Cahiers de Doleance.

Be it a match or a trend you noticed over the course of the season.....what peeved you the most.

no real complaints but i think mourinho could have rotated the squad more/ better

and not playing sahin is a crime

The lack of Sahin is my only complaint.

I expect him to be an integral player next season.

...and choking in the penalty shootout

Ramos fkiiiiiiiiiiiiing penalty is a a picture i cant get rid of yet, sahin not playing even as little as granero was just criminal. the tactics used in copa del ray against barca.

Sahin not really playing.
And Di Maria's dribbling from time to time.

OH MY GOD, Di magia, how can i forget this thing, every frekin time he plays, it was pure tourcher to watch, every time he got and lost the ball, i wanted to strangle.

I am such a hatter, i just cant stop, we must sign another attacker FFS.

Lack of Sahin and Varane
Di Maria injury

Too much CR7
Too much Pepe
Too much Xabi

Xabi never getting rest (which is a good/bad thing) depending on how you look at it.

But Di Maria is what mostly made me try to pull my hair out. He had some great and fantastic performances against.... lower table teams. Come the big dogs he tends to disappear. It could be he gets anxious/nervous. But rarely ever gets a good cross in and loses the ball.

Di Maria's two best games this season

Malaga
Atletico

= big game choker....

i don't count the bayern games, he just came back from a injury.... and if we look at last season, he was brilliant in our big games

Our resort to long balls in big games (Barca and Bayern for example) when we could play easily within 10-15 yards and build forward.

And wiser choice of possession *especially in the final 3rd* in the greater picture.

For us to focus on our style it looks like we'll have to wait until Mourinho leaves.

Squad should me rotated more often. Fatigue hurt us a lot.

hatred for Di Maria is too damn high
thank God we have Mourinho who will keep him

i would say our lack of youth teamers at the end of the season
Mourinho played none of our youth even though they had dead weight games
we have to do some promoting for next season

UH-OH???

The most annoying thing for me was conceeding a 1 or 2 goals even when we were 5-6 goals up...
Sahin not playing and I felt that we should have played more youth players in first team football.

well not too many .. we have done pretty well in our season targets even though we fell short in a couple of them . still a productive season

my primary complaint is our set piece defending and our vulnerability to crosses . now maybe the latter is because our fullbacks get too forward and arent there to block the crosses but we really should be able to clear a lot of them away

and our set piece defending really should be better , given that we have good height in the squad , have some of the best headers in the game , and i sort of thought jose would be adept in such aspects

Because we want results now, and bringing in carvajal (who is great but inexperienced) is a big risk compared to the 26 year old and already big league tested Piszczek

first pizceez whatever didnt play in la liga, fullbacks in la liga operate differently.

Caravjal style of play is very similer to the way we play. I beleave he will shock every non fan if he starts for us right now.

I see something really specail, i have lost count how many assists he made this season. he is truely something special, our best castilla player by a margin.

Piszczek is not La liga proven?

maybe you have lost count of how many assists because you dont actually watch games and only watch youtube clips?

I do wonder if Kyle Walker and Mario Fernandes are La liga proven

I have always said Carvajal is about a year or 2 away from starting, Arbeloa is 29 and in 2-3 years he wont be able to keep up with the game
i say integrate Carvajal from this year onwards
