El Clasico 18/19

When I wake up tomorrow no more JLO and finally put an end to the Spanish revolution.

nothing has happened, we won a lot, end of cycle, happens all the time

Ronaldo left. That's what happened.

Flo def needs to be held accountable for bringing in Numptegui.

Enter the Conte era.

Also Suarez ffs lad still got this .

Losing 5-1 to a Messi-less Barca

Numptegui

this makes me wonders is suarez like slavezema cuckold by messi?

Barca learning it's simple certain players eating up minutes when they deserved to be off the field, and players who needs minutes keep getting subbed.

JLO lost the team thanks to his Spanish bias, isco/asensio gonna have an important role in the team when they are bench players at best bale keeps getting hauled off for no reason, it's a joke and the way Navas lost his starting spot pro didn't go too well but that on Flo.

Navas was actually very very solid imo. Don't know why Madrid tinkered with the position they least needed to.

Anyway wasn't even that mad outside of screaming at how shit isco is and how many more seasons do I have to watch that scrub spinning in circle = best player in a madrid shirt lmao, even LA liga scrubs creates better chances than us nowadays.

Anyways I'm gonna chill out on madrid for a few weeks or until isco/asensio gets perms benched.

The loss of Ronaldo may be part of the reason, but he was getting older, just like our other veterans that are still starters. Our gradually declining pressing game is not a result of Ronaldo leaving. Neither is our lack of depth, or or any of the other problems we're facing this season. We don't have a single player in their prime. Well.. maybe Isco. Other than that..

We don't have a lot of depth, to be fair. We've gradually sold players that thanklessly provided depth for us, and brought in players that may or not pay off in the long run. A good deal of our starters clearly don't have the pace, stamina and general fitness that they once had, but evidently they're still rated just as highly by many, since they won the Champions League only last season.

Flo should bring in Wenger. Wenger worked wonder with worse scrubs.

Probably because they saw a rare opportunity to get Courtois for cheap, as opposed to having to buy an expensive, younger backup in the not so distant future.

That on Flo lucifer Navas just isn't hyped enough for him. Thibu is a good keeper but he just seems awkward playing with us slow and clunky, Navas needs to be starting he sweeps a lot of the mistake the CBS make while Thibu is too slow to do anything other than make saves.

We had Ronaldo last season and were still lagging 17 points behind Barca by the end. We have some serious structural and personnel issues dating back to last season. We then sell the player who scores about 50% or more of our goals and expect this 17 point gap to close by, what, magic?

Thimmy true the team lacks pace and depth, but it's more to it than that it's the style of play and decision making that destroying the season tbh,too many players dwell on the ball too much, wasting runs and chances, when the team plays quick they create quality chances, when you a have players like asensio and isco getting so many touches in key areas they slow down the game too much, same with modric, Marcelo and carvajal(shit) at times, some players need to gtfo and reshape the team dynamics

6-2
5-0
4-0
5-1

We hand out this type of trashing to Madrid every other year now. lol

Lastly too many Spanish scrubs are on the team, tired of this wanna be barca shit, every time we try to make the team more Spanish, it gets worse because Spanish are biased to each other and rather ruin an attack to force the ball to one of their country man like Lucas pass to isco when Benz is running straight to goal, we need to stick to counter attacks and direct football, we don't have the players for possessions football cause the players play to slowly look at the first goal conceded today when the last we created a chance like that? With the possession the team is hogging?

That's right

The Spaniards are not passing to Benzema, THAT is Real's problem

what a shit poster why dont you stay gone lol, wherever you were

came back when we stopped winning just to complain ffs lol

Why would anyone pass to Benzema anyway? Who in their right mind would have confidence in Benzema to score? The guy is almost a guaranteed miss waiting to happen.

Isco has been pretty crap but so has been all of Madrid, so really unfair to put the blame on him. He has quality and has proved it.

What I don't get, is if Barca is playing a slow midfielder as RB, why not put Bale as a LW instead of equally slow Isco? No way Sergi would be able to do anything going forward worrying about Bale's speed. That alone would change everything imo, with Vasquez as the RW and Mariano as your starting CF. Would change the dynamic completely to your attack and how we approach them. With Ron gone, I thought Bale would finally slot back to his natural LW role, but instead ya'll add midfielders to that spot with Isco or Ascenio. Better off benching Kroos if you need to start one of those 2 as oppose to playing them as wingers. It's like when Barca did the same with Iniesta as a LW; it worked sometimes but seriously limited his strengths and was just stupid in the long run to not slot him back to the midfield.

And no ones mentioned Ramos? Dude can score without a doubt but jesus is he garunteed to be out of position 1/4 of every match (at the least).

I thought we played brilliantly first half. Controlled the ball and the game. Excellent movement and exposed Nacho on their right all half. So not sure why we decided to play for the 2-0 in the second half. Granted the tactical switch Madrid made by switching to 3 and bringing on Lucas made a difference but we definitely backed off. It took us 15 minutes to start attacking again. Great sub by Valverde to bring on Semedo. That freed Roberto to go on his runs from deep which is what he is really good at. And then he brings on Dembele to expose Madrid down the left. Good tactical changes by Valverde to respond to Madrid's change. We played on the counter attack after that and destroyed them. It is not my favorite way of play. I would much rather play the way we did first half but fair play. Once more, we prove that we can play well and win well against the best without Messi.

On Madrid, shocking performance especially from the midfield. Once more, Modric and Kroos get owned by our midfield. How may times has Rakitic owned Modric?
And I cant wait for the day Marcelo retires. Outstanding player and the best LB I have seen.

You weren't that great. Real were that bad.

Once they somewhat got their act together, all of sudden it turns out you can't dominate for shit

It's a Clasico. Form goes out the window. We played really well barring the first 15 minutes of the second half. It was a good tactical switch but we also decided to back off. once Valverde adjusted, we dominated again. Guess, we were also not great against Inter.

No need for tactic talk. we were just sh*t.

a bunch of unmotivated lazy frightened scrubs naming themselves a team.

actually Barca didn't play that good. after 3-1 we just gave up.

if it was Pep's Barca we could've lost 10-1 and i'm not joking.
