Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Atletico hold a comfortabel 2-0 lead over Real Madrid. Amazing how brilliant those teams tactics are. I wish our tactics were at least half as good. Their movement, their runs are create space where no defenders would expect it. Also they always close down the opponent with the ball with 2 players. This of course does require a lot of movement of the centre backs and in general the entire team. The Chels 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel1980 1,425 Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 LOL isn't this the third game in a row Real Madrid are losing? Milan, Valencia, and now Atletico. So much for them being unbeatable. iseah100 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DYC. 7,542 Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Bale has been pretty terrible this season. And he's downright abysmal when there's little space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm surprised at how many people still don't consider him the best manager in the world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FabHazard 655 Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Atletico's defensive organisation was superb...pressing was very good...even though they do not have possession they are very much in control...they will be very hard to beat...i can see them going far in CL didierforever 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Lover Lover 18 Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Atletico's defensive organisation was superb...pressing was very good...even though they do not have possession they are very much in control...they will be very hard to beat...i can see them going far in CL Despite losing Costa, Villa, Diego, P. Luis and Courtois they are beating RM 2-0, are equal on points with Barca in the league and just 1 point behind RM.. though Madrid have a game in hand. That Himinez is a teenager is just unbelievable, he is some defender at this stage. Simeone continues to impress and as you said i see them being semifinalist or possible finalist for the CL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illmatic 901 Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Atletico is the most competitive and most difficult team to win. I don't have doubt. didierforever 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthKorea 38 Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Bale really sucked today... Kroos is still very slow. I thought Marcelo played very well...Isco really is the spanish version of Hazard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roquila 1,335 Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Tbf Moses excells in the role oft the underdog. How often has he beaten the top Teams at goodison?Should i state the obvious didierforever 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike 12,049 Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Isco really is the spanish version of Hazard. The similarities are there, yeah. Isco is slower, less explosive, and not as effective on the flanks, tbh. Amazing player, in all respects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucio 5,418 Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 SAUL NIGUEZ!!!! what a talent!!! he does look pretty good. good tackles and headers. left footed too. probably will be a better player than mario suarez, if they play him enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

didierforever 7,349 Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Looking forward to Barca & Atleti. Should be a great game.i expect atm to get a win here. their scoring rate from set pieces is tremondous and barca's defending in set pieces in utter shit. shutting out iniesta and rakitic would be the most important thing though.

I think their defensive ability, ability to counter and also fantastic set pieces will be too much for Barca. They will outlast them. didierforever 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irakozium257 350 Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 My God, Neymar is such a joy to watch. I'm not even mad that he plays for Barca, players like him, Hazard and Ribery are those guys you just can't help but respect for having confidence when heading forward against defenders! Atletico currently being put to shame by a revamped Barca team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victor Von Doom 258 Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Barca killing Atleti.I'm telling you, Messi is the most magical player I've ever seen. Such a joy to watch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
