Meh, I just want the guys to put in their best effort and for you guys not to over-react lol

It's not about hope, it's about expectations

by Mamad Mon Jan 23, 2012 9:07 pm

I hope we go to press them high. atleast we can create some chances on their goal.

our performance in 3-1 loss was way better than the 2-1 one. parking the bus isn't the solution.

by LeVersacci Mon Jan 23, 2012 9:26 pm

Our pressure is not good without Di Maria

Though I don't expect anything from this game like the last one.

I hope we attack atleast...

by StrugaRock Mon Jan 23, 2012 9:43 pm

I hope that we will try to attack in this game at least, we lost some dignity, so lets gain some of it

by S32TABLANCA Mon Jan 23, 2012 10:03 pm

As retarded as Mou sometimes is, he will definately not play defensively again if we are one goal behind Laughing

by Pedram Mon Jan 23, 2012 11:56 pm

Going all out against them in Camp Nou is not a logical idea. i don't say we should play defensive but when they don't give us the ball how can we attack them ?

I want to see a balanced game from Madrid, when they have the ball we should close down spaces and don't let them find a way through our defenders.

by Le Samourai Tue Jan 24, 2012 12:24 am

My idea isn't to keep the ball....t's simply to apply enough defensive pressure to enjoy some possession of it so we can counter....

Once we an do that they have proven quite vulnerable.

Just FYI My full streghth line up

........Varane.........Ramos.........Pepe
Lass.......Sahin/Khedira..........Xabi..............Marcelo
......Ronaldo.......Benz...................Di Maria.

by hrealmadrid Tue Jan 24, 2012 1:37 am

Guys it doesn't look like Pepe is going to play.

by the xcx Tue Jan 24, 2012 2:23 am

Id like to see Varane playing as DM for once. He as all the aspects, only lacks experience.

by Le Samourai Tue Jan 24, 2012 4:21 am

You mean as a Sweeper?

I don't think he'd be too comfortable in distributing with the increased pressure coming from midfield.

We already have Alsonso there....he wouldn't be a destroyer.....he would be the type to Covers and anticipate.

Will only work in a 4-3-3 or 3-5-2 IMO.

by Lord Hades Tue Jan 24, 2012 4:32 am

1-11

by Pedram Tue Jan 24, 2012 8:38 pm

This is what i want to see:

Casillas
Arbeloa Ramos Carvalho Coentrao
Lass Xabi
Marcelo/Di Maria Ozil Ronaldo
Benzema

But knowing Mourinho he'll probably play like this:

Casillas
Arbeloa Carvalho Ramos Marcelo
Lass Xabi Coentrao
Ozil Benzema Ronaldo

by SuperMAG Tue Jan 24, 2012 9:39 pm

Marcelo.

by Onyx Tue Jan 24, 2012 9:46 pm

---------------------Casillas
----Arbeloa-----Varane-----Ramos-----Marcelo
-----------------------Lass
-----------------Ozil---------Sahin
--------Di Maria--------------------Ronaldo
----------------------Benzema

I really like this lineup.It is one to be reckoned with.
But if this is for tomorrow...

I'd expect to see Carvalho instead of Varane (which blows) because I'd love to see Varane play this game. It would be an amazing experience for him.

Sahin won't be there. Although I'm not sure why Mou is taking his sweet time to play Sahin. So in the midfield I expect a Lass/Alonso combo unless we go for a trivote.

No Di Maria and I highly doubt he'd start Callejon. Which again blows.
But hey who knows. Maybe Mou will start Altintop again as RB *shivers

Lets see Most people, at least in Spain want something like this:

--Arbeloa--- Varane---Ramos---Marcelo--

-------------Lass-----------Alonso---------

------Ozill-----------------------Ronaldo--

-----------Benzema---Higuain------------

But that team gets torch by Barca, at least in my opinion.

Mou will probably go with something like this unless he gives in to all the pressure.

--Arbeloa-----Carvalho-----Ramos----Marcelo--

-----Diarra-----Alonso----------Coentrao--------

---Benzema-----Higuain------Ronaldo----------

At least thats the line-up I'm hoping for we'll see.

by SuperMAG Wed Jan 25, 2012 10:19 am

___________Casillas
Arbeloa___Pepe___Ramos___Contrao
_________Lass___Sahin
DiMaria_______Ozil________Ronaldo
___________Benzema

or (if maria not fit)

___________Casillas
Arbeloa___Pepe___Ramos___Contrao
_____Sahin___Lass___Marcelo
Ozil_________Benzema_____Ronaldo

by Zealous Wed Jan 25, 2012 2:17 pm

As possible line up:

--------------------Iker-------------------
-Arbeloa--Varane--Ramos--Marcelo-
---------Pepe/Granero--Xabi----------
Kaka-----------Ozil-----------Cris--------
--------------Benzema-------------------

Lass is a big doubt since he hurt his arm on Monday. Pepe is a doubt as well so he isn't ready Granero will start.

This is all according to As so they could be wrong lol
