Liverpool vs Atletico Madrid - Champions League Last 16 (2nd Leg)

[Rich]

We've got to come out and at them from the off.

My team would be:

Adrian
TAA - Gomez - VVD - Robbo
Hendo
Keita - Wijnaldum
Salah - Firmino - Mane

I think Keita's close control and dribbling over short distances could be invaluable to help create some space against a team that is going to pretty much have two banks of 5 across. Fabinho hasn't looked himself - and Henderson coming back will allow him to be the deepest midfielder but to also pick the ball up deeper and look for the probing pass.

I agree with that but I don't think Keita will play. It'll be the usual three. I think a fit and firing Fabinho would be vital for this game and Klopp has been desperate to play him into some sort of form, I reckon, but he's been so bad.

I thought Henderson was still out for this game but you're all talking like he's available. Is that confirmed?

Trained yesterday, so I'd say he's definitely a starter on Wednesday unless he has a reaction.

Ah cool, thanks.

Hendo-Wij-Chambo midfield please.

I have a really bad feeling about this game.

[Norbs]

It's that vermin Diego Costa that bothers me most

That reads like one name.

Think it'll be an Olympiakos style 3-1 win.

Guarantee that these slippery cunts will be wasting time after 90 seconds too. Hopefully we get a half decent referee. Unlike that ****in prick from the first leg

Reffed the Salzburg game. Did we get much that day, cant remember?

Less than 3 yellows per game and one red every 5.5 games. Is that that bad?

Hopefully that means their ****housery will be punished

No. I think I was thinking one thing and typing another. The total average isn't a problem, but many games have had 8 yellows. So hopefully we don't get one of those days...

I mean we WANT a ref that is harsh, what matters more is that he is effective at spotting real infringements rather than being easily duped.
