fuck all to stop it.

Apparently UEFA looking to ban some of our players for a brawl outside dressing rooms.

It's Marca, Real Madrids mouth piece. What are they going to ban our players for, having the cheek to get in the way of a kick and a headbutt? Savic might get a ban, atletico will get a token fine for failing to control their players and that's it.

Spanish paper talking up the chances of a ban for some City players for the semi. Wonder why?

Just to keep it out there, STEFAN SAVIC IS AN MCFC REJECT, WEAK AS FUCK WANNABE BULLY.
