Atalanta (A) CL Post-Match Thread

[HorlocksWalk]

Probably been mentioned on the thread before but why was Bravos a Sending off and the Pen then free kick tackle on Raz not? Neither were leg breakers but both denied a goal scoring opportunity?

 

[homerdog]

Which one is it. Bravo never touched him or his trailing leg hit is head? If he touched him and it's a foul (which it was) then it's a red. Bravo is a liability.

Haven't you seen the replay, it couldn't be more obvious that it was a dive?

PEP (On Ederson) It’s a muscular problem. It was a risk so we took him off as he was feeling it late in the first half. We don’t know.

 

[Franknorgrovesnephew]

He would be fine with Laporte’s leadership beside him but Otamendi is just not up to the job.
I am hoping Stones can come back to his best soon.
I think we will have to be in for a top CD in January

Otto played OK it was ferny who was the problem

 

[kaz7]

his distribution was poor and he NEVER has poor distribution.. I have a feeling he’s pulled his groin... I fucking hope not.

Cut out the fucking scaremonging

I will say my honest opinion now. Don’t get beat Sunday and we will be celebrating a league and champions league double in may. Just hang in there until January.

With 2 left backs and 2 right backs fit at the moment, and all playing well, I wouldn’t have an issue with Pep giving it a whirl.

could go:

........................Eddie........................
..........Kyle........Stones.......Mendy.........
...Cancelo..............................Angelino..
..............Kev......Dinho.....Bernie...........
..................Sergio......Raz...................

It's the right formation but I would have Dinho at CB, Mendy LWB and Tommy D as DM.

Pep needs to roll the dice on this one as if we play our usual tactics at Klanfield we will come away with the usual result.

 

[HorlocksWalk]

Can I just say in mitigation for the team.
My lucky undies were in the wash tonight. I know bad planning on my part,but they will be ready for Sunday.

No forgiveness from me. You have a good few weeks at the end of the season to wash them

The bravo one, I think was one of those that when it’s your keeper, you think it’s harsh and the striker sold it. If it was sterling or Aguero in the position of their striker though, I’d have been calling for a red card.

Looked to me like the foot was taken off the gas in the second half with an eye on Sunday and that coupled with Atalanta stepping it up a bit. First half we looked good though and had Jesus scored, it would have been qualification done.

I do think we need Fernandinho in midfield on Sunday though.
