Atalanta (A) CL Post-Match Thread

We definitely dipped a lot after ht, but when we went down to 10 men we showed bottle, organisation and quality in keeping the ball under pressure.

Its being missed by a lot of people sadly, the team protected Kyle in goal, and we spent most of the added on time by their corner flag, last time we did that was OT and it we all took the piss out of united.

So to summarize the current situation with a few bullet points...

- Bernardo not been the same since Cartoongate.
- KDB, the catalyst for our attack, not been the same since his injury.
- Half the team housed at the 4077th MASH unit.
- We’ve already lost to the 12th and 19th place teams.
- VAR

...and we play at Liverpool on Sunday.

Yep, guaranteed 3 points.

Would agree with most of that except Bernardo was ok in the last quarter of that game . He was key to keeping the ball in the right hand corner for a good 3-4 minutes and was dangerously bundled over wheelbarrow style,protested and got a yellow card for it ! He plays Sunday and he will be such a pest running at them and chasing them all afternoon.
 
I think on reflection that was all part of Pep’s master plan to lull Klopp into a false sense of security.
Bet there’s nothing wrong with Eddy.
Kev and Bernardo were told to walk around.
Stones is actually primed for Sunday.
Jesus missed on purpose.
First half we looked like we’d tear them apart so Mendy Raz and Mahrez were told at halftime to reel it in a bit.

All went to plan. We got a draw and Liverpool will be over confident.

He’s a wily one, is Pep. You wouldn’t be up to him.

Cracking first half, awful second - whether that was down to the keeper change I'm not sure. Cancelo played well which was a positive but this defence is reminiscent of first season Pep - how many times did we get caught with a long ball upfield in that second half? I agree with the comments about Fern - throw Garcia in with Stones and play him holding at the weekend and see how it pans out, it can't really be any worse than what we've been witnessing since Laporte got injured.

Or even Kyle at centre back and cancelo right back, at least then we’ll have pace at centre back for the ball over the top.
 
Have to laugh at the Atalanta protests about the foul on Raheem 'We cheated and fouled Raheem outside the area ref....'
