What the hell is going on with Atletico? It's 55th minute and the score against Elche is 1-1. I'm not watching the game, but I see that the statistics are completely equal. This is despite the fact that Atletico is playing at home and they lost in the first round. It is clear that they will most likely win the game, bookmakers are currently giving 1.60 for this outcome, but this is an extremely weak start for a team with the most expensive coach in the world, a good squad and supposed title contenders. I wonder what would have to happen for Simeone to be fired?
They really got a 1-1 draw at the end, unbelievable... Only 1 point after leaving 2 weeks behind. Honestly both games were comfortable ones on paper too.
Atletico Madrid still struggle with scoring multiple goals. So many goal opportunities but wasting nearly all of them... They can't win games this way.
It could really be Simeone's final season even though it is early to make this comment.
Yep. One point in two games against obvious underdogs. This shit is beyond my comprehension. If Atletico are so bad against underdogs, what do they expect in games against serious opponents? Again sit in defense and hope for a counterattack? This has not worked for a long time, plus Simeone seems unable to set up even a good defense like he once could. Other clubs would have changed their coach a couple of times over the last couple of seasons, but Atletico seem to have forgotten about this option altogether.
