Jaqen Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 The current Atleti defence is one of the worst they've had under Simeone. To be able to limit City to one goal over two legs was impressive. Was fairly obvious they were just trying to put themselves in a position where they could either knick something from a counter or set piece or just go for it in the 2nd half at the return leg at home. Was pretty close to working as well. The stuff about it being 'anti football' is rubbish, they had some great sequences playing it out from the back against a really well organised high pressing side. They are all mostly very good technical players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prophet Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 (edited) Atleti's defence has been shite this season. Simeone has tried to have them be more progressive and they were caught between styles. They went back to basics at Old Trafford and again in both legs v City and looked much better for it.

Anderson Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 Slightly longer version. Creased at the Spanish police, true to form, flying straight past the Atleti aggressors to get to City. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve always thought those jibes about Atleti being boring to watch completely untrue. It’s fair to say they can be defensive minded, but as previously mentioned their players are always so technically gifted they’re still enjoyable to watch. They’ve had some lovely players over the years. Forlan, Aguero, Falcao, Koke, Saul, Griezzemann, Felix etc. Edited April 14, 2022 by Rafalove Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OverThere Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 Crazy stuff. Atleti love the dark arts until they lose or someone does it to them. If you can't take it then don't dish it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peppe Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 What's up with Liverpool getting to play shit teams all the way to the final every year? Annoying.

Sima Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 The state of BT’s commentary around the incident, man. I’m just relieved it wasn’t Liverpool. They would have been asking for capital punishment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groundhog63 Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 Didn't watched either game but I have viewed that Felipe/Foden "clash" Fwiw I'd have sent Foden off 1st. Clearly tried to stamp/land on Felipe's leg. Could've snapped it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who is really cheating? how does Pep taking nandrolone as a player have anything to do with him as manager? Did you forget the time Simeone threw himself to the ground to get Beckham sent off in 98? I’m certain both did a bunch of shit as players that is completely irrelevant to their managerial careers. Now if they cheat as managers, bring that up. Always outraged Triggs. Gotta hand it to you.

Real time is around 0.12 seconds though, not a chance he can do anything but land how/where he does. At that pace there's no way anyone can deliberately reposition their feet in mid air to attempt anything. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
