CL game against Zagreb

Don't worry, they are too awesome not to get points even if they don't play.

I'm sure a bug will be triggered in uefa's website just for adding both

uefa.com has a fantasy football competition

Guys.... keep in mind that we are playing a team that has never been on the field together. In fact, 3 of them barely play, 1 is just returning from injury for his first Madrid start, and the other is playing RB for the second time this season. All these 4-0 projections are waaaay too optimistic. We may actually lose this game.

Cohesive play is just as important as talent.

You have a point but I still think there is enough there to pull out the win.

It'll still be tough though.

Besides Higuain + Benz starting

Yep. I actually hope Higuain gets a start as a result against Atleti. He deserves a start in a key game.

I think that's the point of these dead games and the CDR, I know they won't magically be awesome but watching our 'other' players with different tactics gives us a great view of the shape of the team. You already knew that though

Adam Lass, Varane, Ramos, Coentrao, Sahin, Xabi Alonso and Khedira, Alley or Christian, Ozil, Benzema, and Higuain .

Adan
Lass Varane Pepe Coentrao
Sahin Alonso
Benzema Ozil Callejon
Higuain

Is it the final lineup? If yeah, I'm (s)excited!
It's like Mou giving us birthday and x-mas presents on the same day

Also, I think the lineup would look like this when attacking:

Adan
Lass Varane Coentrao
Sahin Pepe Alonso
Benzema Ozil Callejon
-------Higuain----------

Benguazil for the first time in RM history together

We'll know the definite starting line-up in 2 hours, I hope CR7 & Xabi don't start as they need to rest. I think also Ramos but I would like to see alongside Varane instead of latter with Pepe.

I googled and found a different lineup:

----------------------Adan----------------------
Ramos-----Varane------Albiol------Coentrao

------------Sahin---------Lass------------------

Callejon----------Ozil-----------------CR7-----

-------------------Higgy-------------------------

If that's true, Mou reads our forum for real We had a thread about how to use Lass in midfield properly
I expect Sahin to play more advanced than Lass compared to Xabi-Lass partnership

Zealous wrote:Sahin and Lass are confirmed starters. Jose said so in the press conference.

Here's what I expect:

----------------------Iker/Adan-----------------
Ramos-----------Pepe------Varane---------Lass
-------------Khedira---------Sahin---------------
Callejon-----------Ozil/Granero------------Ronaldo
-------------------Higuain-----------------------

Benzema and some other scrubs to feature later on.

EDIT: Herp derp lol

Lass + Sahin =

Ramos has played LB before so it will more likely be him at LB. Lets not forget Albiol might start ahead of Pepe.

Mou's lineup

AS and Marca seem like they know that this is the lineup: Adan, Lass, Varane, Ramos, Coentrao, Sahin, Xabi Alonso, Callejon, Ozil, Benzema, and Higuain.

Of course, they could be making it up.

It would have been the perfect occasion to break new ground.

Or not.

Easy, easy win.

Higuain + Benz = sex. If benz had made that acrobatic one, i may have needed to change my underwear. We should really, really play these two together more. Benz was dead at the 75 min mark though lol.

Sahin... very rusty. Did ok. But i expect him to play much better than this.

Callejon is one of those players that is interesting. He's a very good depth player.

A lot of rusty players out there, including Varane, Altintop, Sahin and Granero. So there's no point criticizing them much.

We took a 4-0 lead at the 20 min mark and it was over.

Callejon was superb, easily the best on the field tonight, he gives us what Di Maria gives, I hope Mou gives him a spot against Atleti

Benz Acrobatic, Varane long ball assist, higuain sensational strike, calljeon being poor mans ronaldo.

What a match.

Callejon was amazing.

Varane was good.

Sahin was meh, he showed potential.

Lass was adequate.

Benzema + Higuain were
