LIVERPOOL v atleti
wednesday 11 march #20 Anfield
I am hoping for a "revenge" for my own reasons as much as for the REdS to progress in defence of the European champions trophy (final Istanbul?)
I was at Anfield when Rafa's REdS , got put out of the UEFA cup semis, winning 2-1 , after a 1-0 reverse in madrid , also against atleti (who were much more friendly in those days) his team, which had been plagued by injuries to the few key players that last season before he was forced out by USAcorp yan kers in the boardroom & fan nies who still dont appreciate how intelligent he is....
... with Hendo fit and, for me, Fab not at his best , I would slightly adjust the very attacking line up I previously proposed, as Hendo, I feel could maintain the midfield pressure needed to overcome a dogged and dirty cheating madrid defence (10 of them?) ... fab bies who think this will be "easy" need to understand that the home game v barca (4-0) was an "easier" game than this , they will do everything to disrupt the REdS rhythm ... so .. with AB out,..
NEED 200 % effort , energy and SUPPORT

Defending European champions Liverpool have endured a "slump " in results of late that (seems to have) started with their 1-0 first-leg loss to atletico with Premier League and FA Cup defeats following in their next three outings.
The REds then bounced back with a 2-1 victory over Bournemouth at the weekend as they continued their march towards the Premier League title, and will be aiming to continue the revival by turning things around at Anfield on Wednesday.
Adrian is set to be in the Liverpool goal once again, with Alisson Becker still injured.
All eyes will be on Anfield on Wednesday night as Liverpool look to get the better of atletico and progress to the quarter-final. saul's early goal was the difference in the first leg and while the REdS are fancied given home advantage, the lack of an away goal could put the tie in Atletico's hands.
We're drawn into talk of the 'famous Anfield atmosphere' on European nights, especially after barcelona collapsed last season, but a goal for the visitors puts the home side in a difficult position.atletico MAYbe comfortable out of possession. The first leg saw them post 33% in this area and they still came out with victory. The first-half of that contest ended with the LaLiga side having 29% possession but two shots on target and, crucially, one goal

Mo's 80th goal on his 100th
Premier League appearance made him the first Liverpool player since
Michael Owen in 2002-03 to score 20-plus goals in three successive
seasons while Sadio Mane's coolly-taken effort turned around bournemouth's controversial early lead, given to them by Callum Wilson.
Salah's
strike, his 16th in the league this season, also took him past Luis
Suarez as the club's leading overseas scorer in the top flight.
The
win ended a run of three defeats in four matches in all competitions
and was the ideal morale-booster before Wednesday's pivotal Champions
League last-16 tie at home to atletico , in which they trail 1-0
after the first leg.
Liverpool's bright start belied their recent difficulties but somehow they still went behind.
There was more than a whiff of a foul when wilson appeared to
shove Joe , who he targeted physically all game, but referee Paul
Tierney started as he was to go on and allowed play to continue.
That
ultimately resulted in lerma crossing for wilson to sidefoot
home, and when VAR did not come to Liverpool's salvation Juergen was
apoplectic.
It was the fourth time in the last five matches his
side had conceded the first goal, having not gone behind in the previous
14 - excluding the youth team's League Cup defeat at Aston Villa.
With an unexpected lead bournemouth sought to capitalise and Nathan Ake's header was pushed onto the crossbar by Adrian.,,,,
Liverpool found a response and turned the match around in an eight-minute spell.
An
injury to centre-back cook had a hugely disruptive effect on the
visitors as his replacement simpson was like a rabbit caught in the
headlights as he dithered before trying to dribble past MANe just 15
yards outside his own penalty area. who easily
nicked the ball, and while his pass to Mo Salah was behind his team-mate
and left him with more to do than he would have liked, but Mo quickly recovered control to tuck a shot inside ramsdale's
left-hand post.
It was Salah's eighth goal in six appearances
against the cherries, scoring in every game, his 14th in as many Premier
League matches at Anfield and ended Liverpool's longest goal drought
(124 minutes) since February 2019.
Mane put them ahead when Virgil
Van Dijk's interception and through-ball sent the unmarked Mane clear , who bent a shot past ramsdale, and Milly should have made it three
but his cushioned shot from Salah's cross carried neither the weight nor
direction to trouble the goalkeeper.
Milly's intervention
in front of that same goal, albeit in the second half, prevented his
side conceding an equaliser as fraser's lob over Adrian was certain
to go in until the 34-year-old midfielder, playing at left-back after
Robbo was rested as a precaution, raced back to clear two yards
out.
With Liverpool only threatening in fits and spurts, Mane's
first-time shot from 30 yards deserved a goal but rebounded back off the
angle, while ramsdale's fingertips kept out Salah's near-post effort.
Juergen was furiously jabbing his temples with
both index fingers showed how conscious he was of the need to see out
the final 10 minutes.three fist pumps to
the Kop - and then again to the Main Stand - was a release of his
pent-up frustration as much as a celebration.
By contrast
bournemouth manager howe trudged down the tunnel after a ninth
defeat in 10 away games, a run of just three victories in 18 league
matches leaving them stuck in 18th and in real danger of being
relegated.
