Ramsey doesn't run in straight lines so he definitely is not the best Welshman.

Carvajal and James on the bench. Varane, Pepe and Benzema injured. No Asensio on the bench

Re: Preseason discussion
Only at Madrid do you have Isco, James, Benzema, Kroos and Modric... and now Kovacic... yet Bale is the focal point as the creator
The club where pricetag = how the team is setup regardless of footy data.

It is ridiculously maddening honestly. Real exceptional play making talent around us and we use this linear footballer as our Totti. Jesus take the wheel.

Re: Preseason discussion
For those who say it's predictable and easy being a Madrid fan... haven't been Madrid fans for the past 12 years It's one thing to have limited resources and talent so you can't realistically compete... it's another thing to have the most resources there are and somehow lack common sense almost every single year. It's unbelievable.
Just do the obvious ffs. I don't even expect anything remotely intelligent... just avoid being stupid.

Re: Preseason discussion
Lol at Marcelos goal he was like "god you attackets are so crap this is how it's done por favor"
I dont know who I want less in my team between a Messi on his shittest day and Ronaldo. on one hand you have a guy who walks around like its a stroll in the park and has about 3 successful dribbles out 2356788 causing counters after counters and selfishly takes up all the chances and missing them all. Then on the other hand you have a guy who pretends to track back leaving Kroos marking his own man and the player just 1-2 ahead of Ronaldo with Ronaldo showing absolutely no care in the world of at least pressing Kroos has to shift and we become easy to attack against, he takes all freekicks missing all of them, passes to jibers in africa after a good counter and selfishly takes all the chances instead of passing to a guy who is in a better position and misding all of them embarrassingly
I'll let you guys decide

Re: Preseason discussion
It was always going to be a very ugly transition when CR's skill stopped living up to his personal ambition... that time is coming fast. Let's hope he adapts.

Re: Preseason discussion
God CR was so embarrassing to watch. He should have had AT LEAST a hattrick last night. Bale would have been crucified if he missed that many chances. Tbh I'd be open to RM without both Bale and Ronaldo next year. Something like:
De Gea
Danilo-Varane-Ramos-Marcelo
ModriÄ Kroos
James Isco Hazard
Benzema
Reus could take the Hazard spot as a cheaper option and then Depay in a few years. We're depending too much on Bale and CR7 and the thing is: both of their paces seem unreliable and declining. Their dribbling is absolute shit,it's horrendous to watch. Their only redeeming point is like their heading and finishing. And their finishing isn't even that good, have a look at CR last night or at stats from previous seasons.

Danilo just joined us and has plenty of time to prove his worth, but I definitely agree based on what I've seen from him so far. He doesn't seem to be particularly good defensively, and although he seems ambitious in going forward, there was very little positive end-product from him last night. I definitely prefer Carvajal as a starter, for now at least.

Dani ain't too defensively good either but I agree with the whole "I prefer Dani over Danilo for (insert reasons)" vibe taking place.
The Brasilian needs time to adjust though which I think he would. Faster than we probably think.

typical cr game nothing new, the only difference is he would at least scored 1 or 2 of those chances and get motm, while playing like absolute shit, as i have said many times, the team spend too much time trying to get cr/bale a goal instead of going for the win, if the team continues like this then the league drought will end when cr leaves.

Re: Preseason discussion
cant believe we bought this average Danilo for 30 mill on his last contract too. Barca really dodged a bullet on that one. Meanwhile Juve are about to snap up another Porto defender for 20mill and Gayas buy out clause was less than 20 mill. I dont think we've ever had a defender with the pass accuracy of one of our forwards. Really dissapointing
Jese though looks really sharp. loving his play atm.

Re: Preseason discussion
Yea,Danilo is looking really poor so far,his passing and everything is totally on a different page from rest of the players(exluding like Bale and Illara) but I think he'll settle in.

Remember my impression of Crooktrao when we signed him Doctor, I am rarely proven wrong. I dont like to gloat but that's the blunt truth

Re: Preseason discussion
In all fairness, Coentrao actually played quite well for our UCL title run but yeah I remembered. Still, give him (Danilo) some time before we give him the Bale treatment.

Nah,he'll never have the Bale treatment because we can easily bench/rotate Danilo with Caravaj,unlike shitty Bale who must play cuz of his price tag and the fact that Flo faps to him.

Re: Preseason discussion
It's one thing to start Bale, which i can understand for 100 mil... but to play him as the focal point and the creative general of the team??? In essence, we're putting Bale into a role where he touches the most balls on the team
