Atlético Madrid

[Slevinn]

Augusto out for 2 months with partial tear of ligament in his knee, according to Marca.

They will miss Godin a lot but they have enough players for central midfield. I hope Simeone puts Koke in a central position and give Torres a starting position on the wing.

 

[El Flaco]

Why did they do that though? Surely if they were going to lose anyway why not take the risk and see if you can level?

It seems Simeone is convinced that it's impossible to score more than 1 goal against us, which is far from true.

I mean, lesser teams Atlético Madrid like Athletic Bilbao, Sevilla and Celta Vigo manage to score 4 goals against us.

Let's face it: Our defence isn't as good as some may think, we've seen many times how shaky it can be when our defence is tested.

I might exaggregate, but I think almost every La Liga team would be able to score 2 goals against us if they actually tried to play football.

Nah, there's not a chance in hell Atletico could've kept up that level of tenacity. They were bound to sit back sooner or later.

I never said Atlético should go all in for 90 minutes.

They could've sit back and defend after having a comfortable lead.

So two injuries and 2 red cards? Good...good...

 

[diegomessi]

They not only lost to us, but probably lost their chance at second with the red cards and injuries. Very costly match...

Very true but even as an atheist I wholeheartedly believe you reap what you sow

Common sense, no? Or logic.

I'm just enjoying that Atletico have to play against Eibar with a defence of - Jesus Gamez; Savic; Gimenez; and they sold Siqueira so someone as a LB.

 

[Jamie Cal]

Yoooo, they've sold Jackson to that Chinese club for 42 million. I'm in tears.

It's a good move for Atleti but absolutely awful timing. Why not do it a week earlier and give yourself time to get someone? Or at the very least bring back Baston.

 

[El Flaco]

I'm curious to how long will be Filipe Luis ban for that tackle on Messi.

Filipe Luís is suspended for three games.

 

[ThwiX]

Stefan Savic injured now too. Good old karma. That will an interesting defence in their next game.

From the news you read, did it also said how long time he'll be out?

 

[Cule4life]

Gamez will play at CB i think

 

[El Flaco]

Atletico will appeal Filipe Luis' ban for his challenge on Messi

It's standard procedure. They'll probably lower it to 2 games.

Could play Lucas, although him and Gimenez is a bit of a gamble.

 

[barcafan161]

3 games could of been more.
