Post Match CL Atletico Madrid (H) 3-2 17th Sept 20:00

Sitting in the Swiss Air lounge at Heathrow on my way back to Shanghai it's lovely to reflect on the game and read reviews and comments.

Despite the 2 goals conceded that was a really enjoyable performance from front to back. Some really special interplay.

Isak showed us how much is to come. He is going to be a monster.

I also liked what I saw from Bradley and Frimpong (who is insanely fast - on one occasion giving his man 5-7m and catching him with ease).

And Mo. isn't dead just yet. Cracking goal and Gravy assist (not just sitting this season).

Simeone looks like he's been dipped in honey and then dunked in a bucket of pubes. The fucking pubey pube headed fucking pubey melt.

Is that what you said to him when Virgil scored? He said in the press conference that he couldn't remember the exact nature of the insults, but you can't blame him for not saying "This scouse cunt called me a fucking pubey pube headed fucking pubey melt"

He also said he gets it "every match".

So it makes sense.

A minor quibble or two, but Bradley’s making some needless yellow-card risky fouls here and there as a developing habit….and what is out of form Macca doing turning his back on that shot with his leg out?

Beyond that, another heart thumping win and Grav stamping his class all over another big game.

I think Bradley was shit, and fault for the equaliser. Frimpong was one of our better players yesterday.

I read somewhere that Leverkusen had something like 20+ last minute winners in their 23/24 season? Is that right?

I know we have form but perhaps the arrival of Frimpong and Wirtz has amped it up to the max.

 

[Holle]

Any decent highlight clips out there?

I don’t think he was ‘shit’ but he does seem to get an easy ride on post match forum chat. He’s been energetic but sloppy so far this season.

Raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaatings time.

Ali - 6 (did well on crosses but can't really score higher as I can't remember a save he had to make and he was dead slow to release the ball when the quick break was on)

Frim - 7
Ibou - 8 (the big man doesn't get enough credit)
Virg - 8.5 MOTM
Robbo - 6.5 (no idea what he was doing for their first and he was an easy target for them)

Grav - 8
Dom - 7.5
Flo - 7

Mo - 7.5
Isak - 7
Gakpo - 6

Bradley - shite
Mac - shite
Hugo - shite
Rio - Did ok, Atleti did their homework and doubled up on him.

It's just my lazy way of saying that he wasn't that good.
Stupid yellow and fault for the goal.

Bradley didn't play very well and he was definitely at fault for their goal, but I am yet to be overly impressed with Frimpong either at the moment.

Frimpong is doing the basic fullback stuff well. No complaints so far.

Frimpong is just so damn quick…it gives a sense of security knowing he can make up five yards in a flash even if he’s beaten or out of position. He’s also not (so far) one for needless fouls, probably because of his get out of jail pace.
