Preseason discussion

Mendy is great. Marcelo can F off if Mendy continues like this

Absolute wonderful half by Mendy. Hazard should take his fat ass and stay on the bloody wing instead of going central. I hope Benz is getting the rust out of the way before the start of the season because i can't take another season with him missing chances left, right and center. A 442 will never work with Modric-Kroos. They are both too slow and easily bypassed

I am hopping onboard the ship out Nacho train. He's done imo, he is betting worse as each game goes

Militao will eventually join the squad. It's either nacho or Vallejo ship one of them out

Hala giving props to a fullback, tears in my eyes

i know Nacho is the 4th CB but isnt your 4th CB supposed to be good? is there a universe where Nacho and Vallejo both leaves this summer? also, this team needs 2 new CMs, Pogba + holding/defensive mid

I hope we don't change too much in the 2nd half. These guys need game practice. Just take out Modric for Kubo and Lucas for Vinicius

Bale is gonna play

Kill me...

Good thing I've been eating healthier lately. Might counter the toll this team has on my health

Bale really finessed his way into the lineup huh

No one wanted to celebrate with Bale except Odri.

He's gonna get benched all season despite being the better RB

That comment about wanting Vazquez above Bale and Asensio aging like milk

Asensio tore something there... what a game

yup, looks like bye bye season for him, poor lad

I swear they put on three players who looked like the same generic regen

Bale looks better than Benzema tbh

So what's the reasoning behind that not being a penalty?

US referees... they use a different rule book. Tbh, there's no consistency in how a game is called anywhere.

What's up with these shitty replays

Odri needs replace Dani, swear this should have happen since last season but whatever. Why I gotta see these scrubs instead of Kubo

Vinicius looks a bit out of control these first 2 games...  needs to settle down and not try so hard to impress ZZ.

That said, he's miles better than Vasquez lol. I just don't want him to leave any opening for Lucas.

Mendy with a 10/10 half, Marcelo comes on and gives a 11/10 performance. Healthy competition will hopefully get Marcelo back to his best

Sad for Asensio, that didn't look good. I am hoping it was an overreaction or that will be the end of his Madrid career guaranteed

Fidalgo played really well. He is pretty neat on the ball. Seoane on the other hand, the less said about him the better

so did that comment really accomplish anything? it led to a verbal tirade from the players agent that the club could do without, sees the coach having to explain himself or clarify what he meant, and now give said player who has been deemed surplus to requirements minutes, and now your winger or forward (or whatever position asensio is supposed to be) comes up injured

what's understood doesn't need to be explained. there are things a manager can be vocal about, without having to risk tucking one's tail between one's legs, and other things that are not necessary at all to even shed much focus on. this was one of those things

mendy looked good, but i still would have liked reguilon to be here. i'm still not sold on an ageing marcelo

Stopped watching after Nacho's red card lol. Looks like it was actually an exciting match I wish I would have continued on.

Neither am i tbh. But you can't deny he looks much fitter this preseason than before and makes an effort to track back. But i can't judge him before i see him in a competitive game against Barca/Atleti/Valencia/Sevilla

Wait, you like Regi? I watched you go into the likes of Isco and you like Regi? Does Regi remind you of your children by chance Tito lol?
