Atalanta (H) - EL Quarter Final, 1st leg - Thu 11th Apr 2024 (8:00pm)

[Lurtz]

Been an utter fucking shambles. A total fucking embarrassment. 

[joe_fishfish]

Just lacking that wee bit of absolutely fucking everything.

[Mark M]

Our play from the back is painful to watch - they are tactically killing us.

the plus point is we’ve 5 subs we can make & we need to use them all

[Anubis]

TNT gobshite trying to make out Klopp running down the tunnel is unusual. Over to DAZN.

[niallers]

Absolutely dreadful half. Wrong team,bad attitude and deservedly losing

[Torvald Utne]

Elliot and Jones need to be hauled off, destroying every move and making everyone else lose confidence.  Should never start both.

[Josef Svejk]

Gasperini masterclass.

We binning this europa thingy to concentrate on the league right 

 

Yes, like we binned the FA cup to concentrate on the Europa. 

[Dapower]

Wrong team picked yet again and we ain’t winning fuck all else this season if we don’t buck up our ideas

[Josef Svejk]

Lots of poor performances. But Tsimikas is operating on a whole new level of shit. 

[diamondjoe]

Sick of watching us. Same game on repeat for months. Huff and puff, no real idea of how to score an actual goal. Always having  to dig it out. Fed up. Can we not tank some cunts for a change. 

[magicrat]

Arguably the worst first 45 all season. They made a fucking mockery of us

Wonder what his plans are next season 

[Tarwater]

Jones and Tsimikas understandably rusty from not having played much the last months, but Tsimikas seems tactically a bit dim as well. Kelleher has saved us at least two times this game, so I’ll not be overtly critical. The entire team misses easy passes and we don’t seem to have a plan to counter Atalanta’s press.

McManaman vocabulary calender was definitely 'Glorius Isolstion' today. The prick

 

And take a note of the words ‘glorious isolation’. I like it, and I want to shoehorn it into every conversation

Elliot is playing ok. Twice he was in a great position and should have received better balls from Gakpo.

 

I will happily change the whole fucking team though. 

[Leyton388]

Just like watching Rodgers Ball. Pathetic. 

[El Rojo]

Should be 0-2. Two brilliant saves Kelleher probably shouldn’t have gotten to though he should have saved the goal.

Don’t really enjoy seeing Nunez smiling after a bad miss. He’s such a streaky player, ten great games and then ten poor ones.

 

Tsimikas has been horrible and Jones has been far too slow. I can see why Konate has dropped behind Quansah.

 

Atalanta are really well drilled and set-up. Completely have our number tonight.

 

[Bobby Hundreds]

Bit grim that.. sterile abomination. 

[Red Phoenix]

One or more of Jota, Diaz and Mo should sort things out and maybe bring Konate off if he's going to be rested at weekend otherwise?

[AngryOfTuebrook]

So far, so shite.

 

Possibly the worst half of the season.

[Anubis]

Benfica and Roma one up. Hammers 0-0 with Leverkusen.

Tsimikas is the footballing equivalent of...

Tied us up in knots that half.

[Nelly-Szoboszlai]

A kind of reverse of the United game. This time we’re going in at half time wondering how we’re not 2 or 3 behind. 
 

Literally everyone of them have been shite. Atalanta’s tactics have been spot on. Cut off our central defenders and Endo’s ability to build up attacks and have made Mac Allister have to try and drop deeper to try and get involved. 
 

Changes to be made at half time. Utterly criminal if the same XI come out for the second half.
