Elampiro, Simeone set up to limit the attacking influence of Robertson and Arnold and the resultant effect was fewer chances created.

Mane, Firmino and Salah played up front...

afrodoc2:


Mctominay, Fred, Fernandes would be a decent midfield.
The subs however would be problematic.

chrisley024:
Fred is not that creative, so his best position is DM, Matic position. Another more creative CM to have a Tom/the new CM - Fred - Bruno, depending on the opponent. Now, since most of our opponents will park the bus, we use the more creative CM in place of Tom.

This is assuming Ole prefers 3 CM

Leyqute:


No, I didn’t. He didn’t do much in the first half. Got some balls and ran into walls.

A player can have a game of 2 halves. Doesn’t mean he’s horrible in that game.

Don’t know why that is hard to grasp.

GloryIsaac:


Good thing that Bruno is here, finally, all those bus-parking teams will have a serious problem with containing his shots at goal from distance.

BikeMan:
You don misyarn as usual Ekute, don't stress it.

They just need to step on his ankle.

Am happy u saw that game plan by Simeone...

Arnold and Roberson were limited,... Those front 3 cudnt deliver

If the wings were clipped, was the midfield also clipped?

Liverpool midfielders had chances.. Henderson shot the ball from inside the box

Expert17:


Those 2 are more important than their midfield combined

elampiro:


Arnold's Assists are majorly from corner kicks. Liverpool met a team that can defend those set plays perfectly.

elampiro:
When Messi, Neymar and Suarez failed to score in Atletico 2-0 win over Barca in 2016, I guess it because Athletico Madrid clipped Dani Alves who was the most important player in Barca.

Athelico Madrid on a good day can hold their own even if Messi and Ronaldo were in the opposition team.

obainojazz:
You missing the point... Athletico will try to stop Messi and Ronaldo (almost impossible).... But you could see the great deal they put in to stop the wingbacks. Man Utd did same against Liverpool... Salah that you said creates chances gets marked out by ordinary Young

Why so evil? If someone had stepped on your own ankle like that, would you have been able to develop that powerful kick that enabled you become such a good swimmer?

airmark:


Ankle injury can get treated after a period, and the player returns to the pitch, you dimwit.

Typical scummy, no brain.

sylvalord:
But there is always the risk of the player not being able to play well because his fear of the injury reoccurring has dampened his confidence. Kind of the same way you are not able to think well because all that swimming in the ocean has dampened your brain.

airmark:


Nothing like not playing well after the return. If you are ignorant of something dont force it, you will sound more stupid.

Players can recover completely from an ankle injury if not rushed. It hardly stops a player's career if no relapse occurs.

Stop disgracing yourself believing crap that i swam from Lagos to America.

It's your stupid type that believed the story of how a ball turned to a Lion, against Peter Rufai, when India played Nigeria.
