It's attack v defence with the occasional counter. The first goal is going to be huge.
Liverpool chucking everything at Atletico but is it ripe for a smash & grab ? (Warboys & Bannister, for older viewers)
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.
As I was saying
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.
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
Sludge is distraught.
We should have gone for Simeone
Liverpool have had 34 shots will 11 on target, Atletico having had 10 shots and 6 on target. If Liverpool were able to get 60% of shots on target they would be out of sight but Klopp's sides always create so many chances for the same 2-3 goals per game. Diego Simeone may be a genius at defensive play but getting 60% of their shots on target is why they're so successful.
