Other than Falcao...

Hi there,

Just thought it might be a nice change to take the emphasis of last night's game off your own performance. Atlético's recent results suggest that they must be doing something right.

One of the things I noticed in other threads is that Falcao is virtually the only Atlético player who gets a mention, but surely they must have had other good performers.

Personally, I thought Arda Turan was excellent building their attacks, and that Mario Suárez played the holding midfield role really well. I also thought Adrian, and later his sub, Christian "Onion" Rodríguez, proved very incisive down the wing.

A mention must also be made of manager Cholo Simeone. The guy is a club legend and as a player always displayed great leadership qualities on the pitch. This ascendancy has obviously been instrumental in orchestrating the huge turnaround, especially in terms of attitude and commitment, that they've shown since he took over in December. Premature to say this, but if he's capable of carrying this over to other clubs, it wouldn't surprise me if he eventually took over at a bigger club and led them to greater heights.

How about you, who else at Atlético apart from Falcao do you think deserves a mention for last night's performance.
