Atalanta (A) CL Post-Match Thread

[James McJohn]

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...................

100% love that on Sunday

Cant see that working. I dont think you can get away with on CB (One attacks the ball the other drops rule) and ultimately, that would result 4 at the back with either Fern or Walker driven to CB, with cancelo at Right back.

I think a back 4 of walker, Stones, Oti and mendy, with Fern in front would be the way to go personally. Don't think it matters who is at CB without some protection they are fucked.

Cut out the fucking scaremonging

Can you stop picking on me Karen?

if you have the game recorded.. check out the last 10 minutes of the first half.. I thought he looked injured.. i don’t have it recorded to check.

I agree but think it's a bit late to start partnering otamendi and stones now, so can't see it

Yeah I don’t think Guardiola will do it. I just think if he doesn’t, it will be a mistake.

It’s shocking by the ref not to give the red after the Sterling one was changed to a free kick - he was probably thanking his lucky stars our players weren’t around him hounding him for it.

 

[ColinBellsjockstrap]

One of the most unprofessional, ill disciplined performances I have ever seen.
Bravo should never play for us again.

 

[Rammy Blue]

Just enjoy the ride blues, it’s not a bad place to be!

we will all forget tonight come the morning and liverpool up next ??

lets just put it down to one of them games and a game of 2 half's, first half should have won the game and sloppy pen miss by Jesus, 2nd half should/could have lost the game because to many over thinking it and maybe having liverpool on there minds, maybe losing ederson and bravo getting sent off was just what the watching liverpool will love to see

but in pep we trust and he will have something up his sleeves for the liverpool game and lets all hope liverpool lapped it up tonight and think they have nothing to fear

Silly cow on bt just said Liverpool will have nothing to fear on Sunday fair play to Micah for saying never right off this city side

Our players are so weak on the ball you can knock them off it with a feather. Only Aguero knows how to use his body to keep possession.

Noticed Rodri’s good at this too, doesn’t seem to lose it with up to 2/3 players trying to bully him off it

agree but that back four especially Mendy is a liability

Opposition coaches just need to put two on gundog and that's it.

KDB and Bernardo become passengers.

Ends up with Cancelo/Mendy/Ota/ Fernandhino pinging balls at high pace

into feet of Sterling/Mahrez/Jesus with backs to goal, bypassing midfield.

Then we lose possession, control & rhythm, we become disjointed & sloppy.

Every time, well before the goal when gundog received the ball in centre of our

half I'm screaming at Ota & Fern to get more central as just expecting gundog

to lose possession. Only Walker had a good 2nd half. Shocking from the others.

Is this meant to be slam poetry?
