Yeah they knew they'd had a game! I wasn't that impressed with Griezmann live, to be honest. 

I find that really interesting, as I watched him live over both legs and was really impressed

 

Not that either of us are right or wrong mind.

 

I thought his work rate was absolutely outstanding, pressing us and cutting off passing avenues. Still a dodgy pen in the first leg though

Watched the first leg live very close to the pitch and the way Griezmann kept picking the ball up between the lines was one of the biggest differences between the two sides. Quality player.

Still talk about how good defensively atleti were, was incredible to watch

 

still think we were robbed in first leg though 

Obvs wasn’t a pen but robbed?  We never laid a glove on them …….

Unless my memory is playing tricks, I thought Claudio changed full backs early on,  Danny Simpson for Sclupp and Fuchs for de Laet. Crucially, he turned JV into a lone central striker. Without these changes there's no way we would have won the league. So for me, Claudio 75% won it with 25% from Nige. 

Can't help wondering what would have happened if Esteban had stayed for that season. No Kante, therefore, so I have my doubts. 

Basically you’ve summarised it perfectly…

 

Nigel laid the foundations brilliantly 

 

What Claudio acheived should never be underestimated either tactically or managing the team, pressure and media…. It really boils my piss when I see people trying to revise / undervalue his contribution….
