Atletico set to be without €126million man for Reds visit
Atletico Madrid are set to be without young starlet Joao Felix for the visit of Liverpool in the Champions League tomorrow.

The £126million summer signing has not played for over three weeks after suffering a muscle problem, but looked to be in contention to return against Liverpool.

But Goal report the 20-year-old has now contracted the virus pharyngotonsillitis, which will keep him sidelined.

 

I'm even more psyched up for this match than usual. I've forgotten what a match with real jeopardy feels like

 

FFS

 

A score draw is not going to be a bad result, we can finish the job at Anfield.

 

Alisson
TAA Gomez VVD Robbo
Fabinho
Hendo Wijnaldum
Salah Bobby Mane​

 

Yep....full strength tonight

Looking forward to this one....

 

They might not be the team they were a couple of years ago but they will be a tough challenge. We need to be on top form for this one

 

Think this may be a war of attrition and not a fun watch .Really hope we get an away goal .

 

They are a good defensive unit but need a goal and will probably look to be clinical with the few chances they have. Klopp will have done his homework and will have us ready for them. Can't wait.

Atletico Madrid vs Liverpool, Tuesday 8pm
This is a cracking tie. You could see at the weekend that the efficient Liverpool was there again. They were very classy at times, and other times they got the balance and grind right where they can take the sting out of the game. They were not quite as clinical but just wanted to get the job done.


I am finding it tough to pick the Player of the Year this season. My early tip was Sadio Mane. You could see the boost it gave them coming off the bench on Saturday, and no other player in his side could have scored that. His movement and agility allowed him to do that. Others would have been more vigilant of what was happening off the ball. Do all the players have to be from Liverpool? I have mentioned others, but it is the greatness of where they are.
Atletico Madrid are nowhere near the team they were. Despite Diego Simeone still being in charge, the goalscoring, commitment and quality have all dipped. They have lost the likes of Diego Godin and the authority he brought to the team. They do have the same aggression, but they are struggling in La Liga. In all honesty, the two giants Barcelona and Real Madrid have been average, which tells you everything. Atletico have drawn 10 of 24 games, which is simply not good enough. Diego Costa has dried up in front of goal, while Alvaro Morata has gone cold once again.

This is the game where Simeone will roll his sleeves up and warn his players of reputation; the reputation of turning over the future Premier League champions, but this is an awkward tie for Liverpool. Atletico's personality is awkward, but I am going to go for Liverpool to get a draw. It will be brutal but it will be a great result for Liverpool going back to Anfield.

CHARLIE PREDICTS: 0-0

 

Liverpool: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Gomez, Van Dijk, Robertson, Fabinho, Henderson, Wijnaldum, Mane, Salah, Firmino.

Subs: Adrian, Milner, Keita, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Minamino, Origi, Matip.

 

As expected.

 

Yep

 

Camel Bob's got beard oil on, the ****ing faggot

 

Hope Dortmund put PSG out

 

I was a lot more worried about this tie when the draw was made than I am now. Yes Atletico ha ve the potential to make tonight extremely frustrating but on current form a comfortable away win is by no means out of the question.
