Stupid penalty by Atleti to concede hahaha
Champions League 2022/23 - Matchday 3 - 4/5 October
- Thread starter TheGame
- Start date
It’s Hermoso 
Sensational from Napoli. Anguissa, Lobotka and Zielinski ran the show. Now, to the RAWK thread!
Your squad depth is ridiculous. Will the two Ajax lads get much of a chance this season?
Important game for us. It's our preseason for most of the walking wounded: Matip, Thiago, Jota, Nunez, Melo (you know what I mean).
Can't wait for the next game. To not see Gomez and Milner even in the squad is like Utd fans not seeing Maguire and McFred. Yes it's that blatant.

dippersWebsite where you “blend” two faces. Klopp and Nunez…
Atletico
Fowler looks like he’s morphing into the “I don’t believe it…” Crystanbul guy
Arteta (checks possession stats): "Liverpool should've won."
Oof Oblak couldn't keep it out. Too bad he's no Hendo.
Porto are jammer then atlético
Well you guys had the last laugh.
Hahahaha feck off Atletico.
Robbie Fowler is looking more like the ‘I don’t believe it’ guy from the infamous Crystal Palace game every time i see him.
Let himself go a bit hasnt he
Why swing your arm at the ball like that. Throw a leg at it, never getting away with that
What a moron they had a 4 against 3 counter and he decides to dribble into a defender.
Just said the same thing!!!
If I were a middle-aged real estate mogul I would too.
Micheal Owen chats so much shit! Still can’t believe he played for UTD. Hate this prick!
Atletico
Score then conceded and then score the winner all in injury time.

Oh come on. I hate Atletico so much.
Griezmann wins it, glad i changed to this for the list 15 minutes
Always astounds me as just how bad decision making can be at an elite level still. It frustrates me in my Sunday league team when people go selfish at times like that, let alone the fecking champions league
3 goals in additional time wow
Fowler looks like shit the prick
What’s he saying?
Playing such a high line when VVD has lost a yard or two of pace, is not a good idea. Especially with Gomez as partner.
Thats just Conte ball isnt it? Cede possession, sit in those structured banks of 4 and 5, wait to counter attack. Snoozefest, but effective I guess, for all Marseilles possession did they even have one decent opportunity?
Cant argue with the results Conte ball brings but watching that week in week out would be a test of endurance.
Dagger to the heart by Griezmann there.
Also, this brilliant bit of commentary just before that goal had me giggling...
"Bodies in the area, but Llorente can't get it in!"

Especially against rapid strikers. It’s like klopp isn’t very flexible in his tactics… coming up against rashford/osihmen and he still plays high line. If they come up against psg mbappe score about 5 past them.
Napoli... 40% of the possession... 80% of the goals.
He surely watched United Arsenal (all managers would have) … you think he’d go “hmmmm… with the midfield I’ve got, better not leave gaps”? Nope.
Play deeper, get into the game for 15 mins and then see. Nope, kamikaze from the start, not helped by Old Man Milner forgetting he’s an outfield player.
Really naive. Sure media will point it out….
BT Sport focusing on the second half stats when the game was over
Just give a place in the round of 16 for Atlético already, it's like Final Destination, the cascade of luck in several areas they had during the game for them to end up winning is crazy
That pass that Anguissa played to open up the 4th goal tonight is one I’ve called the ‘Serie A pass’ for years. That first time disguised ball over the top from deep in midfield. So difficult to defend as it comes from relatively non-threatening moments, with the passer just receiving a square ball in midfield side on. I first saw Pirlo play it years ago, then noticed it was one of his specialties. Then I saw Jorginho do it a few times, notably in this assist for Tammy Abraham here:
Anguissa pulled one off today, and for some reason, it’s a pass I only see with Italian based, or educated players. Pogba pulled it off one time for us but he might even count as Italian educated. He pulled off one like it for his assist to Martial here:
It’s a great weapon, whether over the top or down the side as it transforms the pace so suddenly and I imagine centre halves can’t be set and ready all the time in relatively unthreatening situations. One of my favourite types of passes. The ability to put a striker through with one touch from anywhere on the pitch almost without warning or shaping to do so is quite brilliant.

He's so insanely talented, you could see that even at Dortmund. Just glides past opposition, hopefully he can be free of injuries to fully showcase his talents.May I present to you: Lionel Puyol
