this atletico side is not what it used to be. Still a very strong side, but defence nowhere near as strong.

Currently 1-1 at home to Alaves

Suarez just scored, difficult tie, but if we are are as clinical as the Sporting away leg we should be ok.

Atletico is rich, prestigious version of Stoke. We need to play at slow pace as Atletico have good quick counter players.

Frantic game would suit Atletico more.

We need to play at a fast pace and destroy the dirty Spaniard cunts.

Embarrassing over exaggeration from Cunha to win a penalty but he looked farr better than Griezzman after coming on. Hell of an assist to Suarez.

Unfortunately we won’t get the chance they’ll be faking injuries,breaking up play,time wasting and anything to disrupt our rhythm and control of the game ..

Why is Walker still suspended?

Why is Walker still suspended?

It was a three game suspension over his red card vs Leipzig

Today was the first game with Cunha in over a month. Still just getting back from injury

Can only go off their performance against Utd. Thought they were obdurate, defensive, snidey time wasting cunts who are good on the break. Very Wolveslike. If we get a similar result as that I'll be happy. Means away they'll need to come on to us at some stage and we can then pull their pants down.

But enough about utd, what about Atletico?

Funnily enough that was very nearly the team I went with but couldn't bring myself to leave Sterling out and I opted for the balance Zinchenko brings but not sure where he's at mentally with everything still going on in Ukraine.
