They will get peppered at Anfield. Their main striker is Morata for some reason.
Atletico Madrid Discussion
- Thread starter Adisa
- Start date

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
Atletico would go through I believe they would also get a result at Anfield as well.

They are gonna park the airbus and play for a 0-0 at Anfield all day long.
I'm hoping for a glorious shithousing performance but i think Liverpool will still manage to go through
And I asked you last week. Do you think a 1-0 win against Liverpool is job done by Simeone or job done by Klopp? Considering we've lost 7 of our last 11 away Euro ties so it's par for the course for us.The internet is for moment like this: I told you so
Judging by the posts on here it sounds like posters are saying job done by Klopp. Don't make me quote them all, there's far too many.
Diego has been out, last night was his 1st game back if I am not wrong
Surely, it can't be a part of the plan or a good result? I doubt that Klopp's strategy is including the possibility of an away defeat with a home tie comeback in mind.
That's what they do in every single game. Doesn't matter if it's Liverpool at Anfield or Extremadura in Copa del Rey at home.
Well then I hope it works again and when the game starts getting nasty and Kloppo inevitably loses his rag, I hope Simeone headbutts his shiny white dentures off his mouth.
Few teams better at defending a lead.
I think this tie is over.
Edit: hopefully Robertson tries his hardman routine on Costa.

I do think Klopp won't be too fussed to have lost that by just one goal, not happy, but not exactly worried. But I do hope Atletico put in the most ugly disgusting performance and go through, obviously.
Job done by Klopp for keeping the scoreline 1-0.
You realise how ridiculous that sounds?
It's not job done for either manager. It's halfway through a tie where one manager has lost but is going back to his home stadium and the other manager has won but only by a goal against a team that tends to be high scoring.
People acting like Liverpool are out are idiots and the Liverpool fans and staff going on with bitterness and talking about some mythical hell are also embarrassing.
I still think Liverpool are the favourites and I expect them to get through.
If Atlético weather the early storm though and espcially if they score early, the tie becomes exceedingly interesting.
I think Liverpool are going to find it extremely difficult to turn this tie around. Atleti were only at about half strength last night and with 3 weeks until the 2nd leg, will likely have a fully fit Costa, Felix and Gimenez back in the side.
Liverpool still seem very favorite.
It could happen that Atlético played to scare,trying to score a goal, but that would mean opening up and conceding spaces and seeing previous ties I think it won't happen now.
I imagine them defending in the small area after 10 minutes and Liverpool finally scoring .
Their recent history in penalty shootings is also not very promising

The black and white mentality, i.e. Liverpool are gonna smash them at Anfield or This is over. Needed to score in Spain is bizarre. Why is it so hard to think along the lines of Atletico are a 55-60% favourite now?
If Liverpool have a bad day, it might work. But still, if they turn up, there is no way they won't concede on that small pitch. It will be one wave after the other at some point, and they don't seem as stable away from home. I see it more like the Juve tie last year, where they will get opened up at some point and have no answer offensively.
What do you mean with «not a good match up»? That their strengths lie in defence? Lots of teams aren't a good match up then.
Since the Supercopa Atlético lost 2:0 away to Eibar, played 0:0 against Léganes, lost 1:0 to Madrid, won 1:0 against Granada and played 2:2 against Valencia (1-2-3). Performances were awful. That they managed to win yesterday was surely a big surprise, well done to them. But again, not much to suggest that before the game.
Wow this happened?
Saw a crazy stat that Atletico under simeone have only ever been knocked out in the champions league when the opponent's team has had ronaldo in it.
Whilst defensive tactics are not usually fun to watch, there is something about simeone's defensive style that I find entertaining.

Juve last season, failed to qualify from group before that and then Real four times in a row before that (semis, finals 2x and quarters). They've not been a good away team lately (2 away wins in the last 10 in the CL, 4 in all competitions this season).
Can we score three goals at home? Yes. Do we need to get out of Spain with less than three goals conceded? Yes.
Job done?
I said I wasn't going to quote the huge number of posts that say this same thing, but some posters aren't getting it. If this is the vastly overwhelming sentiment on a Utd website then is it job done or not @thepolice123 ?
They’ve perfected the art of looking like they’re getting pummelled and massively under the cosh yet the opposition rarely get a shot on target or even a good chance.
It’s remarkable how composed and relaxed they are in these situations.
The job for the first leg is definitely done — for Simeone. I doubt that anyone is saying that either Klopp or Simeone have done enough already to guarantee a 100% chance of getting through? Liverpool are still favourites, but they are less likely to go through than they were two days ago.
By the way, you're quoting a Real Madrid supporter, so it's not really a quote that works well with the "Utd website" argument.
As Juve are not playing the same week as us (I think) I hope Klopp is angry enough to invite Ronaldo down to watch and book him a seat just behind and between the two benches. Furthermore, I hope Klopp laughs and jokes and hugs him in full view of the Atletico players to give them the heebee jeebees.
They had a 2-0 vs Juventus last year - personally I see Liverpool going through.
Also, I love Costa but he's anything but a hard man. Typically won't pick on gius bigger than him - Van Dijk is definitely the strongest/biggest guy between both teams imo.
Basing on the certainty that Liverpool will score 2 or more?
Only one team was happy with the scoreline. And it sure wasn't Liverpool.
Stop Wumming.
It's also the fact that his teams are like warriors fighting for everything and dont just lay down and allow the opposition an easy time in possession of the ball like say us under Mourinho against the big sides, even at the very end of the game saul was in liverpool's half slide blocking a liverpool pass forwards.
Costa to score at Anfield and silence all the scousers.
Surely they will spend the next three weeks getting Diego Costa match fit? He is a certain starter imo as is Trippier if he will be fit in time. Both know what Anfield is about.
He's not a hardman, but i'm sure he'd happily knock Robertson down a peg or two. Little scottish twat
My answer is the same, job done by Simeone. For you, the goal was not losing. Now it's risky.
If you go through it will likely be because you're the better team(or maybe they'll have another meltdown like last year). This is the kind of result they needed to take to anfield and have good chances of going through
Set pieces will be the key for you imho
That can't be true
Only ever knocked out of Europe*
Theyve been knocked out 4 times by Real, once by Juve. They were knocked out in the group stages in 17/18 but then won the Europa!
No Ronaldo no KO....
Rode their luck tonight but Atletico are masters at still being able to pinch a goal despite having limited possesion in knock out ties. Liverpool needed a goal in the away leg simple as that.
Last English club to knock them out over two legs in either european competition remains Bolton Wanderers in March 2008.

Salah shredded them all night, they couldn't cope with him at all. Really rode their luck in this one
Then again, that's also a somewhat normal atletico performance
