Yeah but don't forget Atalanta always put in way more effort against Liverpool.If Atalanta want to beat Arsenal they'll have to play much better than that

Definitely doesn't look like it, does it? We also got massively shit on and finished dead last in our group. English teams aren't as good as they fancy themselves. With the exception of City, that is.Foreign leagues are championship standard
Of they could do easily come back. I actually think they probably willLiverpool beat Atlanta 5-0 on their last away visit and 3-0 half time leads sometimes isn't enough to beat Liverpool in Europe.
Leverkusen 32 shots - West Ham 1. 72% possession too. Are West Ham United in disguise?
I was late to the party, only caught the last 20 minutes of the Benfica - Marseille match. How was Joao Neves?
They definitely can go all the way.Finally... so deserved for Leverkusen
Just remembered your post and checked the stats... West Ham had 4 crosses in the whole match, none found their target (Leverkusen had 22 crosses/10 successful).Perhaps he should revert to the old crossball in the second half.
Feck me, that Fulham episode with Moyes was really embarrassing.
All of the PL is just meh right now. City are nothing special. They got their asses handed to them at Anfield. It was a miracle they escaped with a draw. And arsenal took 4 points off them this season. City are not that much better than these two.Definitely doesn't look like it, does it?

As told - with England had 8 teams - Germany 7, so the points of today get divided by 7 for Germany and by 8 for EnglandI think Leverkusen winning means Villa are single handedly keeping us above Germany in the race for the 2 bonus Champions League places

I think Klopp threw the game with his starting 11. That just showed zero ambition. They could do better in Italy.Premier league title contender being rinsed at home against Italy's number 6. Fair to say the premier league is closer to the Championship than to the Serie A

Liverpool are no where near Arsenal/City, it will be a miracle if they end up winning the league.And if Liverpool don't come back they'll see this exit as a blessing in disguise for the Premier League race
This is the schedule if they go through.
May 2nd - Europa league semi final 1st leg
May 5th Tottenham (A)
May 9th Europa league semi final 2nd
leg
May 13th Aston Villa (A)
And it will also help if Man City and Arsenal progress to the Champions league semi finals.
I highly doubt that, if it was Anfield maybe.Atalanta have to remain focused in 2nd leg otherwise I can see Liverpool making a comeback easily.
Liverpool can win 0-5I highly doubt that, if it was Anfield maybe.
Yet they are on course for a 90+ point season and are favourites to knock out Real and reach a Champions League semiAll of the PL is just meh right now. City are nothing special.

Liverpool are at home to Spurs. The interesting thing is after Palace, Liverpool have 4 away games in a row, Atalanta, Fulham, Everton, West Ham.And if Liverpool don't come back they'll see this exit as a blessing in disguise for the Premier League race

If they put up that kind of defensive performance again they'll be good. You'd have to think at home they'll do it at that score.Atalanta have to remain focused in 2nd leg otherwise I can see Liverpool making a comeback easily.
So are Liverpool and Arsenal. That was my point. None of them is head and shoulders above the others.Yet they are on course for a 90+ point season and are favourites to knock out Real and reach a Champions League semi
If Liverpool put up the same kind of defensive performance then it wouldn't matter if Atalanta play with 9. I mean look at their second and especially the third goal. That was some Germany v Brazil 2014 shit.If they put up that kind of defensive performance again they'll be good. You'd have to think at home they'll do it at that score.
As united not getting 5th, I couldn't care less if any English team win a single game in europe.Damn, this evening was a huge hit for England in a race for extra CL spot.
When is Allison back? Kelleher didn't cover himself in glory.If Liverpool put up the same kind of defensive performance then it wouldn't matter if Atalanta play with 9. I mean look at their second and especially the third goal. That was some Germany v Brazil 2014 shit.
Yeah he's done really well.I can't wrap my head around how good Roma have been since De Rossi took over
No chance.Atalanta have to remain focused in 2nd leg otherwise I can see Liverpool making a comeback easily.
Will be no miracle look at the table and the run-ins for all three clubsLiverpool are no where near Arsenal/City, it will be a miracle if they end up winning the league.
Not at all. They won 5-0 away to them a few years back. One early goal and Atalanta will buckle.No chance.
Overturning a 3-0 deficit away from home would trump the time they did it against Barcelona.
Covid year in an empty stadium and they were actually quite good at the time.Not at all. They won 5-0 away to them a few years back. One early goal and Atalanta will buckle.
at least you played your part admirably tonight pal...
Their last good performance in the league was in the end of Feb. They've been insanely lucky since then and the results are starting to catch up to their overall performances. Play the way they did today they drop points to most teams in the league regardless of opposition.Will be no miracle look at the table and the run-ins for all three clubs
The highlights gave the impression that WHU took a bit of a battering.it's going to sound odd looking at the stats but I really didn't think much of Leverkusen.
Looked like we were going to take a 0-0, or at the very worst 0-1, back to Stratford with less than ten minutes to go. The second goal has probably killed the tie.
Think they'd struggle for top 4 in the PL if they were subjected to PL style physicality on a consistent basis.
33-1 shots. But the truth also is that West Ham did a really good job defending for most of the game. The problem with this is that Leverkusen feels no urgency to force goals. They know they will tire defenders, they know they can bring fresh players from the bench. WHU couldn't react and everybody knew it. So Leverkusen had no need to take risks by going into physical battles.The highlights gave the impression that WHU took a bit of a battering.
They had lots of shots but nothing requiring a superb goalkeeping performance. It felt as though they'd run out of ideas for much of the second half. Late subs changed it.The highlights gave the impression that WHU took a bit of a battering.
West Ham was lucky that it was still 0-0 after 80 minutes. When half of the game happens in your own third, it is only a matter of time until the ball finds its way into the net. And we also had a couple of big chances which didn't go in, like Schick's header (which Fabianski saved superbly by the way) or the triple chance after a corner that required two clearances when Fabianski was already beaten.They had lots of shots but nothing requiring a superb goalkeeping performance.
