No Sahin

Hmm I wonder what his deal is

Did Sahin injure himself again or did AS lie about him being done with the injury?

No he is just simply still recovering, they obviously don't want to push him

they are gradually getting him back in shape i suppose


btw varane is there, hope he starts

by when is he going to be ready then? do they plan on bringing him on until hes 100 percent? hoope he comes before november, at this point he still has 7 months and a half to play, but i hope hes great by barca la liga match, and new year

only thing i hope is that his knees arent injury prone cuz that will be a hell

prob get his first game in the copa del ray

Forecasted line-up has Ramos and Pepe with Arbeloa in at RB. MF is Khedira Alonso, Cam - Kaka, Wings - Ozil and CR7 with Higgy at CF.

so benz is getting benched

I hope its

Ozil-Kaka-Cr
----Benz-----

BENCH BENZ YESSSSS

No way Benzema gets benched. Unless he's still unfit, he will 100% start. All you need to do is look at Carvalho and Di Maria... both have played meh consistently (which is not Benz' case) and only Di Maria was replaced reluctantly.

With every single Mou team: Need to really earn your starting job. Once that happens, he's invested and will stick with you until it's 100% clear to him that you don't deserve to start.

So break out the kleenex now Pipita fans.

Mou was never happy with Benz to start with. I actually think Benz can get to the bench immedietly. Also, the reason Carvalho and Di Maria are playing is becouse Carvalho is our only ball playing CB and Di Maria was the best at his position before Kaka got healthy...

Callejon isn't better and Di Maria did score a goal vs Dinamo didn't he?

why so much hate on benz?he has been performing well + great passing

really? another benz vs higuain argument??? ffs

Nah... he committed to Benz over the summer by saying that he's the starter going into the season because he's earned it. Never made any public commitment to Benz last year as he was still in the earning process. Also, Callejon was actually better than Di Maria despite Angel's usual random goal (and Callejon wasn't that great; but he made the correct runs at least). Kaka was not playing well at all when he got the start and surprised us all. Di Maria was benched because he forced it on Mou with his play imo. He had to make the move to see if he had better options.

As far as Carvalho, you guys do realize that Pepe is actually the better ball player than him. And the only reason Pepe goes forward more often than Carvalho is that he can recover back... Carvalho has a hard time keeping up right now as it is. Imagine if he actually took risks lol.

Told ya.

Anyway, I would go for

----------------Iker
-Arbeloa-Ramos-Pepe-Marcelo
---------Khedira-Alonso
-----Di Maria-Kaka-Cristiano
--------------Higuain

I think Ozil needs rest, as much as I hate Di Maria, Callejon isnt a likely option. And if Benz starts, it would be just pure stupidity from Mou.

glad i aint the only one who noticed, that its going non stop since higs scored tho hattricks

Asked if he would consider playing Higuain and Benz together, Mou replied "absolutely possible".

I actually thing Ozil rests, Kaka plays AM and we a forward trio of Cr7/Higuain/Benz. That would be fun.

No worries. I can respond and throw just as much venom right back lol.

Benzema is coming back from a knock, ahead of a CL game next week.

Of course he is not going to start, that would be retarded.

However, if i see Lass near the pitch tomorrow, i will be very upset with Mou. That c*nt of a player do not deserve so much attention unless half the team is out. Guys like Granero, Altintop, Khedira and Coentrao are all back, Lass can f off

Benz,Kaka and CR can score,no need to start higuain unless benzema is hurt.he is a much more complete player

yeah so can i, but we will only be viewed as villains cause higs comes from such humble beginnings, and went to benched a aging raul, injury prone rvn, and a adapting huntlaar and benz, brings a tear to my eyes really

Nick -weren't you singing praises of Lass just a few weeks ago. I've always respected your futbol knowledge but I have on occasion noticed you flip flopping on a few players. Is it just a odd moment thing or are you just trying to generate some discussion?

I was singing praises about Lass? I?
