How is Mbappe with penalties? We’ve got to get an alternative to Benzema.

by futbol_bill Wed 20 Apr 2022 - 23:24

Just one more win to clinch!

Unlucky Benz with the penalties. Either he needs to smash them in Zlatan or Ronaldo style or vary the sides. Needs to take out his frustration against City next week

Rodrygo was excellent. When Alaba went off we actually became more solid in the heart of the defence. He is not a CB. Just plsy him as a fullback ffs

From my experience, missed penalties tend to happen in a bunch. A player makes 20 in a row and then misses some... then goes back to making 20 in a row.

Mbappe is fairly good at them. He misses at times though. Tends to happen in a bunch for him too.

Technically, we need at least another win and a draw to win the league. Reason being, Barça has the head-to-head advantage, so Madrid would lose the title if both teams were to end up being tied on points.

We only need 4 more points to be crowned champion and become mathematically unreachable.

Who said Barca will win their game in hand? hmm

If Barca lose points in both tomorrow's game and the one on Sunday then we'll be crowned champions before touching the field

by futbol_bill Thu 21 Apr 2022 - 0:11

Whose to say Barca are the team in 2nd?

by The Demon of Carthage Thu 21 Apr 2022 - 0:20

You're right, I didn't know Barça were going to play their games in hand this week.

Would be cool to be crowned champion before the City game. It would make the team focus only on the CL.

by futbol_bill Thu 21 Apr 2022 - 0:40

That can’t happen! The only games before Chelsea game is Sevilla - Levante and the 2 Barca games. We need the weekend games at end if April to decide it!

However, it sure seems like we get pastillo en metropolitano

by Perucho21 Thu 21 Apr 2022 - 2:43

Hope Alaba isn't seriously injured because our defense is as thin as it is.

No mendy and no Alaba is a possibility. God help us

Just wanna say, wherever Isco goes, I shall be watching that team. His cameo reminded me how talented he is and how much of a fan boy I am.

kroos is a solid pk taker, benzema is solid too, i've only seen hi miss maybe 2 at the most. people miss here and there, as long as it isnt one of those pk shoot outs or miss in a final or semi when u really need the goal, i'm not too bothered. this has been our most dominant league season since 2008.

btw i have a feeling mbappe signs with psg.....i dont wanna believe this is going to be that easy

by halamadrid2 Mon 25 Apr 2022 - 12:17

We are 1 point away from securing LL.

Well done lads. They've been terrific minus a few brainfarts here and there

Reaching the final and winning it will be the icing on the cake. Won't be a failure if we don't win but can't help but feel Benz and Modric deserve to go all the way after the season They've had

by futbol_bill Tue 26 Apr 2022 - 22:00

Watching replays of two city goals, it’s Militao at fault for both. Carvajal has been named re 1st, but he reacted (on wrong side) for what should have been Militao’s man. He didn’t even react yet he was closer.

I think maybe Sports has been right about Militao. Far to many mistakes and worst if all, he doesn’t seem to realize his errors.

Perhaps Rudgier should be replacing Militao rather than Alaba.

by Clutch Tue 26 Apr 2022 - 22:11

Militao is way to reckless on everything he does

by Clutch Tue 26 Apr 2022 - 22:17

Why not put nacho at cb and alaba at CDM?

by Clutch Tue 26 Apr 2022 - 22:49

What are these zidane like subs going on??

by halamadrid2 Tue 26 Apr 2022 - 22:56

We are sooooo lucky to go to Madrid 1 goal down

Man this was a disaster performance

by LeVersacci Tue 26 Apr 2022 - 22:58

Militao is such a fragile player. Never seen a player with such a weak mentality as him.

I don’t know why Kroos played the whole game.

by halamadrid2 Tue 26 Apr 2022 - 22:58

Alaba better play LB next game

by halamadrid2 Tue 26 Apr 2022 - 22:59

Militao was atrocious. Mendy too. Man everytime they ran at him you just knew they'd whip in a cross

by sportsczy Tue 26 Apr 2022 - 23:03

Honestly, we need a brand new back 4 lol. OK... Alaba / Mendy at LB is solid. So 3 at least.

Rudiger alone isn't enough.

by halamadrid2 Tue 26 Apr 2022 - 23:04

Teams protect their back 4 by pressing high. We invite pressure by having a low defensive block. It's suicide. It's never worked

by sportsczy Tue 26 Apr 2022 - 23:06

Can you imagine pressing high with our geriatric midfield and this back 4? It would be worse.

Pressing isn't the issue. Our CBs decide to get aggressive in weird times.

Kroos playing holding mid doesn't help either lol.

by Turok_TTZ Tue 26 Apr 2022 - 23:12

A tough game for sure. I didn't expect such a failing from militao however. Then again he is 24. Rather young for his position and thus prone to mistakes. But this isn't the first time he's made such mistakes this season.

If he plays like that again, he could very well cost us the 2nd leg. Carlo needs to have a sit down with militao. In times like this I wish we still had Ramos.

City have done well to take advantage of the chances they got against us but not finishing us off is the one mistake they will regret.

We will triumph at home. Make no mistake about that.

by Perucho21 Tue 26 Apr 2022 - 23:23

Militao decided to have a completely shit night. At fault for the first 2 goals.

Kroos getting manhandled. Casemiro will be back in the second leg.

Being 1 goal down is quite a blessing
