To be fair, it has to be kind of hard to lose your main reference in attack and build a new reliable system to fill the gaps.
Will be interesting to see though.

- Thread starter carvajal
- Start date

We don't have that many options so yeah, we do need them to be in form and have continuity as starters.
€100M on two brazilian players to see them benched by the ghosts of eden hazard and gareth bale is not a good look honestly
I don't get why we didn't immediately put asensio and ceballos on the market back in may
If we can't get Mbappé now, we should go for either CM or a CB(and play 3 at the back)
Apparently Ancelotti is testing Asensio as a midfielder, "interior", let's see how it works.
It could work, he played there briefly for Mallorca.Back 3 this season would be the best bet though.
I'd try Alaba, Nacho and Militao as CBs will be solid defensively with Vasquez and Mendy as wingbacks. 2 of Cas, Valverde and Kroos in CM and Modric in behind Benzema and Hazard or Asensio.
It could work, although I am not a big friend of the 3 in the back. I like the option of attack more and Valverde without being in the same line as Modric. Among different fantasies I would also like to see Mendy as CB and Alaba in midfield
You don’t want that.
Where do you rate him more highly? LB and LCB I imagine.
His build up from the back is really impressive.
He is very good to great at LB, adequate to good at LCB and average in midfield. At least that is my opinion.
As CB he needs a strong partner (not unlike Varane) so i have doubts if it will work with Militao. And i actually rate Militao.
0-1

Or Mendy at LCB and Alaba at LWB, depending on the quality of CB we can get. Need a DLP there, or play Alaba
Bale scores!

So is Bale redeeming himself.
Great pass to Benzema from Alaba btw.
Didn't you see his interview? He don't need redemption
I think a back four of Mendy-Alaba-Militao-Carvajal would work against 90% of your opponents.
Bale almost with the second.
in what sense average? bad decisions, passes ... seeing him so physically exuberant and with quality it seems that with meters to advance he could do well.
Isco's fitness seems to have improved quite a lot as compared to previous seasons.
Isco looking like a proper player again 
We need to score the 2nd, seriously

Theoretically Alaba should be a great 6 or even 8. But he always underwhelmed when put into that position. I wish him well since I like the guy (though he now downgraded to your horrible club
).Are you jealous like Hainer because he kissed the badge?Theoretically Alaba should be a great 6 or even 8. But he always underwhelmed when put into that position. I wish him well since I like the guy (though he now downgraded to your horrible club
In any case I had doubts with Alaba but he has started very well, it seems that he has been here much longer
Welp

So does everyone do these "Cooling Breaks" now? I've not seen these before. Hopefully, juice boxes and oranges are available.
Aaaand they're winning game #3
