People really need to forget the price tag on Coentrao's head, for now he's an expensive backup player, within a few months if he impresses he will find his place in the starting XI.

The reason mou wants him is because he can run for a whole 90 minutes, reminds me a bit of Di Maria. We already have proper midfield backup, what we don't need are midfielders who would want a starting position as it will create conflict eventually.

I think for the beginning of the season mou will use him as our super sub at minute 60 to either push the ball forward or to defend a lead [the great thing about him is that he can do both].

i would like to see marcelo on the right, but obviously mou has other plans for coentrao

I believe tonight's somewhat awful finishing from Benzema settles this debate.

Can someone please ban this troll. Come on Jack Daniels... he can troll the general section if he wants. Not our problem. But our boards?

Benzema didn't shoot today alot, only headed. Good playmaking/final touch from him tho

Troll gonna troll. Ima go on Barca board right now and say: Since Barca sucked so bad, I guess Valdes, Alves, Abidal, Mascherano, Iniesta, Thiago, Sanchez, etc. are all bad that settles that.

Can't head the ball for sh*t.

Everything else was good. Really appreciated the hustle. Can't say that enough.

I actually think he should be a super sub in the next game but that's just me.

Supersub for who? Higuain? But I agree, in late time he can be extremly clinical. It can hurt them alot. Park the bus for 60 min then drop Benz in, its gonna burn.

We don't have to park the bus but his hold up play is something we can use during the later stages (Benz was finished by the time he came off). I feel that type of hustle is something we can use during the end.

Same with Di Maria. Callejon and Coentrao should start the next game IMO.

lol, like Sports said early on "Benzemas heading is retarded"

Benz needs to practice headers and CR7 his finishing on the ground, he takes too many touches/ time to react

HIs holdup play was very very good.

Yeah, he actually fought for ball, bit unlucky with his scoring attempts tho.

Benzema did almost everything really good, unlucky not to finish his chance

Wow, you guys are so touchy, his finishing was terrible tonight, he had so many opportunities he should have buried atleast two, if that was Higuain it would have been a different scoreline. It's impossible to have a normal conversation in this section unless its a circle jerk I suppose.

But you are very touchy yourself though especially with anything concerning Lionel Messi. Like you, they are some guys who like Benzema as much as you like Messi. Also, why are you on 75%?

you were banned because of trolling, nothing more.

I agree LM he was really horrendous, we should sell him now while we can...

C'mon your trolling is as bad as messi was today :/

I didn't say he had a bad performance I said his finishing was god awful, which it was.

Not sure, apparently insulting someone I guess, even though I get insulted multiple times a day.

Bad match? Apart from Messis lucky goal, he was completly invisible.

He missed 2 free headers, he deserves criticism for his finishing.
