Atletico v Liverpool

[cricketfieldclarets]

With all the detail what goes into modern day football and the planning of players, diets etc etc. Do you not think their trip abroad would have been organised in the summer? The FA royally stuffed up the replay dates and Liverpool should be congratulated at stick 2 fingers up to them.

I booked a holiday on booking dot com and could change it the day before I went. I’m sure they couldve sent the kids on the holiday and done a name change.

[cricketfieldclarets]

There are some on here, and some Man Utd, Soton, Arsenal, Bournemouth, Leicester etc etc fans, players and managers who say different.

I wonder what they are thought of generally in Spain, hoofball Madrid?

Lineker and Owen saying a top club wouldn’t accept that style of football. Hilarious how people can’t handle a side that play to it’s strengths. Got forbid they don’t just let Liverpool shoot at will.

No shots on target. That’s Liverpool’s problem they can’t break them down.

Yeah but if you booked a holiday months in advance with your work giving you time off only for them to change their mind 10 or so days before it’ll be a different story.

Perhaps they should have took their job more serious and beat The giants of Shrewsbury in the first place.

[cricketfieldclarets]

Liverpool have well and truly been Atleticoed.

Van Dyk. ‘They got a lucky goal that wasn’t even a chance’

Robertson ‘As soon as they score they start diving and rolling round’ Van Dyk ‘yes that’s the way they play it’s Spanish football it’s their game’

Hahah. Brilliant.

Klopp. ‘They are happy with that result. All they want to do is score and then play like that. They’d be happy with nil nil. They targeted Mane. They didn’t even get a yellow card today which is really funny’. (They did)

Proper riled

[cricketfieldclarets]

wait till you see Haalands second goal for Dortmund tonight......

Wow. What a player.

[ecc]

I've always liked Klopp but he's changed this year. The whole Shrewsbury thing was rank.

What gets me is that some fans, players and managers don't seem to accept that there are better teams with better players which influence how another team plays.

I mean we have Ben Mee at the back (and god do we love him) but the day I see him playing it around inside or anywhere near our penalty area, is the day I have an heart attack.

A team that had lost only 2 game all season and won something like 21/22 league games at that point need to take their job more serious?

[Vegas Claret]

Wow. What a player.

The difference is if we played against teams that had spent what we have we’d play a lot differently (see our championship seasons) than we do against teams in the PL.

A Madrid spend massive amounts and Simeone gets payed more than Pep and Klopp combined a year to serve up rubbish.

Correct. Standards slipped. Attention and focus lost. So they didn’t win. So they then had a replay. And didn’t bother to turn up. Saves their players so they didn’t get injured. Then captain and star player injured in the game they saved them for.

Atletico may not play the most flowing football.but by golly it's effective,Simeone's CL record isn't too shabby either 2 finals and a semi-final in the past 7 years,that's a far better record than Pep can boast at Man City despite their nefarious accounting methods at the Etihad.

In addition Atletico are the only club outwith Barca/Real to win La Liga in the last 15 seasons,so Simeone must be doing something right,and as for spending bucketloads,their summer spending amounted to a net profit of around £60m,so they're hardly breaking the bank compared to the European superpowers.

Mane tactically substituted, not injured. On a yellow card

Chasing a game and you substitute your best player because he’s been booked? I wouldn’t say it’s tactical and if it is further proof simeone totally outwitted and outclassed Klopp.

Sounds like he's forgotten that teams are allowed to beat Liverpool. I wish they would do it more often!

[Bordeauxclaret]

I noticed the commentator mentioned they’ve spent a lot of money recently on players that haven’t really come off as they would have liked.

Klopp would rather have him for the home leg than leave him, on still finish 1-0, and he gets booked again.

The Champions elect looked very ordinary last night,i think its a myth that the Premier league is the best league in the world,the Spanish teams contiually show us the way.

[willsclarets]

There's more than one way to win a football game, what annoys me is the so called top teams moaning at the methods another team uses to get a result. It happens with us all the time, you could probably count on one hand the times we've deserved to win a game of football according to the opposition manager. If a team artfully uses a low block you have to be good enough to break it down. If you can't, the opposition deserve credit.

Not sure about that, given it was an all English affair last season including a 4-0 thumping of Barcelona by Liverpool in the semi final

[Lord Rothbury]

Klopp already warning Madrid to expect a hostile atmosphere at Anfield could this be a veiled request for the Liverpool thugs to attack the team bus again? Seemed to work last time so not try it again sure that Meryside plod will deal with it again as effectively as before.

That's exactly what it was a call to the thugs once again....win at all costs,always the victims.

The famous Anfield atmosphere beat Barcelona that night,well so they say

No doubt at all.

And the biggest irony was the moaning about the opposition dugout being animated.

Daniel?

must be an armchair supporter

would be Danny Fagan if he was a proper scouser

[FCBurnley]

Klopp. Easy to be mr nice guy when you win every game. Out thought last night by Atletico and Liverpool looked poor And the true Klopp was on show for all to see. I would be delighted if we played like Atletico and beat Liverpool.
