lmao @ the Llorente bashing in this thread. At least he occupied their defenders and tried unlike Tevez who was awful.

i counted at least 7 fouls he won for dive letico madrid.

he was their extra man

Also lmao @ people freaking out and calling this a terrible performance. We played against the best defensive team in world football.

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.

And what when we play against teams with better attack than Atletico?

Conte is stubborn but Alegri was afraid.

Hey

the only thing Max fears is what Max is capable of

 

[Pirlo's Beard]

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.

U mad.

 

[Pirlo's Beard]

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.

I don't understand your question bud.

Nice to see @JCK at the stadium.

That wasn't me, it was my fans aka my depression therapy group.

You are right about this .I must remember this one ."Capable of..." what?

 

[j0ker]

They also have worse defense, and actually let you have a chance or two.

 

[Dostoevsky]

Poll is up.

No idea who to vote for. None of our players stood out, they were all bad.

Lucky your fans were just taking in the atmosphere and enjoying the sights of the game, too bad they can't decipher football tactics though.

Unless they're due to injury, substitutions in the 89th minute have to be the dumbest thing in world football.

Oh my $#@!ing Jesus Christ we're not west $#@!ING 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

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?

You're damn right i'm $#@!ing 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.

Defending someone and praising them are two different things dude.

 

[Tevez10]

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.

 

[Ocelot]

Voted Asamoah.
