Valencia vs Real Madrid

Do you guys think that Mourinho will be using the likes of Sahin, Varane, Callejon, Altintop against Zagreb as we are already qualified or put a full team and score many goals?

I think he will, if he doesn't we have a CDR game in 3 weeks so we will definitely see them start at one point.

Looking forward to see Granero and Adan as both need to get some playing time

Morata and Jese too

I also didn't have problem with Ozil playing on the wing for this game, he played well there & made couple of nice moves, played some good balls from there, & always tracked back. My problem with him was some unnecessary challenges he made in second half, some Valencia players was making the most of it though.

No complaints about him......but a gerneral comment.

He simply cannot play RB.He is too slow.......and although he kinda makes upforit with decent tackling .....it's a red card waiting to happen.

I see no problem with a 3CB system and Di Maria and Marcelo as wingbacks though.When we're trying to maintain a lead that is.

We have a great young CB who we should give minutes to tho so Albiol........

Also Varane is faster and stronger than Albiol......perhaps he is better suited than him to playing RB.


Finally - Benzema : still a bit disappointed with overall finishing.....but another fantastic goal.

Complaints

Khedira as AM is simply a NO.Mourinhio is almost taunting Ozil with that decision.

The Soldado goal.....It's been a problem for a while now and RAMOS needs to fix it. Not saying that it's completely his fault...because Marcelo didnn't make it easy for him........but Messi has done the same thing
to him at least 3 times.He needs to pay attention to strikers coming in from behind him on crosses and not wait for the ball to come to him when it is crossed but move to clear it with more haste.

halamadrid2 is speaking the truth. we were missing di maria. i hope he comes back fit against barca, his pressing and help in the midfield is crucial. özil couldn't replicate it today neither, so that means we don't even have a replacement for his role.

the result might have been 3-1 becouse let's be honest, he does protect his flank alot

X.Alonso has accumulated 4 Yellow cards so far !! that's really bad

i'm sure i saw 5 cards, meaning he is suspended next game (not entirely sure though)

On AS it's written 4, Marca also says 3 before last night game.

He's the most carded player in the squad so i can see him taking one more in these two games !! I prefer he gets booked against Pathético even voluntarily.

It would be good if he could get carded vs Atletico because it is vs Barcelona that we need him. (Gijon should be an easy match)

Perhaps Mourinho should rest him both vs Atletico and Gijon bacause he has played a lot of match this season and he need him fully fit for Barcelona.

Concerning Di Maria is expected to come back for the Barcelona match itself. So it is highly unprobable for him to feature vs Barcelona as he will be playing after one month of absence.

As Ozil has not been very convincing on the wing we have until 12 december to find an alternative to Di Maria.

how do they manage to have the 2nd goal?

Gijon easy away? Have they been bad this season or what? From what I recall we lost against them last season, they are a well known provocative park the bus team. Teams we hate.

^THIS.

Any team that beats Mourinhio at home, regardless of the circumstances is not easy.....

Preciado will do anything possible to beat Mourinhio.

Expect a pretty hectic couple of weeks.

I know this is kind of funny, but I'd rather rest players vs Atletico than Gijon. Atletico are pathetico for real, no matter what they do they are hopeless

Don't wanna get cocky though. But I mean it.

Even if Atletico don't appear to be a danger, I don't think the fans will agree to have players rested vs our rival. (even if they are pathetic, they remain a rival)

What is sure is we have three weeks before the Barcelona match and we will surely need to rest some of our key players (Xabi, Ramos, Casillas, Ronaldo)

We have the match vs Ajax just before Barcelona and it appears ideal to me to use a "B-team" before the big match.

xabi needs to either get a yellow in the athletico game or sit sporting

Agree !! The Atmosphere at El Molinon will be 100 times infernal that Valencia's game, so it's little bit difficult for Xabi to not get booked. He has to take his 5th card against Patético.

btw first goal was a ramos mistake,he allowed the forward to get behind him.

second goal ramos had partially some fault too,should be covering Soldado

It's a little flaw in his game at defending crosses in open play IMO.

Sits and waits for the cross to come in instead of pursuing the ball/covering the striker.

Also he should be covering the post and not leave any space in front of him.

Minor flaw but he needs to fix it cuz messi always makes those late jinking diagonal runs off crosses....................
