Re: The Official Real Madrid 21-22 Match Day Thread
Is it really winnable? I have a hard time imagining anybody outside of Bayern and the English teams winning this year.

Re: The Official Real Madrid 21-22 Match Day Thread
I look at it this way. 4 months ago, almost everyone on GL, including several from this section were saying the team was crap and wouldn’t win anything! Liga was only shot and that was said to be out of question against the same team that was roundly taken care of today.
CL was supposedly out of question. As was the same for all liga teams. However all but Barcelona are doing ok in Europe.
Sports and others were saying the kids weren’t good enough and that defense were not athletic enough and poor.
And now that we are breaking thru on all fronts, the doubts about Carlo are entering the discussion. The same Carlo that Mamad kept putting down as unfit to lead this team.
It remains to be seen, but it no way can this year be deemed a disappointment give the earlier predictions.
And all this is before next summer when we have money to spend, likely getting Mbappe and Rudiger plus more and shedding baggage like Bale, Hazard, Isco and Marcelo!

Great game. We controlled the game from start to finish. Never felt threatened by them at any point in the game. Tibu with a terrific game
Vini with great decision making this season, well done kid

Bayern... I mean what can you tell really with them beating up on Bundi and this Barca. We'll find out in the elimination rounds.
EPL... All but one is flawed. Chelsea needs Kante to be healthy as we've found out recently. City has no true scorer. Liverpool is the most complete one of the bunch.
PSG is the dark horse if they get some semblance of health in the 2nd half of the season.
So you have Bayern, Liverpool, Real Madrid and PSG as the contenders IMO.
Real Madrid needs to keep itself healthy as well, btw. And Militao and Vini need to maintain their current level of performance into the money months.

Re: The Official Real Madrid 21-22 Match Day Thread
I don't trust Carlo with league play Bill... he's disappointed me a lot. Love the man as he's a class act and plays good football. Imo, he was the best manager at PSG by a longshot in the Qatari era.
But the fact that he just won 1 league title with that AC Milan team was really unbelievable to me. I mean really really really really unbelievable.

I was referring to your previous comments throughout summer and in September re Flo, defence, Brazilian kids, midfield, team in general.

Re: The Official Real Madrid 21-22 Match Day Thread
I think at this point it will take an implosion of unseen proportions to lose La Liga. We finally have players that needed to step up 1 or 2 years ago are playing well this season. Not only do we have a huge point lead but we have depth to make it to the end
Unfortunately I still don't see us as UCL contenders. I think we sit right outside the top 5. I don't see KCM holding up against Bayerns, City and Chelsea's midfield. Liverpool as sports said is prob all around the best team. PSG have their individual superstars to get them through

Re: The Official Real Madrid 21-22 Match Day Thread
with the no away goals rule, barring injuries, i think we've got a good shot at the treble tbh.....with the run of form carlo's had, and the fact he can rotate and plug certain areas with players, we can run a mock of the league and cup, and also have players rested for crucial ucl games....based on how carlo has managed the season so far, i dont think that dream is far off.

Re: The Official Real Madrid 21-22 Match Day Thread
i'm not looking at that in terms of squad talent but rather who can get the most rest at crunch time....only bayern can, even psg are facing opponents who give them a tough time. the english teams have to play each other. whilst there is the talk that carlo runs his teams to the ground, if we can expand on out gap at the top, he wouldnt need to, especially if we close out the league early. so squad quality aside, wrapping up the league quickly and getting the most rest puts us as ucl and treble contenders even...i hope

Sure i have to admit we have progressed well and i over reacted to our poor performances at the begining but i still think we as of now are not elite level and honestly there is no top team in LaLiga to test us.

Re: The Official Real Madrid 21-22 Match Day Thread
Well we’re going to find out if we have no chance in CL. Difficult draw (farcical as it was), but beating PSG will be a wakeup call for UEFA and most on GL! The so called dream team vs our inept squad! Plus it wouldn’t surprise me if Patetico over comes Man U.
As I said yesterday, no matter how this season finishes, this team and Carlo have played much much better than all the geniuses here on GL predicted. And they have had to deal with both Tebas and Ceferin doing everything to stop them! Probably including this draw!

We got PSG. Could've been better and Could've been worse (doing my best Owen impression)
We need to have a very healthy lead by the time February comes.
No injuries and rest players in February and March. Got thing we don't have any tough games around those PSG games so we could easily afford to rest our players

Wanted us to win CL last season to show Ceferin and all the other criminal bandits who the boss is but unfortunately ZZ screwed us over and we got thoroughly outplayed by the eventual winners.
This time we get a chance to get our revenge as early as the last 16th
Puppy Pochettino is coming up against a seasoned veteran

Zidane didn't screw you over Chelsea were simply better and would steamroll you just as easily this year as well.

No we are much better than the team that faced Chelsea. Mendy and Ramos both were rushed and clearly not fit. Carvajal was injured. Varane was out. even our 2nd right back ( vasquez ) was out. we played with Vini ( who was not as good as he is now ) as full back on the right side lol.
and a fat unhealthy out of form Hazard was playing on the left side lol. playing a formation we were not used too ( 5-3-2 ) due to injuries.
that team was half a team and Chelsea was the best team in Europe at that time. they are still favorite if we face them imo but it will be a lot closer.

Annoying draw. how we don't win against such weak teams i don't know. Ancelotti has no answer against a team who sits back and does not give us space.

Re: The Official Real Madrid 21-22 Match Day Thread
Ok so the league is adjusting to how Vini plays. He doesn't get 1v1s wide anymore against the fullback or CB. They're zoning him.
They're rightly daring the right side of the attack to make a play... and we suck on the right. Was surprised teams didn't overload the left earlier.
Will be interesting to see how he and Madrid adjust to it.

Correct. or right flank is a joke going forward.
Also what Lucas does in training to even be in the 18 man list is beyond me let alone playing. guy is absolute garbage 90% of the time. can't cross, can't defend, can't dribble, can't shoot, can't pass. waste of space.

Frustrating match and well low blocks are still a huge obstable for us.
Midfield is lacking creativity without Modric.
Cadiz completely shut down Vini and didnt even worry about the right side because Hazard and Lucas were largely ineffective
Not a horrible result but Sevilla are the true winners of this match day

Rodrygo deserves more games. He is clinical, keeps it simple and would’ve put a few chances away. Lucas is a disaster

Rodrygo is out with Covid. Same with Asensio, same with Bale. Only RW available was Lucas or Hazard!

Anyone watching this? Already up 2-0 only seven minutes in thanks to Benz. This is an advanced game rescheduled, another Tebas bullshit to try to hurt Perez.
