EL DERBI MADRILEÑO | La Liga Jornada #8 | 29.09.24 | 21:00 CET

I don't think I've ever seen anybody go with 2 RBs, 2 LBs, 2 CBs + DM against Simeone's Atletico.

With the team we have, even sans Mbappe, we had all the means to smash Atletico not protect a measly 0-1 lead like the world was ending.

But..but it was the Metropolitano

 

Nobody said it did.

 

That's not the same thing though.

Dropping points can be multifactorial.

Rudiger f-ed up and it wasn't the time for Endrick to have a solo Bobbyman glory show especially from that distance/position where the shot had a low chance of going in. Also, Oblak is not Nübel.

Both are valid points.

 

No we should be happy with 1 point against Patherico who get their cheeks clapped by ease every year by Barca.

Ancelotti the coward admitted it himself. We were ‘winning’ so he started to defend, took off all our weapons we could use in the counter. 6 defenders against Atlético, even Getafe would be ashamed

If it was Vini in that Bellingham position with Endrick, it’s a different story.

We chose to defend a 1-0 lead against Atlsirco for christ sake. This isn’t city, liverpool, bayern or even barca, it’s ATLÉTICO.

 

How dare you say Carlo this, Carlo that! Stop being a "prick"

Funny stat: Simeone never managed to get a single point off of Xavi. W5 D0 L0.

 

Atletico shit their pants against Barcelona. It is an unfortunate but true fact.

 

And if we got hammered you'd be the first like you were last season

 

They were pretty dismal yesterday as well.

 

In a vacuum an away draw to Atleti is not a bad result, it won’t be even close to a reason we wouldn’t win the title.

But the way it happened is frustrating, not a fan of how we tried to protect a small lead like that.

 

ITV 4 have a 3 year telly deal where they get to show 10 La Liga games per season, and those 10 games must have 1 of Barca, RM or AM in it.

They are just not advertising it though. I don't know anyone who even knew this was on.

 

Yeah i blamed Rudiger when Endrick was the culprit here after the game. But individual mistakes and lapses in concentration would happen more commonly when you are playing a high line, compared to a compact low block. I am saying this, fully aware of the mistake Rudiger committed last season against City which was much more strange.

 

Simeone vs Barca:
36 games 5W,11D,20L
only 2 of this wins came at the league and they both was against Koeman.
This dude like shits his pants each time he faces Barca at the league.

 

Ah I see.

I hadn't a clue until about an hour before kick off when I saw the fixture and thought Mmh, let's take a look if either Premier Sports or ITV4 are televising this as I seem to recall last season they showed the odd La Liga game.

I don't think there are a lot of UK viewers for the La Liga so they rather advertise things like AEW, I'm a Celeb or Big Brother which they know will draw in bigger numbers.

 

Its the coach, he only won against Koeman which says enough. Ancelotti in his first period got hammered 4-0 by him.

It’s Mourinho light vs Mourinho in these fixtures, both coaches don’t want to win, which we saw yesterday. Draw is fine.
