Re: Real Betis v Real Madrid

by chad4401 Sun Jan 13, 2019 1:31 pm

The way the team leaks goals wouldn't mind reguillion starting regardless of line up, Marcelo ain't doing much offensively really, give some of the more hard working players a chance and those who want to showboat and jog around being 1-0 down can have a rest

by sportsczy Sun Jan 13, 2019 1:32 pm

The problem Nick is that we really have a hard time scoring. If you take Marcelo out, I think our defense is solid especially with Casemiro in there. I don't see the need for an extra CB.

by Mr Nick09 Sun Jan 13, 2019 1:44 pm

The fullbacks are in there to create width, and i expect Modric and Valverde to make runs forward. anyway, game is starting, so let's see

by Doc Sun Jan 13, 2019 1:45 pm

Nick likes this formation because his love for pacy, wide men has been reignited. Mind you, only 1 of our wide men actually does pacy, wide men things. Lucas is shit, Bale is injured and Asensio is a player at Real Madrid.

Also, I rather Isco as an AM than Modric. Duh.

by sportsczy Sun Jan 13, 2019 2:00 pm

Modric scored lol. Bring out the champagne!!

Valverde is so good in midfield

by FennecFox7 Sun Jan 13, 2019 2:04 pm

Regullion is a beast. Needs to start over marcelo. His hustle and forward play has been great. Valverde too. Fuck man, I love those two

Only bad thing about betis losing like this is due to their stupid mistakes. Aissa Mandi is so composed and calm. He'd be a great third CB for us

You guys are gonna have to tell me what exactly you are seeing in Valverde. Feel like I'm missing out and I don't appreciate missing out.

by Mr Nick09 Sun Jan 13, 2019 2:07 pm

Valverde is doing a good job, nothing special in my eyes so far. He is doing the job of an actual holding midfield, covering grounds and offering passing options. we havent had players of his ink in a long time, maybe that's what people like

Just cleaned up the play and took two players out in his own half under pressure on min 17. sums up his contribution, that and his impressive physique and athleticism despite his age

Decision making is 10/10, he sees everything around him. Sometimes it looks so easy to him

by Mr Nick09 Sun Jan 13, 2019 2:14 pm

Valverde looks like he is much bigger than last year

by Valkyrja Sun Jan 13, 2019 2:15 pm

I would also like him to play a bit more risky, but that will come with more time on the field. He has great talent

by Mr Nick09 Sun Jan 13, 2019 2:20 pm

good performance so far off the ball from the whole team

by Doc Sun Jan 13, 2019 2:25 pm

All this love for Valverde and he misses a 1v1. I feel shit like that always happens whenever we big up a player too much lol.

by The Madrid One Sun Jan 13, 2019 2:29 pm

Doc thinks Ceballos has something to offer other than Acne to this team, no surprise he is still blind to El Pajarito. There is a correlation.

by halamadrid2 Sun Jan 13, 2019 2:39 pm

Nice work off the ball. We've managed to close down all their attacking options. Countering well but need better decision making up top. What was Valverde waiting for on his 1v1?

Hope it's nothing serious with Benz but i know he wont play the 2nd half. He looked like he was in agonizing pain

by chad4401 Sun Jan 13, 2019 2:40 pm

Good first half should be up 2 or 3, it's nice to see everybody committed and working together, if this is the line up the team needs to actually defend properly I'm good with it.

by halamadrid2 Sun Jan 13, 2019 2:44 pm

We've had 29% possession Laughing

by halamadrid2 Sun Jan 13, 2019 2:46 pm

And lol at the ref asking for the assistant to change the added minutes to 2 mins from 1 and then blowing his whistle right on the mark just as Benz managed to walk off the pitch. The refs in this league are so crap

by chad4401 Sun Jan 13, 2019 2:47 pm

Formation change if solari sticks to it a few more weeks possession will improve

Unlike you guys, I do not care who contributes as long as we win. I like Ceballos, nice talent but if Valverde is giving more to the team than him, I personally do not care.

Basically, I'm a proper Madrid fan.

Benzema OUT Cristo IN

we are being led by castilla attack Proud

Vinicius x Cristo

by titosantill Sun Jan 13, 2019 2:54 pm

well, that's what you get when there's little to no depth. anyone who's been supporting this team over the years knows we always have injury issues. one of these days we might have to call the janitors and grounds men to help us complete the squad

by Mr Nick09 Sun Jan 13, 2019 3:12 pm

we are struggling now, while we were in control before and were more dangerous on the counter.
