It's attack v defence with the occasional counter. The first goal is going to be huge.

Liverpool 1 - 0 ATM
Atletico will have to change their tactics now.Quote:

They’re missing some chances and the Atletico ‘keeper, although he’d never make a backstop, doesn’t half clear his lines with his punches and palms out.
Atletico still hanging on, but I think defensively minded football has had its day. It's only because Liverpool didn't convert their chances that Atletico are still in it.
Now they've got to come out.Quote:

As I was saying :hehe:
Whatever happens tonight, Diego Simeone will still go down as the last great practitioner of the defensive game. It should have been all over in normal time, so it's a very risky strategy, and nine times out of ten Liverpool win it.
2-2!
If it stays like this will it be ‘Simeone tactical genius’ or a tale of poor finishing and the performances of two goalkeepers? Also Liverpool’s defending has been shocking again as it has these last couple of weeks.
That Liverpool crowd has gone very quiet:hehe:
Sludge is distraught.
Unless two of the ten games are against Atletico Madrid.Quote:

Diego Simeone may be a genius at defensive play but getting 60% of their shots on target is why they're so successful.Quote:

Liverpool have been off for a couple of weeks, they've lost form at the wrong time.Quote:

I thought Liverpool were the better team overall. The stats at 90 minutes showed how they dominated the game. Salah had an off-night and Adrian is nowhere the keeper Allison is. Whatever, shit happens. Their fans will have to make do with being current European champions and future English Champions. That would do nicely for me. Just once. In my whole life.
Devastated
That they didn't lose by a far higher margin
I love it when the likes of liverpool united etc get knocked out of europe
You have to have great admiration for the liverpool side of the seventies that won the european cup , which in those days wasnt the capitalist cash cow it's become
And people always forget forest under clough , what a tremendous side they were , based not on big names but team spirit
That's what football should be about , not all this money crap
I thought they were having a record breaking season until the game against Watford?Quote:
