Atletico Madrid v Liverpool 8:05 Inter-Railing around Europe Match Thread

LuckyLloyd

I don't know, I think I'm watching a completely different match to Roy Evans and a couple of you lads. I think we have worked hard since the goal - lots of tough individual plays all over the park - and have looked more than likely to score a goal (**** it - WE DID score).

About how we only ever play 4-5-1. Thats not true.

The majority of games we play 4-5-1

I disagree. NGog IMO looks lost and isolated.

I'm sick to **** of the formation TBH. Any game Liverpool play, no matter whos fit its 4-5-1.

Cool, glad we got that boxed off.

Im with Roy and the other posters here. We are just too laboured at the moment. Hard work is all well and good but again we have given their keeper little to do.

Ok-so we're agreeing. You lied

D'Agger

We've done ok after a very poor start tbh - anybody else think Johnsons not playing particularly well or is it just me?? (awaits hilarious post saying "it's just you") I know Aggers not a natural left back but we really miss Insua going forward imo

kinaldo

Come on Atleti!

(nothing against Pool btw)

Johnson put in some good crosses and forced the issue at times, nearly got in behind from a slightly wayward Gerrard pass. He's done fine. Masch hasn't.

I just cant recall when we started a game not playing 4-5-1 so if i lied it wasn't intentional :pac:

LuckyLloyd

Just looking at the replay there, that ball from Lucas to set Gerrard through was ferocious!

I think Masch has been working his bóllox off tbh - misplaced a few passes (facepalm after remembering his crossfield "pass" to Johnson) apart from that he's leading by example - great ball to put Gerrard through on goal earlier too.

Mr Alan

people are aware that we're away from home in a european semi-final against a good side? I'm not doubting that we could do with a bit more urgency, but we're doing ok.

Gerrards volleyed effort?? Coulda sworn that was Masch

Spiritoftheseventies

Oh my god. Did you see that fan slapping his belly:eek:

I am expecting the Pool to be more up for it in this half, to be more positive. At least 2 away goals, maybe a 2-2 draw, I will be happy with that.

Sure they're both South American - we'll call it a draw

Iang87

i'd love to have a heskey type player to be up front for us. genuinely think if we'd someone who could just hold up the ball longer we'd batter this bunch.

The players dont have the confidence to play to eggnogs feet in advanced positions imo

NukaCola

Lucas playing in some nice passes...

LuckyLloyd

Positive start to this half. There is definitely a goal there for us, we are getting men free from the midfield five and fullbacks in their final third repeatedly.

Spiritoftheseventies

Much better from the pool now

pistolpetes11

Liverpool look well up for it in the second half !

Come on and make me some money

I think Lucas has a better pass on him than people give him credit for. IMO, he looks like he could turn into a really useful attacking player breaking from midfield. He can certainly play those defense splitting through balls!!

NukaCola

Babel coming on??

LuckyLloyd

Babel on for N'Gog...

daithijjj

Id like to see babel come on in the next 15 mins, a bit of pace/strength to turn the defender and hopefully create a chance or two that way. Ngog shouldnt be picking the ball up 30 yards from goal being our only striker either like just happened, we have no outlets to play to.

edit.....nice, get on ryan.

Great to have priorities:)

everdead.ie

Forlan that was terrible

LuckyLloyd

That was horrendous from Masch.

Thankfully Forlan did just as poorly with the consequent chance...

ShamoBuc

That was more like it from Stevie

Im all about the money , which is why I should of stayed away from this game

Liverpool have never been too good to me when gambling bar Fernado

kingshankly

Some shocking play from both teams. Ngog needs to strenghten up considerably very weak on the ball

Babbsy called that one well

Did you hear the 5 commentator's story on where AM got their kit colours from? The jersey is based on the Sunderland one. When they went over in the early 1900's, there was no Sunderland shorts so they got Blackburn shorts instead. :pac:

Juventus' jersey is based on the Notts County strip!

LuckyLloyd

Wow Reina!

ShamoBuc

Super Reina

everdead.ie

That was a great cross great strike and great save

pistolpetes11

The Centre back for AM has put in an excellent performance so far ,

What a save from Reina

monkey9

What a brilliant brilliant save. What a brilliant brilliant keeper!!

Spiritoftheseventies

Pepe the lej.

Great save from our best player this season. Only for him.

We are desperate tonight, would nearly take this result now

Columbia

What an incredible reaction save, the ball had gone over before I even knew what happened, got to it in a flash.

Yeah, he has made two absolutely crucial tackles. Seems very strong and quick.

LuckyLloyd

Okay, N'Gog needs to get off.

missingtime

Ngog and Yossi to come off. Aqua and Babel to come. It needs to be done!!!
