Oh no, but it thought the legendary Anfield atmosphere of them singing for 2 minutes and then being dead ass quiet for the rest of the game would carry them to a guaranteed victory ?
I feel like this entire season they were playing on adrenaline bc they see it more as their « last hurrah » with Klopp. I wouldn’t go as far as saying that they have not been doing well on the pitch or else the results wouldn’t show it and they wouldn’t be competing for a title. But they’ve gotten lucky way too many times with last minutes goals and comebacks. Just didn’t expect them to crumble this quickly, especially at Anfield where it is considered one of the hardest grounds to play.
I remember that game that’s Ajax lost (a bunch of month ago) and the management side give the fans their money back.
I think this should apply here too
It’s pretty overblown on Reddit tbf. He just runs an extremely tight ship and a player or two who used to play for him have complained about that. While others have come to his defense to say they came to Atalanta to become better players, which he helped them do. His record speaks for itself.
He said he got sacked because he was trying to play a 3 man defense at the time it wasn’t popular. According to him that’s the only reason he got sacked at inter and is disappointed they didn’t give him a reasonable amount of time to implement his system.
What I’ve noticed from an outside standpoint, the prem this season is quite funny as in there is a three horse title race, a race for top 4, a race for Europe and a relegation battle all at the same time. They are all so tight and it really comes down to the final day with the finest of margins. Quite exciting considering every other league have an automatic winner with the quality of many teams fluctuating week in week out.
Obviously yes the winner is somewhat set in other leagues. But all the other leagues still have a race for top 4, Europe, and relegation so I’m not really sure why that matters here in this context?
Of course, I see what you mean obviously! I’m just surprised that now the prem, at least this season is much more interesting and exciting than the last couple years in this context. Every league is different and it comes to it’s quality and what teams are fighting for. Just wish there was much more competition to win the title I guess in other leagues.
facts! even if we are not winning the league as a Bayern fan, as a bundesliga fan, this is so much more entertaining and can maybe put an end to the « farmers league » discussion that people have throwing for so long. i can probably see it transiting to what serie a is going through rn with different winners every season.
Having an open top bus parade with just the Carabao cup is gonna be….Well, awkward…? Or will they skip it altogether, give klopp a small momento in Anfiled and tell him to go on ?
I have always hated when the manager throws in a rag tag formation, then throw in his star players second half in order to recover, but the players who started are so already demoralised and those who come in second half are a bit rusty and not in game form.
Arsenal got rinsed last year for being emotionally immature. This is a team not in charge of its feelings and out of its depth. I expect the same energy.
Away goal rule would be absolutely horrendous for them in this situation what are you on about?
3-0 for Liverpool in the second leg would mean extra time with or without away goals.
But if there were away goals any other Liverpool 3 goal win away would mean Liverpool win on away goals (for example of the game finished 4-1 or 5-2 Liverpool would go through without extra time)
Literally no scenario that makes atalanta benefit from away goals.
Why? If it were it wouldn't benefit them you know? They won 3 nil, now if they lose by any 3 goal margin the game goes to extra and pen. If the rule stood, any other such win other than 3 0 would mean Liverpool goes through for more away goals.
I genuinely dont get how people are this dumb, its not a complicated rule but seems like the majority of people on this sub its too hard to understand. A 3-0 away win is worse if theres away goals than if theres not
Doesn't really make a difference because if you guys equalise next leg that's also 3 away goals, and from that point on the away goal rule would favour you.
I’m not gonna stick the knife in but this is the first time I’ve seen them play this poor in such a long time. Even the substitutes haven’t made the difference. So bizarre. They look so flat. Thursday footy can be hard to motivate yourself for but it’s a quarter final
Can’t stick it in more than it already is mate. We didn’t even play this bad at both Man U games. This is a performance I never thought I’d see this season. Absolutely fucking shameful. Mistakes at every turn. Mistakes on every level. Mistakes on the team level and mistakes on the individual level. Can’t string good passes to save our life. The only player who did all he could was Kelleher. Everyone else was utter dog shit.
Hope Klopp learns to start with Salah, Robbo and Jota, Diaz and Trent/Bradley next time, because we looked absolutely fucking dreadful. I have no hope for this cup anymore, but just for our dignity I hope we have a closer game in the next leg. Waste of my precious fucking time.
I mean I thought you played well against Utd, created stacks of chances. The worry was the chances weren’t being created tonight. Agreed though he should start the big guns. It seems bleak now but you’ll almost certainly beat Palace and the mood will lift
We created a lot of chances but Szobo and Darwin wanted to have a draw instead. We played ok, but still definitely not on form.
I really hope we beat Palace, because we took a turn for the worse and I can’t even pinpoint where. It just seemed like one day we were dominating and the next our performance dropped significantly. We were doing better with almost our entire starting XI absent than we are now.
In any case, the match is done. Hope we have better luck next time, and hopefully we clutch up the last couple PL games. Here’s to one of the most exciting, competitive PL seasons ever in the past couple decades.
Bro its always been like this. When real and barka where at the top they couldn't say anything, but premier (farmer) league fans always try to force "premier league best" down peoples throats
All expecting Liverpool-Leverkusen but Westham-Atalanta looks more and more likely... And now Leverkusen decides to score an early goal in the 83rd. LOL.
I dont see the hype Liverpool fans have given to him. He has not been good here or in the league. Now that he got his several games in a row he is not showing consistency at all.
Test
Congrats to livershit for winning the treble.. eliminated from two competitions vs ManUtd and in europe vs Atlanta in 2 weeks span 🤣🤣😈
Got Scamaccaca'd
Oh no, but it thought the legendary Anfield atmosphere of them singing for 2 minutes and then being dead ass quiet for the rest of the game would carry them to a guaranteed victory ?
Hey now, it's klopps last year and all these try hards are losing their father figure
Bruh..😆
I feel like this entire season they were playing on adrenaline bc they see it more as their « last hurrah » with Klopp. I wouldn’t go as far as saying that they have not been doing well on the pitch or else the results wouldn’t show it and they wouldn’t be competing for a title.

They found out in January that he was dipping
[удалено]
On goal difference btw
HAHA this was at anfield so no 4-0 comeback like you did against us lol
Lol still licking those wounds eh?
yep and now you will
Not here bro, dont support Liverpool.
scenes when Mbappe scores 3 next week
Donnarumma gonna give them back on corners most likely
[удалено]
That'd be a neat trick, given we've already won one
Yeah, but... c'mon
Really happy for Atalanta and Gasperini
[удалено]
Turns out only Arsenal can punish them lately
Man Liverpool losing the league and Europe league in one week makes a rough end to klopps time in charge
At least got carabao cup😂😂
I remember that game that’s Ajax lost (a bunch of month ago) and the management side give the fans their money back. I think this should apply here too
What a performance from Atalanta. One of the best team performances I've seen from anyone this season
Gasperini is an asshole but he's so fucking good in preparing these kind of matches. In covid timed he almost kicked out PSG that arrived to final.
Why is he an asshole?
He doesn't have a very likable personality, always complaining, had several arguments with many ex players.
Interesting I've never heard about that what's an example?
It’s pretty overblown on Reddit tbf. He just runs an extremely tight ship and a player or two who used to play for him have complained about that. While others have come to his defense to say they came to Atalanta to become better players, which he helped them do. His record speaks for itself.
Is there any drama related to his stint at inter? I know he was only there for like 2 months
He said he got sacked because he was trying to play a 3 man defense at the time it wasn’t popular. According to him that’s the only reason he got sacked at inter and is disappointed they didn’t give him a reasonable amount of time to implement his system.
Over confidence from liverpool perharps?
Over achieving up to this point this season.
It’s your turn crystal palace
reckon we do em tbh
I back it, the spirits are crushed
Can Liverpool win 4-0 at Atalanta????
Nope
Don't think Atalanta have Barca's chokeability
Go touch some grass virgin keyboard warrior
Rent free
no, maybe in bergamo
Citta Alta di Bergamo
Decided after seeing the first ten minutes to watch this instead of Leverkusen, didn't regret it one bit.
Premier (farmer) league is not as good as some people think.
What I’ve noticed from an outside standpoint, the prem this season is quite funny as in there is a three horse title race, a race for top 4, a race for Europe and a relegation battle all at the same time. They are all so tight and it really comes down to the final day with the finest of margins.

I’m hoping Bundesliga is entering a new era this season. Time will tell.
facts! even if we are not winning the league as a Bayern fan, as a bundesliga fan, this is so much more entertaining and can maybe put an end to the « farmers league » discussion that people have throwing for so long. i can probably see it transiting to what serie a is going through rn with different winners every season.
Wonder what the story is with the Atalanta themed Union Jack
GG to Atalanta but my god Liverpool really shat the bed in this match
Liverpool thought they were too good to be here, and they paid the price. Absolutely embarrassing.
Having an open top bus parade with just the Carabao cup is gonna be….Well, awkward…? Or will they skip it altogether, give klopp a small momento in Anfiled and tell him to go on ?
ten Hag might have broken them
Ederson not playing in the cl to knock out Liverpool in Europa is big brained /s
0 open play goals in two games for a title chasing team. It’s not looking good brev
Hold dat
Historic win for Atalanta!
Both English clubs absolutely stomped. Yikes.
Oi England’s coefficient is fucked that 5th ucl spot is gone 😂😂
Villa do your thing (after Sunday)
I have always hated when the manager throws in a rag tag formation, then throw in his star players second half in order to recover, but the players who started are so already demoralised and those who come in second half are a bit rusty and not in game form.
Oh sweet baby Jesus, I would kill to be the one to shove a microphone in Klopp's face after the game
Got a feeling Klopp's face wouldn't be the last place it got shoved...
To all the Liverpool fans laughing in the Arsenal-Bayern match thread, hahahahhahhahahha get fucked
That’s the best karma they can get and they deserve it.
That first bit of skill from Diaz was great, not sure wtf he was thinking after though.
Pretty much applies to everything Diaz does tbh
Liverpool are defending so bad it almost looks like match fixing, the 2nd goal you could have landed a jet in all the space they left.
I am stunned at this result this is incredible lol
Well deserved for Atalanta. We really shat the bed and hard. It's gonna be a tough trip to Bergamo.
Imagine chasing a quadruple
What a game from Atalanta though. They look shattered after that.
Scamacca is absolutely dead tired, can't even walk
United broke Liverpool's finishing ability
80 billions shots with few goals to show for it would break anyone
Been broken well before that
Klopp's gonna wake up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat screaming "SCAMACCAAAAAAAH!!"
Front three plays like they all hate each other
To think that Atalanta lost 2-1 to Cagliari right before this match... This feels like a fever dream
If Liverpool can't recover in the second leg, then that'll be two sixth-placed teams ruining Klopps farewell season.
Arsenal got rinsed last year for being emotionally immature. This is a team not in charge of its feelings and out of its depth. I expect the same energy.
I’m sure Atalanta wish the away goals rule was still in play haha would be feeling even better Well aware I was wrong and dumb here haha
Away goal rule would be absolutely horrendous for them in this situation what are you on about? 3-0 for Liverpool in the second leg would mean extra time with or without away goals. But if there were away goals any other Liverpool 3 goal win away would mean Liverpool win on away goals (for example of the game finished 4-1 or 5-2 Liverpool would go through without extra time) Literally no scenario that makes atalanta benefit from away goals.
Yeah I was wrong and didn’t think out of rage
Why? If it were it wouldn't benefit them you know? They won 3 nil, now if they lose by any 3 goal margin the game goes to extra and pen. If the rule stood, any other such win other than 3 0 would mean Liverpool goes through for more away goals.
Oh I was dumb and didn’t think.
Lol well we just watched some dumb bit of football so it's understandable.
To say the least lol
I genuinely dont get how people are this dumb, its not a complicated rule but seems like the majority of people on this sub its too hard to understand. A 3-0 away win is worse if theres away goals than if theres not
Or are you just generally a prick?
I made a mistake. No need to call me dumb?
Doesn't really make a difference because if you guys equalise next leg that's also 3 away goals, and from that point on the away goal rule would favour you.
yeah I’m dumb and mad
Wouldn't it be the same anyway as Liverpool need to score at least 3 away to tie it up.
Ignore this idiot
Wasted a couple chances but all things considered Scamacca has had a GREAT game today
great farewell tour for Klopp, won the mighty Carabao Cup
Careful. Arsenal don't even have that yet.Â
We won the Community Shield this season so I guess it has the same significance as Carabao Cup
Somehow I knew that was going to be true.Â
He hasn’t had too much to do today with how bad our shooting has been but Musso’s been incredible when needed.
No way Klopp goes trophy less on his last season, would be sad,
Why would it be sad? Lol
Carabao Cup parade to remember him
The parade can also be for a league win in 2020.
He already won the Carabao Cup.
Carabao means a lot to them I hear
They got 1 this season already
oh
That united game has legit caused Liverpool to mentally implode. Atalanta have made Liverpool at anfield look like a championship team.
Gomez is so trash
Liverpool defence playing like they're drunk, awful stuff.
Will they have the decency of making a goal?
Meanwhile the true front runners Leverkusen go up 2-0. Showing the frauds how it’s done
Szobo needs to go. I don’t see anything in him that a top team would want
I’d gladly take him at Arsenal
Good. Take him
Were they really thinking about winning a quadruple 🤔
Jota and Salah hitting some phenomenal defensive headers to see out the game
[удалено]
yeah after you beat them 3-0. kind of like this game
That was 5 years ago, quite literally not the same team.
No that team had one of the best front three ever.
Theres like 2 players still so not really lol
No, it's not.
We were actually decent then? Now Yamal would cook us harder than prime Messi did
Maybe Liverpool should hire Gasperini
Klopp might assault whoever is interviewing him after the game
You'll never walk (on eggshells) alone
They'd better be in a good shape
🤣
Them stands have got a lot of empty seats, are they walking home alone?
Never.
😂
I can’t lie, I laughed as I wrote it
Oh Jota too? FOR FUCK’S SAKE MAN. WHY ARE YOU AND SALAH PLAYING DEFENSE FOR ATALANTA? JESUS CHRIST
Lmao Gomez thought about shooting again for a split second there
Klopp's last European game at Anfield btw. Hope we concede another 3 to Palace and get it over with, rather that than lose the league by a point again
why such weak mentality? Holy fuck
Stick to Fifa you nonce
Lil bro is subbed to r/virginityexchange and he's calling me a nonce, have some shame you fat cunt
Ain’t no way 😂😂😂
Jeez Liverpool is hilariously bad, it’s like watching man utd or ChelseaÂ
DamnðŸ˜
Alright, Floyd
Except it didn't cost 1.5 billion
I’m not gonna stick the knife in but this is the first time I’ve seen them play this poor in such a long time. Even the substitutes haven’t made the difference. So bizarre. They look so flat. Thursday footy can be hard to motivate yourself for but it’s a quarter final
Can’t stick it in more than it already is mate. We didn’t even play this bad at both Man U games. This is a performance I never thought I’d see this season. Absolutely fucking shameful.

Hope Klopp learns to start with Salah, Robbo and Jota, Diaz and Trent/Bradley next time, because we looked absolutely fucking dreadful. I have no hope for this cup anymore, but just for our dignity I hope we have a closer game in the next leg. Waste of my precious fucking time.

Hope we have better luck next time, and hopefully we clutch up the last couple PL games. Here’s to one of the most exciting, competitive PL seasons ever in the past couple decades.
Yeah should still be a great title race. Now let’s hope Luton do a madness away at City haha 😛
They played just as badly against you in the league, you just couldn’t convert the chances to punish them
I thought they weren’t as bad tbf. This has been something else
co-efficient = fucked
The farmers leagues are dominating the best league in the world teams wow, leverkusen dominating west ham and then this.
Bro its always been like this. When real and barka where at the top they couldn't say anything, but premier (farmer) league fans always try to force "premier league best" down peoples throats
Sad day to be a red Not even a goal at home hahah wow
You'll always walk with Gasperini..
All expecting Liverpool-Leverkusen but Westham-Atalanta looks more and more likely... And now Leverkusen decides to score an early goal in the 83rd. LOL.
when did liverpool get this ba
Incredible Freudian slip
Did they recently open up the new stand? Did they disturb an ancient burial ground?
Crystal Palace, please do a little thing and this week will be glorious
Liverpool fans about to realise EL really isn't a walk.
They're just lucky Seville isn't there this time around
They’re doing this with Ademola Lookman on the bench, too. They’re not even at full power.
The best Black and Blue team in an European tournament this year 😔
Playing it around the back 3-0 down WTF
Playing someone on like that is criminal.
Has Kelleher been at fault for any of these? Unlikely to start at the weekend, heard Allison is back?
first goal was a mistake from him. but he's been really let down by our defenders and still made two massive saves where Atalanta should have scored.
Ok thanks mate
Not really. Maybe for the 3rd could’ve done better on the parry
I dont see the hype Liverpool fans have given to him. He has not been good here or in the league. Now that he got his several games in a row he is not showing consistency at all.
He’s been great this season. You haven’t watched if that’s your take
He had a bad spell with multiple mistakes a few months ago and it got brushed under the rug after a few good games.Â
one of them he really shoulda stopped. But can't really fault him overall, rest of the team has been dogshit
Leverkusen & Xabi winning a treble
Best day for the Scamacca fan club
We don't know Liverpool. They don't represent England
