Their midfield is one of their biggest problems they have.

Simeone for some reason has to have Gabi-Tiago in the midfield no matter how badly they have performed this season.

And the use of Flanking Midfielders/Wingers doesn't seem to be working anymore. Koke has been struggling for awhile now and Oliver Torres doesn't even remotely Fit that role at all and that's where they miss Arda While it's true he runs himself to the ground every match he plays for Atletico, but man he fit the Flanking midfielder role very well.

Definitely. Though, Tiago has been pretty good lately, they come off as gutless to me at times. This was to be the year Koke played in the middle and they still haven't done it. Jackson Martinez not exactly clicking is an odd one too, but anything is better than El Nino. He's an easy target, but good lord has he been terrible every time I see him.

I'd rather say both Tiago and Gabi have both been quality for Atlético of this season so far. I guess you haven't forgot his crucial goal against Deportivo or his winning cross to Griezmann against Sporting Gijón last week. As for Gabi, he's defended a lot so it's understandable why he isn't going forward often but his passing is still good.

Koke's coming back from an injury he'd. And Regarding Óli, he's good enough to play for Atleti. The thing is that he's been used as a central 10 position before, give him more time to adapt his new role.

Forgot about Saul, They also have Kranevitter coming in January as well.

With Tiago out for the Season those two will easily get some Minutes.

Yeah, Kranevitter is a great talent (at least according from people who actually follow him).

But he need time to adapt...

Marca saying they want someone in January to replace him, possibly Toulalon. They already have Mensah, Saul and Kranevitter, though.

After Atleti's victory against Granada yesterday, they're 2nd with 32 points, only 2 points behind us.

We can't afford to drop points, don't think anyone want to see them become 1st place.

Luckily, they will play a tough game against Málaga at La Rosaleda in this month.

I think Atleti won't be able to take 3 points from them.

if spot on, atletico can beat any team, i think they are pumped up and will smash malaga to keep up with the 2 biggos

They may not be playing at their best this season (yet) but they're getting the results and their defense is perfect. Only 1 goal conceded in 5 games. They are having consecutive winning games.
