Jesus some of the fouls this ref has given is pathetic. I know the European ref are a bit less lenient than British refs but jesus christ, tackling and physicality really is dying out. Atletico what a team though. Contrasting style or not, big games they are always at it.

Schalke will hardly be the indicator for that. 

not so much basing it off this result

obviously Schalke are BY FAR the worst CL team left, one of the worst round of 16 teams in the last 10 years

but Shitty are simply devastating and deep

now that Juve are in trouble

I probably will slide them up to favourites

just above AM, Barca, PSG

still think Juve may pull a shocker comeback

should be interesting

AM is incredibly disciplined though

and have the best MF in the world IMHO

also, the player on Shitty that I truly rate as almost Alonso bad (Otamendi, MASSIVE fraud) burnt them tonight

 

so hard to take all EPL teams serious when SHIT like Alonso and Otamendi make first team

It reminds me of the good old Chelsea days. 

Not pretty but efficient and always give 110%.

Id expect more Chelsea fans being lowkey fans of Atletico considering the similarities.

cannot go there until he wins the CL

its why Messi and CR7 cannot be greatest without a WC

I never bend those rules of thumb

I guess, but he was 25 seconds and a penalty shootout away from being a 2x CL winner, I know you kinda have to get over the line but it dosen't lessen his quality as a manager for me. Especially when you consider he is managing a club that no one expected to be competing for the CL

Here is a dream

Simeone wins it this year

Ratcliffe buys us

Hires Simeone

liquidates all the dross

Simeone would toss a bish like Alonso or Willian through a window:wub:

Simeone is the best coach in world football, it isn't even close

Think in terms of the motivational side of things, he is most definitely is, yes. Never seen a big game were they've not been up for it under him. In terms of quality they can lack at times but they function very well as a team and dont do anything that is considered reinventing the wheel so to speak. I look at Griezmann, Costa, Koke, Saul, Rodri.. all excellent players in their own right but they roll their socks up and give 100%. No doubts about it, with limited resources in terms of finances, Simeone has done an outstanding job and just needs a CL to top it off.

Almost all his players would run through a minefield for him.:wub:
