Granada vs Real Madrid discussion

Ronaldo was playing in the middle. Don't know if this was tactical or just he thought he might get some goals but it backfired. Higuain was ineffective because of this in the 1st half as he couldn't find space. Then the service from Di Maria, Modric and later Callejon was a joke.

Ozil was missed which goes without saying

I struggled to find Di Maria on the pitch in the first half, he was that much invisible.

Pathetic. They should all be stripped a weeks wages for a performance like that.

Last season he was so good, Maybe it's because of Arbeloa he is struggling this season but very poor season so far

Arbeloa was playing last season too. Thing with Di Maria is he's simply too haphazard and wasteful. He was simply just an automated crossing machine, just randomly crossing all game.

In terms of Ronaldo, I think he should have stayed at LW. At times our midfield/attack was all over the place.

That happens when you're not really up for it. Judging this team's level is so difficult. We win a home game 4-0 only to lose away to some minnow in a game we clearly weren't focusing on. It's frustrating.

Benzema isn't clinical in clutch moments.. He is a poor finisher. Shocking shocking miss..

what happened to mourinho being a master in motivating his team? this was not the first lethargic performance and will not be the last. i am surprised at how long it is taking to leapfrog atletico. but with mourinho we might not even at all. i wont even say anything about benzema anymore. i dont see us doing anything in the champions league. another wasted season. mourinho needs to leave and take his portuguese party with him.

Benzene should have scored but I feel callejon was being selfish on that opportunity.

Goalie was co,ing right to callejon he should have layed it off sooner.

Benz is very clutch. It was just a bad miss and it happens. I guarantee he will score against United.

Benzema has developed a habit of scoring difficult goals and missing very easy ones, I'd still pick him over Higuain in both legs against United. The teams performance was off that day, and it tends to happen after every clasico, it's tough for both teams, Real and Barcelona have both dropped points after the last clasico.

I believe both teams would probably have made last years finals if there hadn't been any clasico before their vital Champions league semi final second legs.

But I think it's too easy to blame Mourinho for this, seriously: It makes me almost angry when I look at the players. I don't enjoy my job a lot and my salary is a joke in comparison of what the players get, but of course I am motivated and give my best every day. They should be honoured to play for real, not even mentioning of what they get paid.

Nice touch from Ronnie after the match
