Post Match: Liverpool v Athetico Madrid (UCL 17/9/25 8pm)

Yeah I’m not understanding it at all.

He has looked a bit crap so far but not tonight.

He was steady for me but I don’t see really good.

Agreed, very silky. Excellent close control, set up multiple counters and a couple of chances on a plate for others. Some people just want to be miserable and complain no matter what. Wirtz is gonna be a lightning rod for that seeing as he cost as much as he did.

Heaven forfend that anyone should have to deal with this place if Isak doesn’t score in the next week or two. Some of the curmudgeons on here would be beyond insufferable.

Hugo was in a better position. It was fair enough for Wirtz to let Ekitike to make the shot.

Apart from conceding 2 goals, I thought we were head and shoulders above them and far more positives than negatives.

We created lots of good chances and just needed better quality with the final pass or finish, the understanding looked far better and at times some scintillating passages of play without the end product.

When we put all aspects together we are going to batter someone.

BTW Isak looked class.

Although, all we can send on as subs are an Argentine International, Hungarian International, Irish International, French International and a 17 year old Under 19 international

Some of his close control was sensational. Our most impressive player in tight spaces that I can remember.

Brilliant result today against a tough team and with a nutter as their manager. BP inducing excitement.

I don’t disagree.

Did Simeone get sent off for being a knob and if so why isn’t he sent off every weekend?

What was Simeone expecting though? Ofcourse fans will celebrate. Did it cross a line? Very much doubt it.

I swear 95% of strikers would have missed that same chance. It bounced in a horrible way at an unreal pace. Salah was to blame.

I disagree and so did McCoist it was perfect for a left volley.

Eh because a football bounces.

don’t be silly - it bobbled massively at close range.

Salah much better, Gravenburch excellent so was Szoboszlai, Wirtz is coming and Isak will be a great baller for us. Nice win.

Getting a habit with these late winners but who cares as long as we come out on top. So much to work on before we see this squad develop into the awesome team we all expect but there were moments when we saw the beginnings. Bring on the Toffees

Why is it Salah fault.

The pass had too much pace on it. Needed to be softer and more precise along the floor.

He was having discussions with the crowd.

Simeone is a idiot for responding to the crowd. That’s rule #1 broken.

Anyway hopefully this is the last time we see his shithouses in the CL. One benefit of the new group system.
