----------------------------------

Adán; Arbeloa, Pepe, Ramos, Essien; Di María, Xabi Alonso, Khedira, C. Ronaldo; Özil, Benzema.

Casillas has been dropped, some rumours say he's had a bust up with Mourinho others say he's picked up a knock. Either way, I hope Adan doesn't dissappoint. A clean sheet and three points would do very nicely for the last game of the season.

Mou is a joke ,he is begging to get sacked..

I really hope Casillas is on a knock..

he really wants the press to have a go at him for the entire festive period.

keepers dont pick up knocks that often, most of the times it on the field of play.

interesting, essien at left back again. come on just play nacho there. neither essien or arbeloa are any good at left or right back.

hopefully the forward line performs and takes the pressure of the back line.

lol CR, missed an absolute sitter.

that was close from malaga

am I the only1 who doesn't rate benzema so high ?

what the point of bringing on callejon only to have him play as a left back. he isnt playing as a left wing back or a left winger. he is playing as a left back the same position that arbeloa was playing.

it seem so stupid. he is not a defended if you bring him on you have to change tactics and formation.

I think we were unlucky not to at least get a draw. We created enough chances in the first half. Malaga barely had a shot. Second half Malaga were the better side. Demichelis had a good game.

Wtf is this shit. What did Kaka do besides taking throw ins? Why is Ronald refusing to become a c.f. when he does nothing besides scoring goals? WHEN IS MARCELO BACK? Lol at mou subbing dimaria off when he was behind our best chances and replaces him with a grandpa if he Had subbed in morata then ok but kaka? Who is he kidding. Poor by adan to get beaten for the second and third goal. Our season is over. Thank you UEFA for banning Malaga or else we wouldn't have made it for next season. I'd love to know mous excuses for this one. I mean Joaquin and elisue where raping us on their faking own we are lucky Wellington didn't it would have been worse then

Can the next coach be a madridista through and through please. Getting tired of these money bags

Also it would help of benzema didn't wake up at the end of the game and be awake the whole time. Oh well I guess it wasn't meant to be

as usual pellegrini outclasses mourinho. nothing new. his stubborn views are turning madrid into a joke. lol at those that wanted mourinho instead of keeping pellegrini. i said it years ago and i say it again: we should have kept pellegrini. and lol at perez the businessman with 0 footballing knowledge giving mourinho special treatment. but i think after this season he will be sacked... but more likely mourinho will run away as usual. i am surprised benzema scored that though.. he usually misses those chances.

This is Mourinho's first defeat to Pellegrini in 7 matches, stop acting as if Pelle outclassed Mourinho with some master tactics.

A few points on the game;
Our forwards are misfiring, Ronaldo should have put Real ahead in the first half. Real Madrid created enough chances in the game to have won three matches, but could only score once besides the deflected own goal. I hope the forwards put on their scoring boots if we're to qualify for the CDR next round and against Manchester United.

The defense were troubled in bits and spells but again conceded three goals which could have been better defended, you'll struggle to win matches if you keep conceding that many goals per game. Can't wait to have Marcelo back, he's been missed terribly in defence.

On Casillas, he looked so gloom on the bench, when the team is struggling you'd expect the captain to be inspiring them whether he's playing or on the bench, he had similar expressions in the CDR against Celta.

Mourinho made a few decision that didn't work out on the night but in the long run I believe they were for a good reason, Casillas has been off form for most of the season and needed a kick in the butt, the only problem is that Adan isn't much better, I wouldn't be surprised if another keeper comes in the next transfer window to give Casillas some meaningful competition.

I never really was fond of that Pepe--Ramos partnership. Works against small teams but crumbles against top sides. Now, Pepe for me has been superb ever since the start of the season but Ramos is a joke .
Hotheaded, makes intentional fouls every time he loses 1v1 duels, slow, positionally inept, big mouth. He was mediocre as a rb as he is for CB. The only thing his good at is fouling.

Get Varane in instead.

Bad form says sth to you ? Ramos was the best CB at the Euro and a top 5 CB last season at least.

The sad thing is Ramos is playing well.

He got this idea that Ramos is garbage at the start of the season and it's stuck. He is bad at set pieces, and he doesn't exactly complement Pepe, but if you analyze it from an individual standpoint he's played well.

Pepe has made a multitude of errors this season (as has Ramos) - so there's nothing to constitute him being brilliant - but in his mind Pepe must be brilliant because Ramos is awful.

There's no other rational explanation.

I think one of Pepe/Ramos needs to get benched. Varane needs to start. Pepe and Ramos are too haphazard to play together. The defense just doesn't look solid.

@Le Samourai - Belated Happy b'day my friend. You seem to have recently turned 17.

Who else saw the dancing our defense was doing on the 3rd goal if I'm not mistaken.

Madrid is a crazy place. There is no respect. I started disliking RM not for the results, but for how Madrid(Spanish Madrid fans, media & administration) treats people & coaches in general. Del Bosque then, Pelligrini recently and now Jose. Different culture what can I say?

the coaches and the players say it all the time, the media in spain scrutinises them all the time.

mourinho is the best manager for madrid. anyone else will not be able to handle the pressure both inside the club, administration or management and outside the club, media and fans.

he has been under pressure from the day he arrived. yes, he needs to revisit his tactics and he need to learn as well, but the constant complaint from his players and media and fans is ridiculous.

he won the league a couple months a go as well as the super cup. players need to realise that he is the coach the constant fighting for power makes no sense. he is the coach he has the final say. it should be like this. the coach has never had the final say since we last won the champions league that is why we havent won the title since then.

it is rumoured that mourinho wants to b sacked so that he can recieve a bigger cheque, if this is true he is disgusting, but i doubt he is a coward and would do something like this.

if he doesnt overcome this challenge he will never win anything at any other club or with a country again. his image of winnning and being a man manager will always be questioned

Thanks man.

from triballfootball site:

Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho was sending a message to the board with his dumping of Iker Casillas on Saturday, it is claimed.

Mourinho replaced the club captain with Antonio Adan for the defeat to Malaga.

Marca says Mourinho is convinced Real are paying for not backing him in the summer market and he wanted to send a message to president Florentino Perez with the controversial selection.

The coach is still smarting over Real's refusal to compete with PSG for Lucas Moura and failure to sign an experience keeper to challenge Casillas.

Sources close to the board insist there's no panic from Perez. While upset with the defeat, Real directors will not over-reach and begin interfering in Mourinho's selection policy, no matter how baffling it becomes.
