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

As a famous ex-City manager once said...

"I would love it, absolutely love it if we go to their place and out shithouse these wankers"

Or words to that effect.

Proof once again that making subs can make a difference and positively impact the game. Despite what some of the experts on here say

Depends on the game, sometimes it also doesn't really work. It's not 100 game changer all the time.

That was a right old game of chess. I thought our plan was great, but our passing and crossing let us down 1st half. Rodri in particular, gave the ball away too many times. The subs worked a treat and now atletico have got to come out of their shell if they want to stay in.

Game was much as expected. On the positive side, we barely gave them a sniff - no shot on target. We controlled the game well but didnt think we moved the ball fast enough to the wings to exploit what space there was there and our crosses were not particular dangerous. What a cameo from Phil and I can’t wait to see him take that forward into Sunday. I like that Grealish winds them up and I can see one or more walking next week. Kev, Phil and Ake were stand outside but nobody had a poor game and our retrieval of the ball was really excellent.
very confident we will have enough to go through next week.

On the evidence of last night, we know who is the best at penetrating a low block defence with his ability to beat a man 1 on 1 between Raz, Mahrez and Phil.
His technique, speed and confidence are amazing.
And that ball with the outside of his foot to Kev……

Who does he think he is? Cancelo?!

Simeone will still play it tight in the 2nd leg and hope to get a breakway goal.
The only time they'll open up a bit will be the last 15-20 minutes if there's still only one goal in it.
We still need to be very patient

That 2nd leg is going to get messy, I've an awful feeling we'll be targeted by proper shithouse Atletico tactics

 

[applecentral]

Read the question carefully dude, I said I wouldn’t risk him on Sunday against probably the best counter attacking team in Europe because he gives the ball away too often.

You haven’t offered an opinion for me to disagree with or even constructively explained your thoughts on why you disagree with me just shouted out a load of expletives

On a scale of 1 - 10 on silly comments this was probably an 11 lol.

Can certainly see us getting someone sent off
