A tale of two halves, they looked good in the first half but overall they didn't deserve to win this game, PSG was superior to them from the 35th minute onwards.
There's an argument to be made their conditioning post-covid was backwards - started very strong and faded towards the end, not a good look for the CL - but then again they were very much playing for CL during the restart. Still, 12 games, in summer heat, in the space of 40 days, at the end of a unique season, that was gonna leave a mark no matter whatThis. They just need better conditioning. Mind you Gasperini used alot of his squad in the last few games.
That might actually be an advantage, the big clubs won’t be interested.Another cinderella story broken, like Ajax and Monaco before. They wont get dismantled but their key players are around 30 so I doubt they'll be comming back soon.
I agree, I dont think anyone besides maybe Zapata will get a move. But what's impressive about them is their front 3, Ilicic and Papu Gomez are 32 already, Zapata is 29 so its only natural they'll regress every year thats why I dont think we'll see them at this stages in the next years.That might actually be an advantage, the big clubs won’t be interested.
Atalanta aren't really judged on winning trophies compared to say the Milan or Rome clubs. It's been a fantastic season from them, shame they couldn't have gone a round or two further.They'll never win anything playing with that style though.
It's good to watch, but they carry on playing the same way.
At some point there has to be a plan B, and alas, I don't think they have one.
Usually says more about the manager or coaches than the players. I think the same with Liverpool. Not as much obviously, they clearly have great players in their team. But you look at their first 11, and think how the hell has Klopp won the premier league and champions league with that lot?They are such a weird club, they have been a revelation over the past few seasons and one of the most exciting teams to watch and yet I dont look at their players with great desire to see united sign one or two of them, they are kinda like Sheffield united in that sense.
Yeah especially when you look at their depth outside their first choice 11Usually says more about the manager or coaches than the players. I think the same with Liverpool.

I remember your games against them, thats when they caught my eye.Someone posted on GoT that in 17-18 they and Lyon were in our EL group. I remember they destroyed us 3-0 and 5-1 (We didn't think it would be an easy game but definitely thought we had a chance). Now both of those clubs are in the CL QF and we are languishing in 12th place in the PL.
I feel like both clubs have a clear philosophy despite who the manager is (though Atalanta still have the same manager from that period so that helps). We haven't and currently Brands is trying to deal with the damage that Walsh did / imprint our own club philosophy. It will be interesting if Atalanta can regroup or not next season as they've been pretty consistent now for a few years.I remember your games against them, thats when they caught my eye.
Its interesting seeing the progress of them and Lyon considering they were both in EL group a few years back. It definaltey not due to the lack money, what do you think the reasons are for the lack of progress?
Lyon? Lyon are wank and to compare them to Atalanta?I remember your games against them, thats when they caught my eye.

I can see that too. It’s a shame you bottled champions league again because Leicester vs Atalanta would be a banger.They remind me of……….US!
=DThey are like the car boot sale version of Dortmund.
Nah. You actually win stuff!They remind me of……….US!
Has anyone ever seen him & Podolski in the same room at the same time though?Gosens plays for Atalanta? Why didn't i know this..
Sign their recruitment teamThe fact they are going for the likes of Botman and Musso, when they already have Romero in defence, Maehle and Gosens as wing-backs, plus Zapata up top and Malinovskyi behind him, is really impressive.
Now that you mention it i cant unsee it now...Has anyone ever seen him & Podolski in the same room at the same time though?
Seem to be a really well run club.The fact they are going for the likes of Botman and Musso, when they already have Romero in defence, Maehle and Gosens as wing-backs, plus Zapata up top and Malinovskyi behind him, is really impressive.
They're letting go of Gollini after bringing in Musso, though, which is strange as I found Gollini to be the better keeper. Other than that, though, their recruitment is amazing.The fact they are going for the likes of Botman and Musso, when they already have Romero in defence, Maehle and Gosens as wing-backs, plus Zapata up top and Malinovskyi behind him, is really impressive.
Miranchuk, Pasalic, Muriel, Pessina, Dijmsti… they are going for the Scudetto next year, aren’t they? 90 points are well within their reach, provided that they start well.The fact they are going for the likes of Botman and Musso, when they already have Romero in defence, Maehle and Gosens as wing-backs, plus Zapata up top and Malinovskyi behind him, is really impressive.
Yep bit strange for me too - I actually think Musso is the better keeper, but not by that much.They're letting go of Gollini after bringing in Musso, though, which is strange as I found Gollini to be the better keeper. Other than that, though, their recruitment is amazing.
That's amazing!Tweet
