Lass and Sahin to come on once we score 1 or 2 and just completely rock the midfield, Benzema left for late in the game

In this one Marcelo>Coentrao.
I like this 11 especially that Khedira used to go forward these last times but lack a lot of technics on the edge of the box. It would be better if we had Sahin in good shape.
Otherwise, Mou won't play with Pepe as DM, we are much better organised than the CPR final and we all saw how we raped them in the SC by pressing high and organised.

And I'd take Benzem'as overall ability over Higuains finishing anyday.

It's exactly why Benz should start.

If benz is rested or comes off shortly after halftime during the Ajax game, he'll start. If he goes the regular 70 mins, he'll come off the bench.

Besides, have you guys noticed that they guy coming in the second half is scoring more lately? The starting CF kills the CBs physically by making run after run and the replacement just destroys them to end the game...

It's often Benz job to get the CB weacked, he moves a lot around the box and on both wings, so marking him is a very difficult mission. Btw, idk how much CR scores when Benz plays, but i'm sure it's more than when he is paired to Higgy. Benz creates a lot of spaces for el Don.
I see Benz starting, commonly he started big games (was a starter in the two SC games)

Nice sig sports

Honestly, i don't see a problem starting one or the other. They're both in the top 5 CFs in the world right now... it's just a question of which style is preferred based on our tactics. If tactics don't really matter, it's whoever's turn it is. I don't think we can go wrong by choosing one over the other... they've both proven their quality to me.

......................................Casillas..............................

......Arbeloa.............Ramos..........Pepe...........Marcelo

.........................Alonso.................Khedira.........

....Di Maria.....................Ozil......................Ronaldo.

..................................Benz..................................

Is my choice if everyone is fit and available for that match

Our typical 11 !! Hope Di Maria will be in a good day

Yeah agree !! they didn't leave a chance to choose between them.
But, i see Mou playing with Benz

Yeah I think Benz will be the one starting, and Higuain subbed sometime in second half

Hope Higuain starts need someone who can take his chances

Either can start. I can honestly say I trust both at this point.

same here, its like out of 10000 points, benz has 9500 and higuain also has 9500. not a point more, not a point less.

This guy can really be petulant at times.

I really hope we win seeing his disjointed face after he loses is fun.

Bad loosers !!
The video miss how he spit out a yard away from Mou !!

I see many of us getting ahead of ourselves.
Let's take it one step at a time.

I love seeing close ups of Messi's face when he loses. Priceless every time.

----------------Casillas--------------------
-Arbeloa - Ramos - Pepe - Marcelo
------ Khedira --------- Xabi ------------
---Benzema--- Ozil -------- Ronaldo
----------------Higuain ---------------

My ultimate line up would be:

---------------Casillas------------------
Di Maria - Ramos - Pepe - Marcelo
---------Sahin--------Xabi------------
---Benzema - Kaka ------ Ronaldo
-------------- Higuain,

But that ain't ever happening.

Your ultimate line up is amazing xD (Needs more Ozil though lol)

This is actually a good thing.......

Festim is here, last time i saw him was before the 5-0 is when he said and i quote......

" Anyone that thinks Barcelona can score more than 2 against a Mourinho team is an idiot "

Not to burst anyone's bubble but Real Madrid can lose this game quite normal. Barcelona have a nasty habit of showing up for big games and this is no different. Our fanbase here has always been "up in your face" types but I realise certain posters have been acting a bit....cocky lately to say the least. I would like to suggest said individuals take it easy for a bit as I can assure you, the backlash of Barcelona beating Real Madrid in the Bernabeu would not be easy to swallow....


Just a doc's humble advise on these matters....

There's nothing wrong with believing that Real Madrid will win at home. However I do think being cocky before the game even starts is wrong.

Thinking about the Clasico when we still have other teams to play is cocky as well.

tbh ramos as a CB might make this classico different from the others..

I would also like to see Coentrao as a DM to cover Marcelo and bitch on alves.

best possible lineup imo
------------Casillas------------
Lass--Pepe-----Ramos-Marcelo
----Khedira---Xabi---Coentrao--
Ronaldo-----Benzema-Di Maria

Ozil always sucked vs barca imo,he cant take on pressure.

Ozil was major part of super cup games we dominated this year.I dont understand how he sucked against barca all the time argument.Sure his lack of stamina affects him in second half but he wasnt that bad against them in recent games,having scored a goal from open play in first leg also.
