I wonder if it’s possible for the BBC to cram even more footage and interviews with TAA on their Sports website. A complete love in at the moment.

That's not my argument, my argument is the league is wrapped up, why not win as many trophies as possible, the dippers chose to rest players for fear of dropping points against Bournemouth after the Watford result, but why fret there 20 points clear is my argument.

I know. Just wanted to get in a sly dig at the dippers.
 
Alisson isn’t that big of a loss for the atletico game to be fair. Atletico don’t intend on coming out of their half. Pity they’re playing Bournemouth this weekend and not a team like Burnley

I can't remember them being 20 pts clear in March, so throwing the cups is just insane that's my logic.

But the point is they do it regardless of their league position, to call them boring and claim they fear dropping points against Bournemouth is not only stupid but laughable. We made changes when we lost to Wigan in the fa cup 100 points season. I wouldn’t class us as boring for doing so.

Atletico will do what they always do, blitz for the first 15 minutes, then drop off massively, then have one or two more periods when they blitz, looking for a goal. They won't just defend for 90 minutes.

Adrian threw the ball in his own net on Tuesday so it will be interesting to see how he copes with Simeone's lot going for him full tilt from the whistle.

If your comparing Wigan away where we went fairly strong and lost 1-0 playing on a chewed up bobbly rugby pitch, to Chelsea away I'm done.

Try reading posts properly in future.

That was my point, they throw the cups stupidly no matter on league position. They aren’t out because they’re scared of Bournemouth. They’re out because they disrespect each domestic cup every year.

The irony for them is they had a strong team out, for the first time in the competition and still got dumped out of the cup. You’re making out they are out because they are scared of Bournemouth.

I think they are scared of dropping points and not beating our 100pts,they desperately want that

Maybe, I’d have thought they might have gone even weaker against Chelsea then. I think they stumbled to the round they got to then tried to stumble through some more. They’re out and good riddance

Nope he is one of their key players and has improved them considerably. Good job for them they are far in front.
 
Alisson being out for the Atletico game is huge in my opinion. Atletico will get 2-3 decent chances to score and you'd bank on them converting one of those with Adrian in net.

It won't happen but imagine if they dropped points vs Bournemouth, won't affect the league at all but that lot would start bricking it for the Atletico game onwards.

Yeah, if Atletico can get an early goal they're very likely to go through. As much as both us and the dippers love to brag about our keepers, Oblak is arguably the best shot stopper in the world and even with it being a "European night at Anfield" it won't be easy for them to score on him.

Losing Allison is a big blow for the Dippers, Adrian has a mistake in him as per the Chelsea game. If I was an Athletico forward I would be shooting on site on Wednesday.
