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

It's taken all of 45 minutes for me to want to never have to play Atletico again. The goal was a bit unfortunate but we played into their hands in the first 15-20 minutes - we needed to have a bit more control and manage the game better, just to take the sting out of the game.

The only thing more annoying than sides like Atletico and Napoli are UEFA officials - it doesn't matter how much time wasting and stoppages that's gone on, it's almost always 1 minute added in the first and 3 minutes added on in the 2nd half. The var check for their goal alone took more than a minute and then you had 30 second waits at every single break in the game.
 
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
I know the score was completely different, but you could argue that Barca are an easier team to overturn a deficit against than AM.
 
I can see this ending 1-1 and us turning them over easily enough at Anfield. I think if AM are forced to attack they are there for the taking and thats why they sit back so deep and timewaste instead so much.
 
Origi is mostly shocking anyway but then he has few games where he is world class for us, saves the day and lives off that for the next 10 games.

Said it even when he was our hero, he is not a good long term back up option
