Lets step it up and get a win.
If la Liga is lost then there's no reason for us to slack in the CL or CDR

Glad we have CR. We look lost without him and Ozil in the field. Best duo in football

we better win this at the very least with the league lost we have more time to focus on this and the cl. a performance resembling last weeks would be the least they could do atm

Dude, you're a Moudrid fan not Madrid fan. You should really Stfu, Just Stfu.

You embarrass us

they improved after pellegrino left

even the game being at the bernabeu i think they won't stand back, they will actually have more of the ball than we think they will

i expect it to be an open game with lots of goals, hopefully they concede more

dont start callejon, hopefully modric and ozil both start

REAL MADRID SQUAD
Goalkeepers: Casillas, Adán y Tomás Mejías.
Defenders: Varane, Coentrão, Carvalho, Marcelo, Arbeloa y Albiol.
Midfielders: Khedira, Alonso, Essien, Callejón, Modric, Kaká, Özil y Di María.
Forwards: Cristiano Ronaldo, Benzema e Higuaín

Bear in mind this is the first of triple header, the next two matches would be away. This is my line-up

Casillas
Arbeloa - Varane - Carvalho - Coentrao
Khedira - Alonso
Di Maria - Ozil - Ronaldo
Benzema

I expect Marcelo to come on at some stage and probably start one of the next two matches at the Mestalla. Di Maria did the press conference and would most likely start the match, I hope Albiol isn't picked he's a disaster waiting to happen.

Casillas would probably sit out most league matches now, he would play all the Champions league and Copa matches i suspect, the rest of the team picks itself.

Why caravlho, he is like total shit everytime he plays, the way he totally disrupts the whole backline, leaving spaces, forcing varane to cover him all the time, dont get me wrong, it will help varane improve, but this is valancia.

Our backine was great and extremely displined when albiol-varane played last match, even though albiol lost tons of headers.

Also marcelo is not ready, coentrao is doing great in defence and is very displined, as long as we have no pepe, coentrao should stay our starting lb.

Marcelo should play as an attacker.

____________Casillas

Arbeloa___Varane___Albiol___Coentrao
_________Khediraa___Alonso
Ozil______Modric_________Ronaldo
_____________Benzema

Marcelo to come later in for either modric or khedria depending on the result,

marcelo is back gtfi

Thank god for Marcelo

I would love that line up especially the top 4.

Real Madrid XI: Casillas; Essien, Albiol, Carvalho, Marcelo; Xabi Alonso, Khedira; Modric, Ozil, Cristiano; Benzema

4-3-1-2 ?

where the fk is varane??

da gawd lb is back

Marcelo
Carvalho

so far

Iker

clearly marcelo needs some time to reach his top form again
he is good nonetheless

Valencia outplayed Real in the first half but they are getting beat.Jonas missed a bad sitter then real hit them on the break not long after.

Jose just can't make his team play possession football,they have better players than Valencia and should be dominating possession.Valencia with 56% possession in the Bernabeu so far.

Banega has been class,Soldado and Tino Costa have been very good too.Valencia could do with a better CB to partner Rami.Even Rami isn't that good,positioning isn't the best and he is not the quickest.

2-0 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>


ozil was fcking beast

Absolutley disgraceful from the linesmen today,Goldado was through on goal THREE times and he called for offside.One of them he was literally 2 yards onside.

Valencia deserved to win that game,thank the linesmen and Jonas that they didn't.

if you see closely to the first posts of the thread you will see i mentioned that they will have a lot of the ball tonight
its probably cause of their new coach, as im aware that he actually did a good job on transforming his previous team into a possession one

yeah the linesman was bad but that doesnt mean they deserved to win lol
i think we had an incident against us too
nonetheless we all know how bad spanish refs/linesmen are so..

Ronaldo wasn't feeling it today, missed two easy chances... nontypical of him.

Carvalho WOW, the guy showed his positioning experience and although his speed is gone, his positioning was superb as he made key interceptions.

Iker made 2 amazing saves!!

Marcelo wasn't on his top form, but i was very happy he wasn't limping or anything, so it seems his recovery has been successful.

Albiol is hopeless

Ozil was good, not at his best, but at his average...

Benz below his top level for sure...

BUT team as a whole is picking itself up!!!!

Copa and UCL
