If they suspend him, it will be BS. He simply delayed a counter. Just because he was on 4 yellows doesn't mean you can prove he did it intentionally. I think this whole rule is BS anyway. It's part of the game, nothing worse than a tactful foul.
Yeah, the whole rule is dumb. If a player wants to serve his suspension, it's his choice. Why the need to act it out?
Casemiro is one of the best players on the planet. He's the most underrated player of this generation.
If Dani gets an additional game suspension, with his current form it’s not a big deal as long as Ramos is back. Just play this wall : mendy —-Ramos—Varane - Militao
He will be Real Madrid coach one day. Hopefully Zidane stays a long time, but he will be a good successor. Likeable guy. Hopefully he’ll choose his next team wisely and not Man United for example.
Saw a lot of disconnect between the midfield and the other forwards and himself. A lot of hesitation in coming back to receive the ball, a lot of not making runs into the right space or at the right time, a lot of misplaced passes. I don't think one backheel passes changes that for me. It was an ugly game and we somehow pulled out the win due to some individual brilliance from our most important player. Zidane didn't really do well today, and his logic for excluding Bale and James when they're not fully fit yet starting Lucas in his first appearance back doesn't add up to me. Lastly, Casemiro is the most influential midfielder that has played for us in my time watching this team. He is not the most talented, nor the most flashy, but I haven't seen a midfielder impact the game and is so vital to our success as him. Modric had a really good game as well, but Kroos wasn't his usual self.
Casemiro is a rock - to me he’s always been this good, always an aerial threat with a good shot. I always laughed at those who thought Llorente was better and should replace him.. wtf they were thinking ..
Let's not insult one player to make another look good. Yes Casemiro is marvellous. But Llorente is an excellent player too and he's already showed that with us. The best would probably have been to have both with us but Llorente was ultimately too good to sit on the bench and play 100 mins per season. He made a terrible career move no doubt because he wanted to stay in Madrid. But he has to leave that dump. Many teams are in need of a player like him. We on the other hand are set for a good 4-5 seasons with Casemiro so there is no hurry to phase him out
Llorente had no future here as a starter with Casemiro on the team. Casemiro is only 27 years old.. Llorente was overrated here.. Herrera who they got for free plays a lot more than him..
Spot on analysis. Jovic is in a bad state. Not sure whats going with him or how zidane handles it (taking him out for benzema was not a good idea). How LV stay on the pitch is mind-blowing. If we win La Liga they should name after zidane's a$$, because he got luck more than brains.... I'm very fearful if casemiro get hurt. He plays every fu(king game ... In all, 3 points good for the team.
Casemiro and Valverde are at this moment the best 2 midfielders in the world. We will win everything again due to our midfield
Not to disagree with your comments on him, but what Jovic did I would describe as individual brilliance. Got to recognise that as important too. Also would agree with Lucas, but he provided the key cross, where Carvajal, Marcelo and others failed. He also did his job defensively, and we all know that is why he’s there, he’s the security. Not that I want to see too much of him.
Never thought I'd say this but Vinicius did really well in the time that he was on the pitch. Great pace, direct, made things happen, and should have had an assist if Kroos buried that chance. Still too many glaring weaknesses in his game for my liking, but he was alright. And way better than Rodrygo tonight. I would also like to see a comeback of the 5 midfielder formation. That 3 man midfield without Fede and then Rodrygo and Vazquez in attack was so uninspiring. Would love to see Modric as the right forward, Hazard as the left forward, and James/Isco/Asensio as their backups.
