Liverpool one down.

Anyone heard them being called Athlety before?

Atleti - yes, all the time

Struggling to get going, Liverpool.
AM bossing it in midfield.

No Trippier?

It's just the scouse accent.

I’ve always known them to the be called that.

They defend like Burnkey!
Felipe is Tarkowski in disguise!

Maybe it’s something I’ve missed over the years but I’ve never heard or read Atletico shorted to Atleti before now.

Atleti definitely playing the game here. Really getting at Liverpool. And defending like trojans. With the odd bit of gamesmanship. Brilliant to watch.

IanMcL · Post by **IanMcL** » Tue Feb 18, 2020 8:48 pm

Have you heard of Livpoo?

Was about to say that it's good to see Atletico are still perfecting their Burnley impression. Atletico 28% possession and Liverpool no shots on target after 44 mins.

Groin surgery. Gutted as was hoping he’d play this one.

IanMcL · Post by **IanMcL** » Tue Feb 18, 2020 8:49 pm

Just shows he must be very good to play in that defence!

That's their old name. It's now just called VAR.

At least we don't ponce about diving and feigning injury like them ffs ..... its as bad as Arsenil or Bournemouth out there

Agree. But it’s winding Liverpool up.

wonder if Liverpool are struggling tonight because it's been so easy for them domestically ? Sometimes hard to up the gears

Possibly. But Atletico especially at home are a totally different animal to anything Liverpool are likely to face. Home or abroad. They have everything I’d want in a team.

cricketfieldclarets · Post by **cricketfieldclarets** » Tue Feb 18, 2020 9:35 pm

Costa on. Love this guy. The Brazilian / Spanish Ashley Barnes. Or rather Barnes is the English / Austrian Costa.

Tricky Trevor · Post by **Tricky Trevor** » Tue Feb 18, 2020 9:45 pm

Atleti why I hate European football. Look at them and they fall down. Very weak ref.
Brought into English football by the Italians, Spanish and French. I wish they’d never come over.

Vegas Claret · Post by **Vegas Claret** » Tue Feb 18, 2020 9:50 pm

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

it's the referees that spoil it for me, always want to be the centre of attention - the one tonight was hapless

cricketfieldclarets · Post by **cricketfieldclarets** » Tue Feb 18, 2020 9:54 pm

Atletico absolutely outstanding. As for Liverpool. Got exactly what they deserved for disrespecting other games to save themselves for this one. Lose against the better side and lose players to injury after resting them!

IanMcL · Post by **IanMcL** » Tue Feb 18, 2020 9:54 pm

Brilliant defence, Burnley style!

Should be a good second leg at Anfield, looking forward to that.

It’s really lovely we don’t get so him that tosspot every weekend imho.

As for Simeone what a tart. Is he still trying to build back his hard man image after Beckham floored him all those years ago

Was incredible to watch. Did Liverpool have a shot on target?

Defence is equally as beautiful as attack when done like that.

Ah yes. Indeed. While the manager and first squad were abroad and didn’t bother to watch never mind take part.

At least the rest did Henderson and mane some good...

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.

Fair enough they are singing it in Spanish. It goes a little like this.

Atleti. Atleti. Atleti.

Bordeauxclaret · Post by **Bordeauxclaret** » Tue Feb 18, 2020 10:06 pm

Very unfair that. They start diving and rolling about before they score.

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?

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.
