Post game was hilarious.
I don't care if they've lost, they're still the best team in Europe!
I bet all the Atleti players can talk about in that dressing room is how amazing Liverpool are!

Allowing 11 shots on target, and one off the crossbar plus conceding twice from simple crosses into the box doesn't immediately scream amazing defending to me.
While we're on the subject of bad defending, a special shout out to van Dijk for Atleti's 2nd goal. Just wanders around in no man's land for the entire move.

I was very impressed with them in the first leg but they looked average at best last night. They sit back a lot more than they used to. At their peak they gave the other team a hard time all over the pitch. Clearly far less fit than before too.
When they bothered to attack they were pretty decent at it, though.

He spoke of Atletico as if they were a team of bumpkins who had come out of nowhere. One would hope that a pundit on a major TV network woukd have some awareness that they've been consistently good and beating teams better than Liverpool for nearly ten years now, but oh well. Pillock.

Premier League emergency meeting tomorrow.
Am told some figures at certain clubs disagree with the decision to continue, and feel the season should be voided.
voided eh?

Aye voiding it seems the only fair way to deal with it.

The only options so far as I can see (unless somehow the situation improves dramatically very fast, which seems unlikely) are:
- play all remaining fixtures behind closed doors (probably not a goer now, because loads of players/coaches/other peeps will invariably be sick already, so that's a no no)
- delay everything (also not plausible, as we have no idea at the moment how long a delay would need to be, and a delay of anything more than a few weeks would mean other major international events like the Euros having to also be delayed or outright cancelled)
- End the season with everything as it stands at the moment (no way this will happen, due to matters of procedural fairness. Would lead to massive legal battles, particularly for any team that was relegated etc.)
- Void the season and write it off (not ideal, but realistically what other options are there?)

Apparently they'll also promote the Top 4 teams in 2.Bundesliga as well.

There's no chance Euro 2020 goes ahead IMO. There's not the room now with postponements to complete the UEFA club competitions in enough time. The calendar is far too tight and there's absolutely no wiggle room.
