Atletico need to change their kick outs.

Liverpool have this infuriating knack of just being in the right place at the right time. They're constantly seeing the ball fall to them from deflections.

Can't see Atleitco holding out like this, need to get a bit of possession in midfield and exploit Liverpool's spaces out wide

Been disappointed with the Dortmund-PSG match. PSG away in the CL is usually an average side that doesn't feel like a team but more like individuals with some of them being very good at football. Quality aside there has just been a lot of diving and feigning injuries from both sides. None of the fouls have even been bad but you see them rolling on the ground and magically be fine a second after the camera cuts away from their close-up.

Whoever is Atletico's right back/midfielder really needs to tighten up against Robertson. Acres of space in that area.

Simeone has done wonders but at this stage he has the players to be playing much better than this. Koke and Saul are far better footballers than they are being made to look in this system. I'd honestly be interested to see what a more attacking coach could do.

Altetico need Costa back. Morata is so shite. His hold up play is non-existent and he is barely moving off the ball.

Was just thinking this, if this is your play style then you need a Drogba/Costa type. Morata is the last type of striker for this system.
