Sid is really good at analysing things. Agree with everything that he said
I think the problems are the shift to a style that is more offensive or not having an identity. Add to them the injuries in the defense department and you get a team that doesn't know what they want. They better figure it out or they will continue to play bad and lose games in La Liga and other tournaments
Tbf to simeone they have some key injuries to defense
You have to see the injury list , so he's changing formation until his players are back
This and that !! No one is talking about the number of injuries of the first team players that Atletico is suffering with. Stupid punditry.
He absolutely don’t know his best starting 11.. Atletico finishing below Barca will be a failure..
Joao and Suarez need to play and then those who communicate with these two which are Llorente, Lemar and Herrera. The rest he can play with, but still can't be changing players that much, it is impossible to achieve consistency by changing players all the time.
Simeone has no idea how to handle a team loaded with talent, that's why all the changes and inconsistency in the performance.
That's why Simeone does good when he has nothing to choose from.
Atletico Madrid must play like man city , Bayern Munich because they have enough players atletico Madrid must change defensive tactics to attacking tactics
This Athletico Madrid squad does not really suit Diego Simeone. These are players who are good on the ball they are not the mercenaries like Godin,Juanfran and Gabi
why dont we talk about referreing on atletico games dicgusting in course of this season
Simone is just an average coach just like pochetino, Sari, ole, they just dont know how to utilize the players they have. Simone won trophies by chance and it comes once in a decade. When he is out which club would be interested to hire him? My second tier teams!
It’s the same with my Chelsea at the moment. We also won a big competition last year and this seasons been a bit of a struggle
I am sure that they will bounce back next year.
Felix and Griezmann up front is their best front line at the moment.
So far both oblak and stegen are worst gk in LALIGA
He should now leave atheltico madrid his time is now over
if your whole managerial ability are based around out passioning other teams, the wheel will come off as soon as one or two players started to get tired of your voice. honestly his tactics arent better than granada or getafe, just with better players. on any given day the plan might not work.
The diversity on this show, Sid is better than most Pundits while all the other bozos probably shouldn't even have the job
Craig Burley must know what the best lineup is, or else this statement is useless.
Seems like they just checking the result instead checking real fact. Our best player is our cuz injury
He is scared after getting ronaldo in champions league draw
The last game they played very well they had a goal wrongfully disallowed and they should of gotten the pen the referee and var was awful
Protcol we have hundred strap ?? brrppp
Joao Felix isn’t inconsistent
He Just isn’t going to play as CB for 60-90 Minutes
All Simeone wants 1 Goalie 5 Center Backs 3 Denfensive Midfielders 1 Center Midfielder 1 Striker
Cant blame simeone completely also. His whole deffencive line is injured and is in the hospital for a month. He is forced to play A DMF as CB. Atletico without their strong deffence always suffer. And i think Suarez and Koke should be benched.
Atletico needs to let go Simioni he has done great so far but now it is good time to try something different since Barca and Real Madrid are not strong
He should relegate Suarez to the bench and play Cunha and Felix consistently. They are not as bad as it seems just need to score goals and get there defenders back and they’ll be fine.
1 trick pony playing pony football. ?
It's simple Atletico Madrid need a new manager. It's a bit obvious for a few years now!
Simeone to Psg
Felix >>> Griezmann
Another curse of championship hangover. Not as much motivation to win a trophy if you just won it half a year ago
Simone is just a one trick pony. Won the league only if Real and Barca are totally useless
Went down hill with Suarez & then Griezman. ATM never had too many offensive options, now they have too many people to fit in. They're a scuffed better version of PSG because their main issues are in in attack & few issues midfield/defense.
Suarez is too old for La Liga & CL, Griezman is losing his form for not playing or not playing in optimal position. Joa Felix feels like he's the best performer but his development & youth is sacrificed with weird systems trying to implement too many players.
If I was Simeone, I'd create a system around Korrea & Jao Felix in attack, then stabilize midfield & defense.
They have too many I jut issues thier whole defense is in the hospital
Got to ask has he stayed to long at the one club at any club you can only say the same things so many times till players tune you out
Matt Cunha and Felix up front,both looked good when they came on.
1st
As a Madridista cholo and his men have disappointed me. Give us the title already ☺
Appreciate players while they are performing in the moment because you never know when their best days are about to end.
