That was a predictable half of football.

I remember Azpi and his crossing to Morata, has he forgot how to cross the ball with his advancing years???

Well, that was a dull first half. We had a couple of nice interplay but Atlético are sooooo defensive and we are soooo slow in the build up.

With a packed box we need to start taking more shots on goal

Best half of football AC has ever played 

He's been really good hasn't he, solid and very tidy. 

We haven't just cursed him have we?

We are passing the ball around quite nicely without ever looking like troubling them.

I think we've heard that for the past 30 games this season 

A few dodgy moments but pleased with. That first half. Mount, CHO and Werner look up for it. 

Atletico playing like that were winners here making out 0-0 after this. They will change something for second half I am 100% sure.

Havertz there unmarked around 10 yards from the goal... Mount must do something this game he can't waste any more openings.

Think I'm Watching A Different Game To You Then

Not bad at all. We certainly look like the better side.

Just go on and the goal will come.

again, it will probably come down to a one chance being converted

We have no one that can shoot on the pitch

We did well, but Atletico surely won’t play like this again in 2nd half. I’m worried that we’ve missed our chance to grab that away goal.

I’m still pissed off about that stupid yellow for Mount. Pretty sure it was Dave who did the foul!

Lots of slooow passing around the Atleti block. We look best with short sharp combos in the final third. Mount and CHO, Giroud and Kova. More of that please.

You crazy man, that's just silly talk. Why take a shot when you can stylishly play the ball from the edge of the opposition box all the way back to your own goalkeeper. That's proper football that is...

I can see what youre doing here. You think because everyone else is slating jorginho youll do the same to mount and change the subject. Fact is mount is the only one trying to make something happen..and jorginho has been appaling.

That terrible w**king injury he’s suffered is obviously playing on his mind!

This is their home game so they need to score surely?? 

Need to be more decisive in the final third we have a goal up is here they are looking for the counter attack which is obvious 

I didn't realise Sam Allardyce was managing Atletico nowadays. 

I imagine 0-0 suits Athletico more with the second leg at the Bridge. They will fancy their chances of scoring an away goal on the counter if we try to take the game to them.

And when you have Suarez on the pitch, one chance is all it takes. 16 goals from 20 shots is very scary.
