CL: Liverpool v Atletico Madrid Thread

[James Dean]

Whopper.

 

Now now.

[ratcatcher]

final thing I have to say...we need a deco type player....

 

At the expense of a certain captain.

 

 

Would that be the deco who got sent off tonight for 2 yellow cards by any chance? :whistle:

[Kevin D]

I was quite happy with that. I'd say it was our best home display by a mile and second only the Chelsea game. Passed it very well , put little triangles together , overlapping runs and playing at a very good tempo. There no letheragic opening 75 minutes followed by late rescue , it was wave after wave of Red attack and that bodes well for Saturday. I fear for WBA. It was a certain penalty too.

 

Code72 , how many times did Alonso give the ball away? Can't have been more than 5.

[stringvest]

it was wave after wave of Red attack

 

I've seen stronger waves from Jeremy Beadle's bad hand. We had a lot of the ball, but were poor in the last 25 yards. We didn't actually put much on target.

[twelvesmallsteps]

some reactions on here surprise me. i never thought it was a penalty, but a real challenge for the ball.

 

like someone said, the pen was always coming anyway - the ref was really, really poor.

 

we need to start taking our chances and stop falling behind in games. hopefully saturday will see us batter wba :whistle:

[Kevin D]

Christ I've just read page 12 + 13 and I strongly advise no-one else do likewise.

Deco is a tit. That type of player in front of Alonso - Mascherano with Riera and his twin brother out wide would be ace though. We'll never see it obviously with Gerrard still at the club.

Well we could always sell him, put the club in hock to another £20m and offer the chavs all the money? Or, we could just offer Gerrard in pX with oh, say £20m.

 

Then, we could really have something to moan about a diving cheating johnny foreigner in our team?

 

No thanks.

[Guest simon]

Good match I thought, very open.

 

That is all.

That and Rafa made some crazy subs Yossi could have made a bigger impact than Lucas. Alonso was ace Agger was unlucky but still good. and Ngog was a crazy sub he is far to inexperienced to be playing in Europe yet.

A diving, cheatin Englishman isn't much better imo, but each to their own I guess.

[lawrie]

It was a soft penalty but it most definately was not a dive, some of you are a disgrace

[05 Milan]

For the players and fans alike, the CL group stages seem to have become something of a nuisance, something to get over with as soon as possible, get 9 points so you can play the kids and concentrate on the league. In wonder if this has to be taken into account? I hope we see a real response against West Brom.

:wallbutt:

[gkmacca]

Now that it's over one can reflect on what an utter tit ITV's commentator was, combining a Clive Tiddleyesque desperation to niggle with a Garth Crooks' style capacity for pomposity. He informed Rafa beforehand that we hadn't beaten a Spanish side here before - a stat which Rafa treated with the disdain it deserved - and then practically shouted at him, 'Put it right!'. Then he moved on to Torres Watch - constantly speculating which team he was supporting, then admonishing him in case he was rooting for his old team, then congratulating him for applauding our goal! An absolute bell end of the first order!

You talk utter shit.

[James Dean]

You talk utter shit.

 

Why is that?

[foamer simpson]

How do I neg?

 

There's going down under contact and there's diving. If that incident happened outside the box it would be a freekick. Watch the replay from the linesmans point of view, the defender glances at Stevie coming in and gets in his way as he makes a feeble attempt to win a ball which had Gerrards name on it the moment it became 50-50.

 

I'm not his biggest fan but luxury player? Nah mate, one of the best players in the world and one of the best footballplayers to wear red!

 

Super Repped

 

Bad taste my arse. No one would be complaining if it was Nando.

[rebel23]

Gerrard, Alonso, Riera and Mash are feeling the effects of playing a lot of games hence sloppy performances and not closing out the Spurs game properly.

 

hopefully they can all have a rest next week with the carling cup

[Neil G]

I don't know what Karl Pilkington was refereeing the match, but thank feck he made that decision. We deserved at least that, though. A tear or so ago we wouldn't just have been down, we would have been waiting for a chance - now at least we're making plenty of chances. That was almost England v Poland '73 at times in the second half.

 

 

It wasn't him, it was Tim McManus from Oz.

[tony_robbo]

Generally a disappointing game. Don’t know how Kuyt wasn’t the first to be substituted after another amateur-hour type performance. I think most were off the boil today, though. Got to put the baggies in their place now.

[DooooodekNo5]

Some complete wankers on here tonight who surely cant be Liverpool fans.

 

Crouch would of been perfect for tonight , though our set pieces are usually shite we had many a good delivery in the box tonight just noone there to finish them off.

[Guest TK-421]

Babel looks fat.

[chorlton]

Missed bits of the game due to the world being a cunt.

 

How was aurelio? I really like his delivery.

[Dan Vito Corleone]

How was aurelio? I really like his delivery.

 

I thought he was appalling myself.

[RedKnight]

It was a terrible dive and the officials fucked up, I thank them for it however otherwise I wouldn't have seen the Atletico players throw a collective strop and refuse to kick off.
