Poor from Griezmann
Europa Semi Finals
- Thread starter montpelier
- Start date
Just coming back from a hamstring injury, surprise inclusion in the squad.
I almost spit out my coconut water. That would have been hilarious.
Poor from Griezmann that, straight at the keeper.
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?
The second foul tonight was definitely a booking. If the ref had have blown for the foul with the first one, told him to watch himself and carry on, no-one would have complained.
10 men is probably the worst scenario for Arsenal to go up against. Especially a team that can defend.
Ozil's attacking effort reminds me of Isco's, so much talent yet they never make a run to help the man after making a pass. There it was 4 on 4 but he still couldn't be bothered to make the forward run.
Alexi LaLas is like the Donald Trump of football commentators.
Is this Micheal Oliver in disguise? Now letting the game go like a local derby after the first 10 minutes. Im expecting a late penalty for Arsenal.
Cheers. Won't see much of him then.
If there's any team you can count on to lose playing an entire match against 10 men, it's Arsenal.
@Red Katie you were pretty much spot on with your Liverpool prediction against Roma, not the exact score but they did destroy them. Thoughts on the Arsenal game result?
As an aside, why doesn't the FS1 broadcast have a red card icon next to the score?
And also, thought that was Adam Sandler in an Arsenal hoodie til the mentioned Carzorla.

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!
Ospina looks like van der sar in his prime.
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.
Thomas was like a freight train there.. ala Rio his last year in a match I don't remember 
Simeone is going to chin this ref in the tunnel.
Thomas looks the part.
that was shocking, it is cheating.
How many fouls do these Arsenal players need to make before getting booked? What is this?
Still no yellow card for Arsenal for blatant yellow card offences...very strange isnt it
Partey looks terrific, slotted into RB like he's been playing there his entire life.
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.
'Great ref' apparently.
Costa already looks like he wants to murder someone.
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.
Madrid need to get Costa on if they are serious about getting an Arsenal player sent off.
Arsenal, such a team of losers.
Is Costa on the bench?
Too soon.
Yes
Costa looks ready to feck someone up.
The speed with which he stood up and that straight face.
$$$$
Apparently played there in four games this season - Atletico kept a clean sheet in three of them.
If this game was reffed properly multiple Arsenal players should have been booked.
Instead he came with an agenda and was licking his chops that an Atleti player was stupid enough to make two yellow card offences

come on, i want Arsenal to go out too, but they haven't really made any worthy of a yellow.
Partey is good. Could have a Kante-esque effect in the PL.
