Liverpool had two attempts after a decade of mediocrity and won it by playing aggressively. It's objectively less effective. It can get you very far, but with their now enormous financial muscle, they need to try and actually build develop on their initial success. This football can still win you Euros and World Cups, when the game is slower and less coordinated, like it did with Portugal and France, but you just can't win a CL playing like this. The amount of money they’ve spent, I can’t believe the board and fans are happy with watching that shite. But he’s loved at Atletico so clearly they’re fine with it.

Fair enough - I'll disagree. I think they'll win one eventually. To say they'll never win one is a bit far-fetched, in my humble opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael 1,117 Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 Liverpool were on top in this game until that blunder by Adrian. After that Atletico just punished Liverpool in a clinical fashion. They are the worst team you want your team to come up against though, with their park the bus and counter attack strategy. But we need to remember that this is the knockout round of the Champions League, if you make mistakes like how Adrian did tonight, you will get punished. I feel sorry for Liverpool though, as they were doing very well up until Adrian made his pathetic clearance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick 2,276 Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 We were brilliant tonight. Keeper fucked us, decided to make his biggest errors of the season all in one game. Ridiculous. You’d think he would be inspired by Oblak playing like a bat out of hell, but no, he decided to just resort to being piss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's a cultural thing where in some clubs/countries it's normal to have clear opportunities for your backup keepers, which in turn makes it easier to attract strong backups. I think with Britain we're a bit obsessed with having settled first choices in defence, particularly the goalkeeper. As you say, Real had Diego Lopez and Casillas for ages, Atlético had Moya for ages, Barca always have good backups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I just find it strange that in this day and age where football has been taken so far from doing things because of tradition that elite clubs in England (and whereever else it applies) don't stock up with a top level back-up keeper) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he’s loved at Atletico so clearly they’re fine with it. Unfortunately this style of football has brought them a lot of success. If they were to play a different way, it's quite likely that they wouldn't be as successful as they have been. Simeone obviously puts a great emphasis on defending and he brings in the best players suited to this style of play. It's annoying to watch when your team is up against them, but it has been very effective for Atletico over the years. Last season it did bring a smile to my face when Dortmund beat Atletico 4-0 and Juventus beat Atletico 3-0 to knock them out. It's very satisfying to see clubs destroy Atletico's defensive style of football and seeing their parked bus getting smashed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucas 3,827 Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 A tale of two keepers. One is arguably in the Top 5 of the best in the world, the other one is primarily a back up, and it showed. Atletico are what they are. Been this way for years. They soak up pressure then hope to take their chances. Got to hand it to them, masters at it. Liverpool were 'decent' tonight. The better team yes, but far from vintage. I've seen much better from them to be frank. This game came at the wrong time for them. Unfortunate but that first leg wasn't great and games like Barcelona last year are not common occurrences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
