Abs: Liverpool are on a different level to Benfica. Unbelievable standard of football from the Reds.

Bob: In football there are two ways to win. Either get blessed with billions of petrodollars or the more economical route of a friendly German man with a massive smile.

All a bit 'meh' thus far

Sterling needs to cut to the far post when Rodri and Kev, even Stones, have the ball.

He's stood there like a rock

 

[Nascent Blues]

Final/killer pass has been woeful.

 

[Blu1]

This is what happens we get frustrated and then start running out of ideas..

Yep our energy is dropping too which is a worry. Putting pressure on ourselves

Honestly i'm going to the away leg and im buzzing for it. we will beat by 2 or 3 goals at their gaff as they will be more open

 

[Damanino]

we try to create some crosses but no one really close to them in the middle. so far its probably easier for Atletico than they expected.

Sterling is mediocre on the left compared when he is playing from right. while Bernardo and Gundo is just not at the races so far. when that changes we might score.

 

[clarion]

71% of totally unproductive possession.

And 30% Stones- Laporte

 

[Paul1970]

They’re much better than many give them credit; it’s just that they are drilled to play in one particular way.

Beautiful city, Madrid, and lovely weather, but I can’t for the life of me understand why a top player would ever want to play for them. It’s not enjoyable to watch and can’t be enjoyable to play.

Anyone who thought this would be easy dont watch football as they are one of the best teams in Europe and full of quality . We have to bide our time and maybe get a scrappy one but we need to up our gane

Is it Stoke we are playing against?
