I think it's high time they changed their coach and brought in a new one because there's not Diego Simeone is doing with the team. He should leave now and let someone take charge of the team before players begin to lose the zeal to play and start thinking to move out.
Their first game of the season and they lose Espanyol and as if that wasn't enough, they went on to draw with Elche, a newly promoted side. It's quite clear from the looks of things that this season would be a very tough one for Atletico Madrid so yeah, a new coach should be considered.
There is no doubt after having start like this Atlético Madrid is surely looking not well-prepared for challenges, and they are surely going to be faced challenges for keeping themselves into top 4 because competitiveness is increased, and they are not prepared for this.
Two games 1 point and their next game is also not easy because Alaves is also strong enough to show some challenging performance against Struggling Atlético Madrid while Diego Simeone is having nothing in his bed which increase performance of this team which deserve to be much better and stable sadly their consistency is also big concern which needs to be fixed before it's gone good late for them.
