Liverpool is strong, no need to be consolidated
In a season where the former European champions could lose 2-7 to Aston Villa, instead of believing in outside comments and judgments, Klopp and his students know how to progress. With a dilapidated defense, Liverpool is even more cautious.
In the past 3 years, never before have "Red Brigade" fans celebrated as many goals as this season. Wins with a margin of only 1 goal are always Liverpool's way of maintaining to move forward step by step during this period. It is a must be late to avoid the case of just winning 5-0 in the Champions League but falling off the horse immediately afterwards in the Premier League like Manchester United.
In the same scenario as how to enter the game, Liverpool are leading in both major arenas this season. In the Champions League, it is not difficult for The Kop to lead Group D with their current strength and class. However, in a "pandemic" season when the ball rolled in all directions, we had to admire Klopp and his team when they had won all 2 of their first matches, scored 3 goals and did not concede any.
It is not surprising that tonight away, Liverpool will play slowly, waiting for the opportunity to finish off their opponents with only 1 time. The chosen one could be Jota, the new "shoots" in October.
Atalanta remains an unpredictable unknown
Ilicic and his teammates have proven that they are not a phenomenon for a season after a series of sublime matches last season in Serie A as well as the UEFA Champions League. The current 4th place in the domestic league and 2nd place in the Champions League are not bad for Atalanta.
Unlike Liverpool, the stability of the Italian representative is not high. Before tonight's match, they could crush Cagliari 5-2 but immediately lost 1-4 to Napoli. Maybe they beat Midtjylland 4-0 but immediately lost 1-3 to sampdoria. Atalanta are making it impossible for fans and experts to predict how they will bring their faces to their home stadium to face the mighty Liverpool.
In a group with Midtjylland too weak and Ajax no longer themselves after 2 years, Atalanta had a chance to continue to the round of 16. But everything is just a theory. If they lose to Liverpool tonight, it is unknown how many more bad results will come after that.
Liverpool will not attack, Atalanta will not dare to do so against a "Giant", whether the best match in Group D is a goal party or a sleepover for the audience and ended with a "all in the village happy together" result?
