CL: Atletico Madrid 1:1 Liverpool (FT)

Liverpool
comment on the article

A well-taken goal by Keane separated the two sides at half-time.

Riera has a yellow for diving in the penalty area (hm!), Arbeloa has one for bring one of the oppos down outside the box, and Atletico get the Century's Worst-Performing-Dive-For-A-Foul-Not-Even-Committed-In-The-Penalty-Area-Clutching-The-Chest-Like-He'd-Been-Shot-When-Not-Even-Touched Award.

Then 83 mins into the second half, Atletico had a long ball knocked past Reina by Simao.

Both sides were unlucky to have goals disallowed, Liverpool's by Benayoun.

On the whole, not a bad performance by Liverpool. The score did not reflect the effort. We got forward, but our defence was wanting a bit.

All in all, not too bad.

And my laptop battery lasted out!!!!

I thought Liverpool looked good last night and bossed 60-70% of the game. Good result against a top 5 spanish side away.

Why is that ridiculous statement on the main football page of 606?

Not only does it make little sense but makes you wonder what the people at the BBC are trying to do exactly.

Is them trying to wind Liverpool fans up by stating Atletico are not a big spanish side? Even if that were true, which it isn't as they've actually won the league more recently then us!

Even if that was true it makes no difference and has no bearing on the team that was put out last night which was packed with quality including Forlan, Aguero, Simao, Luis Garcia (in europe), Pongolle, Leo Franco, Raul Garcia and Maniche to name but a few.

Diron or BBC - whoever said this was a bad result and Atletico have not been a top side for a long time. I'm not a Liverpool fan but saw the match and thought Liverpool did pretty well. The fact that Atletico qualified for the Champions League this season ahead of the likes of Sevilla and Valencia tells us they have a good side.
To have that statement as a headline on the main BBC Sport page is completely ridiculous - come on guys - put some realistic headlines up or simply don't bother!!! doh

I agree, ridiculous quote to lead into a blog. I don't remember seeing anyone involved with Liverpool celebrating after that game....the team being applauded off for their efforts was as celebratory as it got. Even Rafa said he was disappointed that Liverpool didn't win.
What game were you watching Diron?

"Yeh I agree with the previous comments too. Only came to this thread to see who had written that ridiculous statement. Poor show BBC"

"I agree, ridiculous quote to lead into a blog."


What statement is this? I missed it when I just tucked in after reading the WUMs'. But I must raise these predictions:

"Liverpool got a little too cocky after they scored and started to try to pass the ball around like Arsenal. In the end, they were lucky not to lose! Not a fan of either team but it sure looks like: Chelsea 3 Liverpool 0."

"my prediction for chelski v pool.
2-0 chelski"

Are these really concise honest predictions or simply no-idea throwouts? Liverpool wont score at the Bridge, despite having a record for not doing so and yet scoring twice in the dreaded 2nd leg semis of the CL 2007? And did these predictors consider that Spurs gained a draw there not too long ago? Or did they simply look at one result of Boro away, 5 goals, and think 'Hmmmm, thrashing for Liverpool too'?? LFC will never get enough credit. I hpe we can prove them wrong severely come Sunday. Last season it was 0-0, I dont suppose these predictors even remembered that, much less considered it.
