Atletico Madrid vs Liverpool - Champions League Last 16 (1st Leg)

[Fosterbloke]

This will be a great game I reckon

[Saveloy]

Apparently if Robbo gets booked he misses the second leg.

[Saveloy]

Balls

[Fosterbloke]

Well that went well.

[Roboklopp]

Knew this would be tough

[Irishnev]

4-5-1 for them and as you said that’s the best side/bench we can possibly have....not sure Shaq would make it

Looks a 4-4-1-1 with Koke on the right

Sloppy start from us - Robbo beaten to a 50/50, Trent bypassed easily and asleep on the corner

Big test now with the crowd super charged

[dizzycat]

that will make a game of it

[Slinky Skills]

Terrible start.

[Kenneth]

A shambolic goal to concede.

[McDermotX]

Trent needs to recalibrate

[dom9]

Madrid seem to be happy to sit back.

Interesting, given the problems they caused in the first five minutes.

[McDermotX]

Good response last 5mins.....just need to be a bit quicker with our options

I think we are forcing them back - great reaction from us to going behind. These are not the defensive machine of previous years. We can get at these and score

It's a risky strategy on their part, if it is intentional.

Mind you, attacking us is pretty risky too.
