United after the first leg however is fine as it will get moved to Sunday anyway due to them in Europa. Nope. Liverpool play on Feb 16 and Mar 10.

So, that game at Liverpool will be postponed if one or both of us reach the last 8. Also if United reach the League Cup final, then that game on Feb 28 will be postponed.

Yea, it's likely the Liverpool game won't be on that date which would be good. Also wouldn't mind the United game being moved so the team can focus fully on beating Atletico that week and not have to worry about another big game a few days later. Then again, if we progress in the CL and both Man Utd, Liverpool games get pushed back the schedule will be even more ridiculous later on.

R2D2 368 Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 Dunno why people are pessimist against Atletico, I saw their matches against Salzburg and Lokomotive, they can barely score goals, sure it will be hard to crack them down but I've no doubt if Ziyech, Pulisic and Werner are fit we will be up for it. Think we will qualify. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But either way, the tie will be good learning curve for this team and their development. If we can get past Atletico, it'd give the players confidence for the quarter finals etc. I think we can take these fuckers out, especially if they have injuries José Giménez has missed more games than he has played so far (is out atm as well) although some of that was COVID-19 at the beginning without him they are down to only 3 CB's on the roster they also, atm, have zero backups LB's (Saul as an emergency one) they have no true DMF's at all, unless you count the cuntish dwarf on loan from Arsenal, Lucas Torreira, who I think we can overrun if he plays there strong as hell at CMF but again, zero AMF's on the roster they also have zero backup RWers, so would have to pay the bust Thomas Lemar or Vitolo there if Correa cannot have a go SS and CF they are loaded Felix and Suarez and Marcos Llorente (the huge wild card, if he is on and playing great they are almost unbeatable, ask Victimpool) all can do mad damage (Diego Costa is out injured yet again) key to stopping them is to contain Saul, Felix, and Suarez if José Giménez is healthy, their defence is world class as well killer1257 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbluewillie 1,930 Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 The hardest draw of the lot, it had to be I suppose. I don't think we are capable of beating them this season, even with their injury list, oh and ours of course. But Atleti hold the voodoo over us just like Everton.

bigbluewillie 1,930 Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Now with Tommy in charge I feel a whole lot more confident we can get a result against Atleti. Not that I disliked Frank but I think the ECL was a bit to far for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NikkiCFC 8,319 Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 (edited) Is this really true? Portugal has just around 300 Covid cases per day. And oh the irony... We could not play in Spain against Atletico but now we may 😆 Edited March 30, 2021 by NikkiCFC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
