Pep just realised he didn't put the bin out.

When you come up against teams like this you sometimes need something different ahhh like a striker the false nine is looking totally ineffective against them hopefully I’ll eat my words second half ..

Will say as tough as it is to watch atletico are producing a masterclass in defending deep effectively. Fair play to them

yeah it’s shite to watch but they’re brilliant at it

 

[heslops barnet]

Bit of positivity and an understanding of why we are playing the way we are. Goes a long way.

2-0 we’ll win this second half. Their concentration will break at some point.

Come on the blue boys!!

I’ll have a pint of what you’re drinking

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

Rodri or Gundogan to score this half.

Please let this be true.

For those complaining about Atletico's tactics, what did you honestly expect from them? That they'd go toe to toe with us? They were always going to park the bus.

If so, what is a more forward thinking player in zinchenko doing sat on the bench

Atletico are here for a 0-0 draw. We had zero shots on target. Not once did we threaten their goal. They have like 5 goal keepers before the ball even reaches Oblak!

We need to start shooting from outside the box and hope for a rebound cause we aint scoring from open play.

Also our corners have been poor!!! Ake, Laporte and Stones can score from set pieces but we need to deliver better corners.

I cannot blame any of the players. Atletico are playing 11 behind the ball in their final 3rd so they have nullified our wingers. We need to shoot from outside more.

Not keen on all the frivolity in the tunnel before the second half.

 

[Blue tiger]

Fair play to A.Madrid, its shite to watch but they are good at what they do. Games crying out for Foden.

 

[SCEtoAUX]

The world's greatest manager should be able to work out how to beat these. Me, I'm clueless but at the hour mark I'd put Razza on the right, take off Mahrez and chuck Jack on the left.
