First mistake Evra instead Asamoah,second Llorente in the second half(until substitution) and not Morata and doing nothing when they allowed you to do.
Oh my fucking Jesus Christ we're not west FUCKING ham, since when was it acceptable for us or any other club not scrapping in mid-table to have strikers 'harrassing' and 'occupying' defenders and doing nothing else
If we want somebody to give defenders a hard time let's sign some 7 foot 300 pounders to stand infront of opposition CBs all day at least they won't back into them and sit on their ass looking for a foul.
So what? The vast majority of those were at 0-0 where the fouls suited us just fine. You did realise Allegri's plan was to control the game and take a point right? Atleti were set up to be hard to break down, as they always are, and be dangerous with crosses when they could. There wasn't much we could do. If we took more risks going forward and afforded them better counter attacking opportunities that would've been a poor tactical decision, simple as that.

You're damn right i'm fucking mad when people think one of our 2 strikers playing a game of fouls with the oppositon CBs is not only not criticised but PRAISED.

You're missing the point. Llorente occupied their defenders, won headers and free kicks for us, but for the most part was ineffective in attack. He gets bashed. Tevez does absolutely nothing all game long except for give the ball away. He doesn't get bashed. Wait what?

I'm not even angry, I think I have a crush on Atleti! They played exactly as I expected, with a lot of fouls and giving us 0 cm space. Juve had zero (000000) shots on goal, where is Zach to defend the stupid 3-5-2.
