Best we've played all season but didn't take our chances and the long ball up against exposed Cb's was on every single time throughout the game.
Looked like someone was fouled before their goal but was hard to see between fights in the stand with Atletico fans in the home end.

To even get that far with Welbeck is an achievement.

Predictable that the first leg result was the main decider. Big regrets there.

We did for most of the game to be fair.
But only because Atletico let us, they were never under any real durress. It's so fucking basic but they're so fucking good at it. Chuck 8 men behind the ball in a line, press quickly when the full backs get the ball and then hoof it up field for Costa to bulldoze his way through or Griezmann to wriggle through.
Worse still that we fall for it every fucking time.
Game was done in the first leg with the chances we missed and the stupid goal we conceded. Fucking horrible that this is going to stick in the memory for years to come because they were there for the taking.

You had like one shot on target in the whole match. You were putting pressure on for a bit but barely got a kick in the last 15 mins. It was an even game but they had the clearer chances.
Ozil had a good game tonight but Welbrck and Ramsey are just hopeless and your defence looked soft as shite against Costa. Shame.

And three chances where the ball was squared right across goal and nobody went for it.
It was poor from our entire midfield tbh, including Ozil; made our best chances but was wasteful with the ball and didn't control the game when he should have when we were on top. Think Xhaka was our best player tbh. Welbeck anonymous, Ramsey fucked off out wide towards the end too for some reason.
Oh well, just get the season over with.
Koscielny may as well retire now too. Positive is that Chambers has come back in and looked very good.

If this was the early 2000s, N’Jie would be in one of those football trivia DVD ‘what happens next?’ sections.

N'Jie was great when he came on, he did that. He also looked like he was gonna tackle Sarr (think it was him at RB) everytime he tried getting forward with the ball and then got booked for kicking an Atletico player haha.
