Atletico (H) | CL QF 1st Leg | Post Match Thread

[grim up north]

It's as close as anyone has come to fluking a title. The standard of La Liga last year were a shambles. Think of the top 4 race in England with Arsenal, Tottenham and United all looking like they don't want it, except for a league title instead

Ok

The only downside to next week is playing the dippers 3 days before. Great scheduling from the Prem league that. Shouldn’t they be helping Prem teams in the CL?

Who do L'pool have to play?

Had our fun in the group stages, solid when it matters:

 

[Postman Pep]

Jealous of his hair, even flicked it at one point

Just before the end when a couple of them were trying to get him at it. By that stage he was laughing it off but loved the way Ferna was straight over there after the whistle just in case.

Credit pep for seeing it wasnt working and making a big change. Foden was superb, they just didnt know how to handle him. id play him aginst Robertson on sunday as he’s shit scared of him too.

Foden's display against Robertson in the match after the football resumed was excellent. Robertson didn't know whether to get tight on Foden or leave some space.

Really???

Two minutes added on all game! Just laughable.

Agree Ake had a really strong game.

As long as he's happy filling in as & when needed, he could end up being the perfect player for us. Aké could easily get more game time by dropping down a level. HOWEVER, he'll miss out on special nights like these, & his medal haul will probably be a lot lower.

I'm happy for the lad. He knows he's our 4th choice CB, but if he's happy to play his part when called upon, I'm more than happy to have him around.
