Not sure i agree with that penalty descision. Pepe tripped on barragans feet. Bale was trippedat the other end just seconds before. Meh

Penalty should've been given to Bale Laughing

Pepe had to fk it up. Seriously.

by FalcaoPunch Sun Jan 03, 2016 8:19 pm

Meh I think it was a penalty and we were bound to get scored on eventually.

Valencia is just walking through our midfield and defense.

clear pen by Pepe. He doesn't have the pace and then trips on top of the player in such a useless position. Some one had to fk it up. Need Varane asap.

Bale and Ronaldo not taking back enough. Kovacic was brilliant and midfield too was pretty good.

I actually saw Bale track back more than a few times so I can't complain.

Our midfield was good up till the goal. Since then Valencia have been cruising right past them especially on the right side. Pepe/Danilo have been struggling on their side.

Regardless, we started out well and after the goal we were on the ropes

This mentality seriously needs to stop

by Adit Sun Jan 03, 2016 8:26 pm

It's because not staying compact enough. Look at Rafa asking the front three to come back all the time. Only Benzema did it on time, bale is late on tracking back and Ronaldo walks.

Pepe

On a side note, Bale's too was a clear penalty. But like Falcao said, we were bound to concede playing like that.

It's not that Valencia was brilliant, far from it, we were just poor after taking the lead. This is a loser mentality and it needs to stop. It would be a stupid mistake not to take advantage of this chance.

The shape looked good for once... it looked balanced. The issue is that Kroos is useless in ball recovery and Danilo is just useless period.

This may sound outrageous... but Casemiro is more useful than Kroos imo.

by halamadrid2 Sun Jan 03, 2016 8:28 pm

Yepp we cant get too comfortable. Before our goal Valencia were hoofing to midget Paco and when all we did was lose the ball they started believing in themselves and their fans too. At one point in the game they got booed because they couldnt get the ball off us. Barragan is giving Kroos and co a torrid time by just dribbling past them. Need Lucas in for Danilo asap or that right side is going to continue to get slaughtered

by Mr Nick09 Sun Jan 03, 2016 8:29 pm

Marcelo not allowed to move up as well because Ronaldo is not playing wide is another issue that is hurting our offense. We have no presence on the left, in a pure 433, if your wingers dont act like such, you are going to struggle

by Adit Sun Jan 03, 2016 8:30 pm

Valencia were really meh imo. Just kick and rush and it works sadly due to our light weight midfield.

by chad4401 Sun Jan 03, 2016 8:31 pm

everybody in the mid getting dribbled, but only kroos is singled out again smh.

by FalcaoPunch Sun Jan 03, 2016 8:31 pm

I feel like how we are set up especially how we played up to the goal would be even better if Casemiro was in for Kroos.

by Mr Nick09 Sun Jan 03, 2016 8:32 pm

Bale is playing good by the way, credit to him

by Perucho21 Sun Jan 03, 2016 8:34 pm

I agree sports. I think Casemiro would've played great today if he started

by FalcaoPunch Sun Jan 03, 2016 8:39 pm

although the goal is to achieve balance much of the playmaking/creating is falling to Bale.

Bale has to drop deep and create for Ronaldo and Benz. He can't do it all.
