Re: Real Betis vs Real Madrid
At last please start to get some momentum going. Too many times this season we have one great game followed by two poor ones. Why is Marcelo starting and Ceballos still can't get any minutes ffs. He's been better than Kovacic
Is Ronaldo actually finally back or is his form just restricted to the confines of CL, we shall see

Re: Real Betis vs Real Madrid
Ronaldo isn't actually "back" though. Aside from those goals, I didn't feel he had any impact on the game.
I'm more excited about the fact that Benzema has been benched for once. At least with Ronaldo, he guarantees goals even when he doesn't play well. But Benzema is simply a waste of skin so it really feels great to not see his name in the starting XI for a change.

Re: Real Betis vs Real Madrid
Bale has a stronger case to start than Benzema though.
However, I know I'm getting excited over nothing. Let's not kid ourselves here, Zidane is benching him for rotation purposes and the fact that we have 4 games in 10 days, not because of his horrendous form.
So if you really think about it, he's 'saving' him and keeping him fresh for the tougher games

Bet we would struggle today. Just...could see it happening. Madrid fans, a lot of us, are still in a state of euphoria and are forgetting our actual form this season.

Re: Real Betis vs Real Madrid
Maybe it's just me, but every time someone shoots at Navas, I assume that he'll either fail to save it, or he'll punch the ball back to the opposing team. I used to think fast reflexes was his strongest advantage, but I'm not so sure anymore.

Casemiro has been our worst player this year

this double pivot is poor.
casemiro is playing like shite and Kovacic is very disappointing.

Yup, ridiculous to think we turned a corner, a page or even our body. Betis is properly beating us.

Re: Real Betis vs Real Madrid
Kovacic is one of the most talented young CMs in midfield but his football sense and ability to lead and run the team is well below par. It does not seem to be improving.

What rubbish am I seeing. Kova can pack his bag, tonight. He's had a terrible season, no progress whatsoever. Bale jogging about on the field and Ronaldo sleeping in an offside position. Don't get me started on our defence Carvajal

Joaquin at the age of 55 is outplaying us. Fecking embarrasing

Re: Real Betis vs Real Madrid
This double pivot is absolute cancer. Kova just doesn't have that CM mind to dictate the midfield and Casemiro has been doing shit all season so this is a normal shit match from him.
That being said, totally enjoy Betis' football. Just really nice stuff. I wish we had the squad to play like that

Setien schooling Zidane, it's hard to believe Zidane has made it this long and won what he won being such a mediocre coach, but this is what a legendary team can achieve when they are motivated and dont hate their manager, sigh

I cant believe Ronaldo was so lazy getting back in an onside position for his goal. Just reeks of idgaf.
Offensively and defensively this midfield has been a disaster

Kovacic ain't no CM, only special ability he has is to run in a straight line when given space and assists near the edge of the box. No CM mind or passing ability and he hasn't had marked improvements in years. Out.

And what's worse, I have to read a whole crock of shit on a known forum about how Zidane is still a "good tactician".

Casemiro looks like he is a walking Zombie, and of course, Zidane hates Llorente, not even on the bench

Vintage Carvajal run, right there. Good to know he's still capable of making such runs.

And Asensio, terrific finisher, the rest of his game though... im not sure it's that good, but he scores, so who cares right?
