You know things are bad with Danilo when trapping a ball has become a tedious task.

by sportsczy Wed Apr 20, 2016 9:31 pm

Per usual... without Bale, we have absolutely no speed so the opposition just crowds the middle. So freakin narrow.

by sportsczy Wed Apr 20, 2016 9:35 pm

Need guys to keep drifting wide as opposed to drifting in the middle...

by sportsczy Wed Apr 20, 2016 9:45 pm

Ronaldo made the adjustment... he's actually playing the winger role for once. Good for him.

by sportsczy Wed Apr 20, 2016 9:46 pm

Marcelo needs to start realizing he's supposed to defend ffs.

by Adit Wed Apr 20, 2016 9:49 pm

Looking clueless imo. Lucky goal apart. Ronaldo when stayed wide can be useful. Too bad he wants to camp in box.

Bah Gawd Ronaldo has been absolutely unplayable. What a half from him. We are playing excellent. Absolutely love it

Feel sorry for Danilo though. He has had some misplaced passes and it doesnt help when he gets booed for poor passes from his teammates. He looks frustrated. To top it off the incompetent Clos Gomez gave him a yellow when he didnt even touch anyone

Don't know what game you are watching hala.. We basically created zero chances in the first half. I'm actually struggling to remember a shot on target.

I was going to say. What's even more interesting is that he's got the speed, stamina and skills to do it as shown in the first half. I thought he can no longer do it but clearly I was wrong. Which brings me to this question, why doesn't he do it more often? He did it twice in the first half, and twice he dribbled past the Villarreal defenders and left them in the dirt. He should really do it more, especially when we're struggling to crave out chances inside the box.

I know Danilo has been poor, but the jeers from fans really aren't helping the situation. He can't be this bad. Surely, he's bothered by the recent criticism towards him.

by halamadrid2 Wed Apr 20, 2016 10:01 pm

@adit, Lucas' shot that sailed over, Benzema's shot on the keeper and Ronaldo's shot that Asensio saved. Bear in my Villarreal have no interest in attacking us and are camped in their half. I say job well done.

Marcelo does 98% of the job so well then comes the final ball/decision and you just cringe. We could have so many more goals a season if his crosses werent so weak or blocked by the 1st defender

Our right side is dead. Everyone ignoring it lmao

by FennecFox7 Wed Apr 20, 2016 10:27 pm

Villarreal's defense is very strong. I'm happy with a 1 or 2-0

by sportsczy Wed Apr 20, 2016 10:44 pm

Very good game... great halftime adjustments. Benz dezoned to pull the defenders out and we rebalanced by emphasizing an attack on the right side. We surprised Villareal with our tactical adjustments and they opened up.

Great win.

zidane good job with the line up :bow:

some posters need to give it up and just admit they don't know anything about football, nitpicking and complaining doesn't mean you know anything, means you just love nitpicking and complaining.

by halamadrid2 Wed Apr 20, 2016 11:28 pm

Hope Ronaldo's injury was no bad. We cant lose him now of all times. If it was the hamstring which it looked like then he will be out for 2 weeks. Cant have that

by chad4401 Wed Apr 20, 2016 11:30 pm

oh and benzema again with a goal and assist yet no mentions again Proud

by Thimmy Wed Apr 20, 2016 11:36 pm

The match was hardly discussed about on here, period Razz

come on man, no one even posted about any player rofl

Should he be rested against Rayo? I think he should, we must aim at CL, i'm not saying we should give up but our primary focus should be the CL, in the league we have to rely both Atleti and Barcelona lose points and we need to win every single match, with Cl between our away games it's complicated , this an opportunity for James or Isco to play in Cristiano's position

by halamadrid2 Thu Apr 21, 2016 5:07 pm

He should definitely rest against Rayo. Jese is more than capable of taking over. Zidane will have to be a conplete wimp to play him after this scare along with Bale and Carvajal
