Deserved the result TBH. Man City year ? The virus might put paid to that I really enjoy it when a team knows how to defend, everyone working together and knowing what's needed from them. No messing about with the ball at the back, the further away the ball is from your own goal the less chance of conceding. Its been so frustrating seeing teams playing out from the back and losing possession then conceding. Sam Allardyce said at the beginning of the season it will be interesting to see how many goals are scored from passing out from the GK compared with how many conceded from it. That gk Oblak is the best in the world in my eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted March 12, 2020 Report Share Posted March 12, 2020 Atletico are a funny one. Bit of a thriller that game but in general. Despite signing in recent times (on paper) better and more adventurous, younger players- certainly pricier, they seem to have become in some respects more defence first. Few years ago ie year they won title and made breakout into CL, reaching final first season, early Simeone years- do watch a bit of La Liga- they did seem to score more and had a wider range of approach in their game. Liverpool were great and if not for Oblak etc would have scored quite a few, Atletico showed great character but it's an odd one in that the more they've spent and tried to progress the style, the less goals they seem to score in general. Their team in the early Simeone years had quite a bit more to it IMO. More varied. Adrian's rick cost Liverpool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know people say alisson and ederson and some still throw in Neuer and Ter Stegen but this guy is top of the tree. As for Adrian, well less said the better. Absolute lottery win playing in that side when alisson is injured. Is he dating a relative of Klopp? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Posted March 13, 2020 Report Share Posted March 13, 2020 His message to the fans. Top bloke I don’t think this is a moment where the thoughts of a football manager should be important, but I understand for our supporters they will want to hear from the team and I will front that. First and foremost, all of us have to do whatever we can to protect one another. In society I mean. This should be the case all the time in life, but in this moment I think it matters more than ever. I’ve said before that football always seems the most important of the least important things. Today, football and football matches really aren’t important at all. Of course, we don’t want to play in front of an empty stadium and we don’t want games or competitions suspended, but if doing so helps one individual stay healthy - just one - we do it no questions asked. If it’s a choice between football and the good of the wider society, it’s no contest. Really, it isn’t. Today’s decision and announcement is being implemented with the motive of keeping people safe. Because of that we support it completely. We have seen members of teams we compete against become ill. This virus has shown that being involved in football offers no immunity. To our rival clubs and individuals who are affected and to those who later will become so, you are in our thoughts and prayers. None of us know in this moment what the final outcome will be, but as a team we have to have belief that the authorities make decisions based on sound judgement and morality. Yes, I am the manager of this team and club and therefore carry a leadership responsibility with regards to our future on the pitch. But I think in the present moment, with so many people around our city, the region, the country and the world facing anxiety and uncertainty, it would be entirely wrong to speak about anything other than advising people to follow expert advice and look after themselves and each other. The message from the team to our supporters is only about your well-being. Put your health first. Don’t take any risk. Think about the vulnerable in our society and act where possible with compassion for them. Please look after yourselves and look out for each other. You’ll Never Walk Alone, Jürgen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redland Posted March 14, 2020 Report Share Posted March 14, 2020 Better give them the title or we will never hear the end of it. If we don’t we end up with 35 public enquires over the next 20 years until they get the result they want. Meanwhile Heysel is quietly forgotten.
