Match Thread : Atletico Madrid v Liverpool

[Nineteenx]

Think Naby needs to come off at HT scored a brilliant goal, but he's all over the place in the press and hugely culpable in both their goals

Suarez isn’t even on the pitch yet.

Hmm - we would all bite an arm off for a draw here.

It started at 2 nil. Wayward passing gave hope to AM. Now 2 2 and our midfield is non existent. Keita especially.

He should be taken off at the half, and replaced with Fabby maybe.
Thanks for the worldie and the contribution, but we need to shore up that midfield sharp-ish.

If by 'think we've already won the game' you mean drop our intensity and invite the opposition to come forward without pressing them, I agree, not just after we've humbled a side, every single time we drop off, we absolutely suck at that

Yep. It’s an annoying feature to our players, collectively which I don’t get.

I mean we humbled Norwich, came undone at Brentford when we dropped the intensity. Humbled Porto, got served a lesson first half against city, took the lead twice, and still dropped off. Same with Watford and now today.

Scored a nice goal but Keita is having a terrible game. Pull him at half time Jurgen. Our midfield is non existent.

....and an ear.

I hear Iron Mike is a Liverpool FC admirer.
No, seriously.

LFC, club of the people, and the occasional cannibal

Alisson has been excellent.

We need to drop a touch deeper they are getting in with ease.

Still we have done well to be level as they should be in front.

[HLOGI]

Proper test. I said on the weekend Atleti and United will be a barometer of where we will be in May in terms of winning stuff. Watford were atrocious.

We have 5 clean sheets in the league but i think 4 of those we were lucky. We are not managing games looking after the ball, making tactical fouls etc.

At 2-0 u let the oppo have the ball deep in their half you reset and wait to hirt them on counter. But we are like a basketball team. We have to attack every 24 seconds

[skyebo]

If the midfield play as bad at the weekend, we'll have big problems.
