I just answered why Sancho should be in it. 

Because you think he's a better winger than Foden or Bowen? Haha. If that were so he'd have more than 3 goals and 2 assists in the last 12 months wouldn't he? Hardly rocket science to see why he's been left out, the right choice.

You can’t normally give Italian teams a two goal start in a final and expect to beat them, unless you’re us of course.

[RedHeadedRed]

What a goal

 

[Scott_M]

I’ll be quiet.

[Bjornebye]

Have Everton claimed the Europa league yet?

Thank fuck

[Dapower]

Slot wouldn’t have lost this

[Binomial]

Xabi's been found out.

 

Glad we went for Arne instead...*insert whistling emoji*

[SasaS]

Bullet dodged.

[coachpotato]

Leverkusen have to get the next goal to stand any chance.

[Pidge]

Let the keeper off the hook there.

[Dapower]

Everybody’s gotta lose sometime 

[Em City]

Atalanta are a proper pain in the arse to play against. This is near identical to both the games at Anfield where they beat us.

[Jairzinho]

Gasperini is dressed like he means business today.

 

And that business is selling eighths off the back of a scooter.

[Binomial]

Gasperini's tactics spot on. Atalanta getting right up in their faces and Leverkusen can't adapt. Overmatching them physically. 

[Red Phoenix]

People are writing Leverkusen off after 40 mins? This Leverkusen?

[Jairzinho]

That Italian defending.

 

[Pidge]

The way they spread the game out is so good. They know when to sit off, when to press, trapping the ball at times but keeping a deep line so they don't get played over. If you try and play through the middle they bring extra men in to congest it and if you go direct they have the covering pace and strength to make it hard for the attacker.

 

The Belgian lads and zappacosta central to making it work, it seems.

[Binomial]

This half has flown by, surprised by how defeated Leverkusen look. Nothing from them. Big HT coming up for Xabi.

Koopmeiners? 

 

Isn't there rumours we're tracking him intently

Stop moaning and get behind the lads.

Atalanta were very good at Anfield, took us by surprise just like Leverkusen tonight. They have huge energy and relentless pressing.

He's gone full Guardiola, you never go full Guardiola.

 

Leaving Schick and Boniface on the bench and the putting Frimpong at CF = leaving Rodri on the bench for the European Cup final.

I think he has experience of being down at half time in European finals.
