Real Madrid vs Racing Santander

well here we go again before our midweek trip to the Antarctica

Squad list for tomorrows game:

Goalkeepers: Casillas, Adan, Tomas Mejias
Defenders: Carvalho, Varane, Albiol, Pepe, Coentrao, Marcelo, Ramos
Midfielders: Di Maria, Khedira, Xabi Alonso, Ozil, Callejon, Sahin, Granero, Kaka
Forwards: Cristiano Ronaldo, Higuain, Benzema

most notable player included is our little angelito who hasnt played for over 2 month

DiMaria might start tomorrow:

"Di Maria was ready to play some minutes against Levante, but we preferred to allow him to rest some more so that he fully recovered. He's been training well this week and is ready to play tomorrow."

Ramos might play RB tomorrow:

We sustain absences in the right back position, but some of our men can adapt to it. Sergio Ramos has nevertheless played as a right back for years and would find it less hard to adapt now. I have thought about making that change for this match."

we will most possibly see our first team in action:

"I think my men are in perfect form and I don't believe we should make any changes to the starting lineup because we haven't played too many games lately."

Higuain has been in the gym for the past couple of days so i suspect Benz will start

here is the starting line-up i think we will see:


and that's probably the line-up we will use against CSKA on Tuesday with some changes in the backline

so di maria starts? i hope so, i miss da guy i hope ronaldo is ready to get some amazing crosses and convert them to goals

Di maria the assist maestro

Tired of conceding Cheap goals at home..

Need a clean sheet.

Clean sheet or not it's irrelevant.
In the end I want 3 points.

Di Magia on the right + Cris on the left + Mesut in the middle = golden

flying to Russia on Sunday would like to see some rotations made

Resting Xabi and Ozil would be good to see or limiting them to 45.

Would be very relevent actually.hope we get the 3 points.

It's perhaps become an expectation that we concede early and finish strong. Definitely need to break that trend.

Will be worrying if this continues in the CL.

The team definitely needs to improve it's defence. At this point in time, I'd definitely rather us focus on keeping a clean sheet and less on scoring 2/3+ goals. We may have an attack that can bail us out in tough situations, but we need a more structured and disciplined defence right now.

Hope Mourinho's defensive prowess can shine in tomorrow's game.

we usually concede from crosses and we have been without DiMaria for a while maybe that has something to do with it, we concede from corners as well and Khedira has been away, Ronaldo's and Xabi's defending on corners is embarrassing

get those two back and i think we will see less headers go in

we need to cut out the stupid set piece and headed goals.. those are just the goals we should not be conceding

ramos at RB would be a bad idea, imo i hope it doesnt happen id prefer coentrao at RB, even albiol or varane.

iker
coentrao pepe ramos marcelo
khedira granero
di maria kaka ronaldo
higuain

also on conceding goals at home-

i think its not the dumb goals but how poor we have been starting the beginning of the first half the past what 7 matches or so. we have been taking 20-30 minutes to get going.

Varane starts.. yay

Ronaldo (1-0):



Benzema (2-0):



Di Maria (3-0):



Benzema (4-0):

We got our clean sheet and were cruising throughout. Just what we needed before our trip to Moscow.

great game, hope that twist wasnt bad for DiMaria
