Perfectly put.

But I think that team was tactically astute too. You also have to take into the fact the change that has crept into the game. "High Press" is the hip thing to do. A lot of teams like to play that way now. But if there was a game between chelsea (07-09) vs ATM (2013 or current), I would say we would be the favourites. 

Chelsea (04-06) was a lot similar in quality to ATM too. I think Essien and ballack are making me tip over to chelsea.

Chelsea (04-06) will defeat this atletico...in terms of quality that chelsea side is way better

When we play defensive physical football, the world labels us "anti-football"
When Atletico play defensive physical football, the world applauds and hails their spirit and character.

It's the tactics dictated by the scoreline.
What would you say about Barcelona during the spell it was 0-0 ?

Interesting. I've heard quite a few people comment on how Atletico doesn't bother playing and just want to tackle the opposition.

Imagine Terry becoming our manager, and against all odds, guiding us through our best period ever. Imagine us dominating every team we face, with our poster boy at the helm. We'd laugh at stories suggesting he'd leave us for another top team, right? What would be the point?

 This is what people are doing with Simeone. It literally boggles the mind why he would leave. He can only go down from here really if he leaves.

That Lverpool team is the epitome of mediocrity .  I have seldom seen a team hat consists exclusively of perfectly average players from goalie to cf. Oh yeah I forgot, Coutinho is world class because he is better than Oscar, right? 

 

Think about what they invested in that team. 300m? Rival our recent signings

"Anfield - the stadium that scores goals" was the headline from a major German paper today. More like the stadium that wastes 20 half chances. Some of the worst finishing ever seen here today whilst Dortmund score 2 goals from 3 chances. Brilliant counter attacking performance from them so far.

Crazy isn't it (at the bolded)? Nail. Head. 

And what's funny is that Klopp has soooo much work to do, but I feel like the fans really expect him to launch Liverpool into Top-4 place next season with the majority of this squad as is.

Klopp is actually doing miraculous work there, having them got where they are now at all, with the injuries they got and the lack of cover and quality. At least he has them playing decent football, pressing, chances and stuff. All worth nothing so far ofc.
