Poor from Griezmann
Just coming back from a hamstring injury, surprise inclusion in the squad.Probably been said but is there a reason Costa is on the bench? Could do with him winding people up.
Ramsey tackle on Correa - no foul
But it's a semi final so you need to allow it. Or something.
Refs do give players 2 or 3 chances though. How often do you see a ref tell a player one more foul and he'll be booked after 2 or 3 challenges?Refs can't make up their own rules. It's either a foul or it isn't, a card or it isn't. There's no mitigating circumstances, no discretion based on context.
Cheers. Won't see much of him then.Just coming back from a hamstring injury, surprise inclusion in the squad.
Probably so but part of the beauty of the game is the nuance and the decisions and non decisions a ref makes. We constantly see refs giving a second or last chance before a booking. How many times does a ref let a game continue whilst a team is attacking or setting up for one last corner or free kick even though the game time and injury is obviously over? Of course I hate it when my team is hurt by these human decisions. Ha!Refs taking those things into account are the ones getting it wrong. That's the whole point.
Then they're doing it wrong. This guy has done it right.
Under Mourinho, we have defended pretty well when down to 10 men, almost to the point of it not mattering. Simeone's team is similarly well-drilled, expect the game is still on.Can still see Atletico nicking one here, Pratey was good on the counter attack there.
That would be a disaster for Arsenal, they simply can't concede an away goal playing 10 men now.
'Great ref' apparently.How many fouls do these Arsenal players need to make before getting booked? What is this?
However, without Costa, they are the same side who got shat on by Chelsea and Roma in the CL. Costa is so important for them.Shouldn't be a shock given the two managers but going down to 10 men and how they've coped emphasises how much tactically and mentally stronger Atletico are than Arsenal.
Too soon.Arsenal, such a team of losers.
YesIs Costa on the bench?
The speed with which he stood up and that straight face.Costa already looks like he wants to murder someone.
$$$$Still no yellow card for Arsenal for blatant yellow card offences...very strange isnt it
Apparently played there in four games this season - Atletico kept a clean sheet in three of them.Partey looks terrific, slotted into RB like he's been playing there his entire life.
