edit :guess not

LOL

Diego López; Arbeloa, Pepe, Ramos, Marcelo; Modric, Isco; Di María, Özil, Cristiano Ronaldo; Benzema.

No DM starting.

modric, isco & Di maria in mid eh?

galactico infecting carlo?

it's not like any of our defenders are "smart" either lol. we have arbeloa and marcelo as fullbacks with pepe and ramos asked to be disciplined

how many guys do you really need to attack though... not 8 lol

FFS Di Maria's crossing

Did Carlo find Di Maria's long lost brain

varane is needed in this defense

the movement of the attack is poor, marcelo man marked..

Benzema scoring again. Deserves a chance this season.

we are dominating comfortably WITHOUT a DM lmao. DiMaria and Modric have been our best players. Dimaria yet to have a bad game under Carlo

Marcelo doesn't look very good attacking wise tonight maybe because they are triple teaming him while Ronaldo plays almost as a CF
btw why did the reff not allow the second goal?

Di Maria has looks very sharp
Def trying to make a good impression and giving it his all

Decent performance overall. Just need to improve defensively. A higher line and better pressing should help.

We usually have trouble at Granada for some reason so I'll take the three points with pleasure.

Isco is awesome.

Thought Di Maria and Ozil were our best offensive players in this game, should've had that disallowed goal & assist.
Benzema and Ronaldo still not quite there yet but at least Benzema kept scoring. We need Khedira back soon, and game like this is why we really shouldn't let Coentrao go.
Ancelotti's idea with the subs to protect the lead was understandable but it's obviously not working as it should've been, needed Pepe and the ref to save our asses from losing the point toward the end while we created nothing in attack no more.

I actually think benz played well. our best player was di maria by far.. offensively and defensively\

ronaldo and arbeloa of course were mediocre
