Asensio is such a poor player. Injuries have ravaged him
La liga 2022/23
- Thread starter carvajal
- Start date
Very boring 1st half.
I think that's not his position though. He is much more comfortable on the left.
Hopefully we'll see the likes of Camavinga, Tchouameni, Modric and Rodrygo play in the second half to give the team a more dynamic approach against more tired legs.
It doesn't explain the crazy shots and poor passing
Huh? Since when did he play on the left? He just isn't that good.
He really is poor
Asensio is killing every attack. Valverde poor as well.
This has been like watching paint dry so far, just as planned for Atleti.
God bless Real for using all their energy at Anfield at least.

Opsss, I mean to say, more like on the hole or second striker, but I think he did well on the left as Hazard substitute whenever he had the chance.
Hazard never played though.
Sub Vini, he ain’t got it today.
Modric, Camavinga, Tchouameni ON.
Yes, it didn't happen often, back then when Vinicius was not ready.
Shocking red card
That's a terrible call
No way that is worthy of red, VAR should check it.
There's nothing in that 
Can’t believe that’s a red
Such a bad decision. VAR won't revert it because the ref seem 100% sure
Var is useless everywhere now. No way this is a red.
Red card for, at best, a little dig in the ribs.
Feck off, lads.
Feck off, lads.
Thats literally nothing.
VAR use has to change for any red card/pen decision, the ref has got to check it again. If he maintains his decision then fair enough
The tool is there but how it's used is fecking ridiculous
Now that's a weak red card. Surprised the commentator is defending it.
Should be yellow card if anything and that's it.
I hate Atletico, and would much rather Real gather some steam and push Barca in the title race, but that's just an absolute farce.
Nothing but rewarding Rudiger for his diving and rolling around. Everything that a non-fan would laugh at in football summed up in one decision. Joke.

Still very obvious elbowing motion regardless. Correa should have known better.
There was not much from Sol Campbell when he elbowed Ole Solskjaer in that Highbury game in 2003, but the conversation between the linesman and Graeme Poll was good to hear when it comes to grabbing their perspective before Campbell got sent off.

On BeIn, the co-commentator said even as a pro Real Madrid, he found the decision shocking
Ok, this replay looks a bit different to the other one, still doubtful.
Yellow card for sure. Rudiger is also a prick, his play acting insured the red card. In fact, it's why he got sent off
The last replay made it seem like the right decision.
It is an easy yellow card
Yeah, if that's a red, there should be a sending off at every second corner kick.
It's the fact he charges up to throw the elbow. It's not that hard, but the gesture itself is worthy of a red card. I think. I mean that's the only explanation
I see it as a very strict, robotic application of the rule whereas common sense should always prevail
They defend very well and are very organized even with 10 men.
Anyway, I only hope that incident will open things up a little more because this game has been a snoozefest so far.
I mean, yeah, i think it's excessive too
