La Liga Round 19: Barca - Atletico 3-1

[Richard.H]

Simeone completely fucked up the first half. Why would you start with one striker vs Barca? Basically had no threat. Usually Sorlorth destroyed us. Now Alvarez had to do too much and it killed them, especially first half.

Not even that really, no one was there to support him and they sorta played a little scared. Weird considering we have a much weaker squad (with the injuries) than last season.

The fucking state of Griezmann.

Looks like one of the lost boys from Hook.

Exactly. He took way too conservative approach. Probably because the past but in our current moment it's the best to just press us and put us in a tough spot. Today we had no pressure. Even other LaLiga minions put us in tougher spots. That's why I was so shocked by his approach. He could easily won this game with a bit of pressure in the first half.

Not only 3-1 win but also nearly 4xg, need to watch highlights but this sounds like peak Hansi football

I was a little surprised how timid ATM played. Thought they would attack more. Weird tactics by Simeone. They did far more counters last season. Perhaps they were much better last season.

Me too, I thought for sure they would target martin after the yellow, but they barely tried to open up

AM haven't won on CN for almost 20 years. Dayum...

They won less than 12 months ago at Camp Nou.

Montjuic hehe.

Simeone just said he was happy with his team performance and I see this as a compliment for Barca.

Also agreed with him that 3-1 is tad exaggerated. They did have few chances that should go in.

 

[JamDav1982]

At the end maybe but Barca were very dominant up until then and clearly better side in the game.

 

[serghei]

Draw was obtainable for them but the win is deserved.

 

[JamDav1982]

That Almada chance was a big miss to be fair but Barca had multiple of those.

Which one besides Oblak save of Lewa header?

Penalty.

Raphinhas miss.

 

[MonteCuler]

Yamal also had a pretty good chance after Gimenez gifted him the ball, very poor shot but it wasn't so hard position should have scored

We clearly deserved to win. And yes if they converted all their chances they would have drew or maybe even won. But if we did we surely would have scored more than 3

 

[jamrock]

We deserved to win. They didn't push for a win even when we have 2 CBs that are young and inexperienced with one sitting on a yellow.

Fuck them.
