Match Thread Atletico Madrid (H) - CL - Wed 17th Sept 20:00

[Bradley]

Promising debut for Isak.

 

[Fabio]

Decent performance from Isak. Did well, but barely got a sniff

 

[Mystic]

If Wirtz' passing was half as good as his first touch he'd have some assists today.

His probing passing is just slightly off at the moment, it's frustrating, but I think it'll come soon.

 

[Mystic]

Wirtz on the left?

 

[Fabio]

Wirtz wide?

 

[Woland]

Strong Akabusi energy from Frimpong. He's an Akabusian young lad.

 

[dee]

So Wirtz on the left

 

[Bradley]

Wirtz on the left?

Keeping it warm until Rio comes on in 10 minutes.

 

[dee]

Ekitike love is strong in this house

 

[Modo]

Who said that Wirtz won't play on the left wing?

 

[Fabio]

Ekitikes ability to just keep hold of the ball under immense pressure is brilliant

 

[Fabio]

Who said that Wirtz won't play on the left wing?

Me. And I'm kind of annoyed that he's been iffy enough to justify trying him there.

 

[Farkmaster]

Ekitikes ability to just keep hold of the ball under immense pressure is brilliant

Yes, I wish he was not having to drop too deep to do it though.

 

[Barnie78]

The new players don't feel the connections, they needs more time...

 

[Shay_K]

They've got a big lad up front now so long and high from AM

 

[Farkmaster]

The new players don't feel the connections, they needs more time...

Wirtz is trying to do the right thing and the players he's passing to understand what he's trying to do. He's just rushing and fucking it up.

 

[Gerry_A_Trick]

Rio warming up

 

[Shay_K]

Mo

Should have buried that one

 

[dee]

Mo hits the post. Brilliant move’

 

[Mystic]

Salah has just robbed Wirtz of an assist.

 

[Modo]

Fucking Nunez!!!

Oops, force of habit

 

[Farkmaster]

That should have been a goal and Wirtz was brilliant at the beginning.

 

[Gerry_A_Trick]

Really need to put this game to bed soon.

 

[Fabio]

Wirtz and szob getting in each others way

 

[Shay_K]

COME ON YOU RED MEN

 

[Fabio]

Hopefully that wakes the crowd up
