ECHO Comment: "Fears of Witch-hunt Against Liverpool FC" part 3

PITA · March 12, 2020

My concern is that now that they are out of the cups they’ll give their full attention to the league. I can see them winning it now.

They want to blame Adrian - look how much room Gomez gives away on Atleti's second goal. Criminal especially when it was a 1 v 2 (with Henderson). And from the replay only four players tracked backed (Vandyke, Gomez, Henderson, Milner arrived too late). Slack.

They might win this season - but how long can Liverpool keep up this pressing style of play. We saw Dortmund completely fizzle out, because the messaging doesn't work after a while.

I love how they're crying at Atleti's tactics calling it boring, the antithesis of football and (this is the best) cowardly because they knew they couldn't match them.

They beat you in the first leg and they beat you in the second leg: I think it's you couldn't match them! Horses for courses and Herr Klopp was a pony yesterday.

Wish we had the players to hammer these up and down the field Monday night.

My bad mood this morning has been made immeasurably worse just listening to that ungracious manager of theirs.
Fancy blaming the opposition for not playing in such a manner that would allow his team to beat them.
Does he not realise what a complete oaf he is?

Blue 1 · March 12, 2020

They're gassing, as many thought they might around now, but unfortunately they have too many points chalked up already and the opposition has been pants this season.

When they went over to the ground near the end of the match on TalkSport, that Graham Beecroft goon was almost in tears. Not a word of praise for Atletico, it was just outplayed this, got lucky that, second best the other. Claimed the Liverpool players should still have 'their heads held very high indeed' and said it was a shame some fans had left early as they 'deserved' to have a full stadium applauding their performance at the end. Jeez, remind me again which team won, would you?

They had 'all the possession' and 'did everything except just manage to get the ball in the net'. So, exactly the same as City at the weekend then, when they were slaughtered by the same media for being 'found out' by United?

Honestly, it's embarrassing.

Atletico who apparently just sit deep in a low block and defend somehow managed to score 4 past the greatest defender and the greatest team of all time over 210 minutes of football and only concede 2.
