UEFA Champions League/Europa League 18/19/20 February *** Spoilers ***

[Purdy]

Three throw ins now that were clearly Liverpool’s are given to them? One with the linesman changing his mind after getting shouted at lol

Lodri with faking a foul. No surprises there

Ref giving it from 30 yards away and linesman 2 away didn’t. Guess this is how it’s going to go

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

UEFA making this a bit too obvious atm.

 

[Kenai]

That sort of simulation needs VAR to help stamp it out

Atletico are gonna be going to ground every time a Liverpool player breaths near them

 

[Purdy]

Saul kicks it out of play and heads it back in so they continue on

 

[Mark1989]

Were doing nothing with the ball creative wise

In fairness, it's always going to be difficult when literally the entire AM defence and midfield retreat into the box when Liverpool get further forward than the halfway line.

Yeah I get that but just seems were trying the same option each time, just the Trent finally got a perfect speedy cross in and not one of our players had moved into the box anyway

Would be gutted if one of the divers got injured

AM are a defensive side and they have their 2 best strikers injured. Not sure what sort of football you lot think they are going to play.

No one is surprised they’re playing defensive? Unless we should expect them to dive because of some injuries lol?

 

[nemtizz]

Mane and Fabinho are soft lads.

 

[Kenai]

Standard Spanish football.

 

[Purdy]

Ref lost control of Atletico. Get to Anfield down 1 and we’re grand

 

[robfosters]

Will Liverpool fans be happy taking a 1-0 deficit back to Anfield?

great timing Purdy lol

 

[Moothead2]

Ask any fan if their players dive and all of them will say no .

They bottled it last year in Turin so yeah, not particularly scary and when under pressure they brick it. Of course that could not happen but the likelihood is great enough that this isn’t a huge concern.

I wouldn't be cause they play so defensive they could hold out even at anfield.

We need a goal, we haven't had one decent shot on target which is just poor regardless of how well there defending

They genuinely feel its part of the game on the continent. When Neymar was being slated for diving all over the place a few years ago in the WC you had every Brazilian telling us that there was nothing wrong with what he did and thats just what skilful players do.
