Liverpool beat Atletico Madrid 3-2 in the UEFA Champions League in a match that the ESPN FC panel were dumbfounded they were able to pull out. Steve Nicol says Virgil van Dijk is still not to his best since his injury, and Nedum Onuoha takes it a step further, saying the whole team was very poor in a game where they once had a 2-0 lead.

Who would have thought Steve nicol ex Red being a fucking back stabber of the players
This was a racist referee. Normally when say liverpool plays home referees give them little advantage on fouls offsides and card (as to let them do their game) then when they go visit it goes to the home team. Nothing weird there. But with racist referees they govisitors and they wistle as if they were home (even more sided) when Atletico go visit Liverpool the referee will be slightly on their side and in this game (home ) It was too on their side. Never with racist people. For the one of us to keep history registers. Atletico eliminated reining champion on Anfield (since they are racist) they have to 1 have a revenge game (thin that would not have happened viceversa) 2 They believe to be better so had to take it back. German referee for German coach (white both of them). Imagine the US playing in souhamerican COMMEBOL and one time a COlombin, Othe a Peruvian and so the judgement would have been tilt to the latinamerican teams…. SO is this ….. referees tend to tild racistly their judgements to white peoples. Italian ,Portuguese referees don't do that they whistle little for the home evenly (regarless main race). Germans and brits want the Spanish, Portugues and italian team ALWAYS TO LOOSE. Also the Arabs ones (as Turkey). Believe to be that good you have to win yourselves with no referee making offsides and showing red cars (when they are yellow). Remember Spain/ Holland final in the world cup not a red card for Dutch whe he kicked Xabi Alonso, but yes one for Griezmann (he is playing for the Spanish). This could also be a case of corruption inside UEFA leading the wins to their fellow friends.
Steve nicol is a clueless pundit ..
Not his worst game
7-2 to villa was the worst
Steve Nicol doesn’t rate Matip. Does he even watch Liverpool?
Worst and won best and lost and eliminated last season
So Liverpool won on Spain's champions ground and still ….poor Steve?
Liverpool lose 7-2 to Villa amd this guy says this was their worst defensive performance with VVD. Talk about overreacting.
Accepted, a win is a win. However, our right back problem continues however good you may believe Trent Alexander Arnold to be as he is constantly out of position. Added to this problem, Keita on the right side cannot defend either and was skinned on a few occasions. We defended poorly in Madrid with the right side leaving gaping holes. We were very fortunate to concede only two, could have been 4 or 5.This will still cost us this year if not sorted out soon.
Nicol had lost it, he thinks we should be more worried by United ? Never watching these amateur pundits again, obviously never watch the action,
Steve nicol wasnt even half the player matip is.
EPSN really is the Sun newspaper of football analysis…click bait headlines and contrivance in argument by ex players and pundits all talking over each other in an echo chamber.
I'm sorry, but was it only me that noticed Nicol only gave praise to a fellow Scot, a Scot who hasn't been all that great this season so far and who has been out performed by Matip, a player he doesn't rate?
Steve he seem always a bit clueless, your last line of defence isnt the reason why other teams can play that easy in the half spaces, we now see how important Gini was in that midfield working hard especially for defence, and ofc missing Fab in the first half, the rest of the players had long time injuries they still need few more games. Matip was better than Virgil this season.
Atletico penalty appeal was never a penalty. Gimenz was looking for it
Nicol playing games lol
One thing is clear, liverpool will win NO title with this defence.
Steve needs new glasses!
Clueless pundits
