Real Madrid vs Eibar

Isco disco and Ceballos playing together. Nice. Hopefully we get to see nice football being played finally. Asensio better step uo this game. No excuses. Marcelo finally on the bench after being thr main culprit in both Getafe amd Spurs' goals against us

CR looks like an old man

These guys are so frustrating when they try to force passes to Ronaldo. Ffs just give us a pemalty so that he can get his goal. Like I thought Isco and Ceballos are running the show. Feel like the game is just passing Modric by. He isn't getting involved much. Theo also playing nicely but man his crosses are like rockets

i am wondering if this is CR's last elite season, or maybe last year was. I know his physical prep will see him peak in january and on but he was equally poor and concerning at the start of last season.

We do need a goalscorer, we needed one last summer, and we need to find a guy we can put up there and will score with certainty

CR hasn't gotten the goal not because of his age. He's just not making the correct runs, sports had a good point about his runs being one dimensional. Needs to find space more and not always play on the shoulder

That's too soon to say Nick.

Though if I were to be critical, the writing was on the wall last year. Same for Benz too.

Would have liked Aubameyang or morata to stay once it was clear m'bappe wasn't coming.

Also, asensio and Isco need to be less selfish. CR and some of these other guys are not getting passes because those two want to shoot all the time

i said he looks like an old man because he can't make those/is not making those runs anymore, or at least, not as much as he used to.

bad night for night, looks pissed

I dont think Isco or Asensio are being selfish, even on the last Isco shot, CR was in no position to get the pass.

@turok, you need to stop with Aubameyang, he is not and will never be madrid quality. same with Morata.

zidane and his double left back tactic again, bro it's shit, stop it, 442 blows, fck off

Well that was bad. The silverlining was that Ceballos was once again tremendous and Isco has not lost his form. As for how we played, the less said about it the better. Eibar in the 2nd half had more posession than us, had more patience than us in their build-up and were overall the better team. Too bad their strikers are shit or we would've lost this game Betis style. Theo needs to fix up his crossing, they are embarrassingly bad. He has the making of a great LB, but his crosses let him down. We wouldn't have drawn to Spurs had he started over Marcelo

Mbappe this Mbappe that. He's only scored 1 more goal than Benz this season and played 3 more games. We give Benz shit for doing that, I wonder what people would think of Mbappe

will you admit aguero and lewa arent either?

Didn't think so.

we got bigger problems though. for w/e reason CR7 is simply not scoring. as the main man, this is absolutely unacceptable.

hopefully he returns to form soon.

Do you buy into the Kane hype?

Aguero and Lewndowski are a different class of players compared to those two lol and Lewandowski is even better than Aguero

Aubameyang has nice numbers but he is overrated, and Morata has literally done nothing on his own as a lead striker. He is struggling to keep Batshuayi off his back at chelsea for god sake

happy with the result. concerned about cr's goal scoring duck, quite concerned. especially when we go deeper into the season. i'm sure he can turn this around, but this season more than ever we need his numbers.....last thing we want is a situation where he too starts telling us, his job isn't to score. eibar's keeper was crap lol, so i expected us to get our numbers up today. fine finish from marcelo

Not that it's much of an achievement, but Theo is a much more reliable defender than Marcelo is. With that being said, Eibar were toothless in attack and we could've scored several more goals if our players had been more clinical. Marcelo injected some life into our attack after he came on, and it's this kind of environment that he thrives in. Hopefully, Theo will be fit and ready to play in the CL, because those teams won't be as merciful when our fullbacks park in the final third.

Different class of players? Sure. But consider this.
What has that loser lewandowski accomplished so far since joining Bayern? Yes he got some league titles but the bundesliga is a one horse race. Title is a given for them.

I observe the CL and for all the hype on lewa, he sure disappoints me. Since scoring a hattrick or more against Pepe all those years ago in Mourinho era, lewandowski hasn't had a stand out performance against a proper top team for a long time.

Same for aguero actually. An extremely overrated pos at that too. I talk a lot of shit of higuain, but at least higuain tries. I cannot recall the last time aguero made a moment against a top side in cl either. More effective at ghosting or doing his best dmzema impression.

Aubameyang? This guy consistently scores on us almost every time we see the man all while playing with a lesser talent pool. We are not just any top side. We are THE top side. What is Aubameyang doing that aguero or lewa are too incompetent to accomplish? Is scoring on Madrid that difficult?

I like those who show up against the big time. Such is what is required here at Real Madrid. Such are the only ones who I recognize. Aubameyang is different than those two losers: better than both. Madrid would be wise to take interest if we need more firepower.

As for Morata, he earned his stripes with us last season. I disagree. Morata is new to EPL garbage and he got unlucky with injury. It will be a matter of time before morata establishes himself.

@Nick, I rate Kane as a great striker. Just not suitable for us or the LaLiga. He is where he belongs

And this is what happens when you only look at box scores and not the games.  He's a winger, not a striker at PSG.  Cavani is the central striker with Neymar as the #2.  Mbappe is killing it as a playmaker and winger.  He's not 100% comfortable there yet...  but you just need to look at the PSG CL games to know how he's been.  Best player for PSG in all those games.

The closest equivalent on Real Madrid in terms or role is Isco... although he plays entirely different than Isco in terms of style. He's doing all the dirty work Neymar won't do.

Bad timing  to say that when he was pretty shit yesterday vs Marseille.

And I can’t even compare him to Isco in terms of role because he isn’t that at all, everything PSG un attack goes through Neymar. The guy has a 2016 Westbrook like usage rate, for those who don’t get the reference, Neymar vampiriss the ball. He is a ball hog extraordinaire lol, overdribbles, tries to be Messi.

Remember few years back when CR and Benzema were just  looking for each other on the pitch trying to play one twos all the time? That’s mbappe and Nerman, trying to ostracize Cavani and they suck.

Yeah well the Marseille game was a bad example.  My point is that Mbappe's role is to fill whatever role needs to be filled in any particular game.  He's the jack of all trades on the attack for PSG.  Not easy period, and even less so for a 18 year old on a new team with massive egos and a new superstar (Neymar) who's trying to be Messi (and not doing it well).  

I think that, overall, Mbappe has played really well.  Extremely well in fact.  He's had a couple of off games... but to me, that's because they suddenly asked him to play CF when he hadn't all season for example.  Against OM, I think Emery really did a lazy managing job.  You actually have to plan for a decent opponent you scrub lol.

Great for OM. We're better than I thought. I just know Rudi Garcia won't adjust if other teams figure out how to play us... so I can't get overly excited lol.
