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

[Strontium]

All we need now is for the Italian Kevin Lisbie to complete his hat-trick and the night will be complete.

Apart from Virgil, everyone has been dogshit

Even he's looked jaded today.

We started with a much stronger lineup against sparta prague and we were leading that game 5-1 at kickoff.

Exactly. Bizarre fucking selection.

[Creator Supreme]

Another fucking trophy in the bag for leverkusen then, at least they can stop pissing their pants about us getting to Dublin.

[TheSire]

As shit as we've been we could still get 2 goals. They don't even look that good but we're passive and keep making shit decisions with the ball. Too narrow when Atalanta have packed the center.

[Mark M]

They’ve been excellent cutting out passing options & out working us 

[Carvalho Diablo]

Gakpo has been our best player by a mile.

[El Rojo]

MacManaman’s right. We’re all over the place now. Heads gone. 

[Rick Sanchez C-137]

They're better on the ball and off it. They're closing us down to compound our already high unforced errors.

[Lurtz]

Imagine being Liverpool and being outplayed and knocked out of Europe by a two bit Italian club. Bunch of fucking shithouses this squad. 

[Carvalho Diablo]

Surely we've got to see Trent? Our most creative player?

It doesn't hurt them that most of our passes are just aimed in the vague general direction of a Liverpool player.

Which overhit pass did you enjoy the most?

[TheSire]

They're pressing as soon as we hit a pass, not even when the receiver takes a touch. We need to move the ball quicker if we're going to stop giving away the ball.

[Lee909]

Gomez limitations in possession have been shown here tonight

Correct, while we've not done well either, they've come with a game plan and work ethic and have totally outdone us by sticking to it.

[Torvald Utne]

Mo managing to fuck up a literal 1 yard pass

Not true, Gakpo had a good game. 

[Carvalho Diablo]

Shameful challenge by Gomez.

[Rick Sanchez C-137]

Our patterns are so boring, slow and predictable

What so he can get beaten easily down their left and they can bang another one in?

They're currently 0-0 at home to West Ham after 75 minutes, not sure I'd see them as a sure thing to be beating any of the Italian sides.

Come on Stig, we've fucked the FA Cup and the league to the worst Man Utd team since Stringy was a lad, and now we've fucked the Europa to a top 4 contender at best in Serie A at fucking home.

 

It's not exactly time for croquet and daiquiris is it?

It’s just a defeatist attitude. But they aren’t teasing this thread so why am I even arsed 

 

Up the Mighty Reds 

[Anubis]

Endo has been atrocious tonight.

[Baltar]

This is the worst performance of the season. We look like we're not bothered.
