Camavinga would make a big difference imo. And Miguel couldn't be doing worse than Nacho
It's an easy battering alright
they can score the 3rd now so i can turn off the tv, have a wank and go to sleepLa liga 2021/22
- Thread starter carvajal
- Start date

Folks, this is not the CL final… Madrid may even lose 0-5 tonight and then stroll to win the title, panolada or not.
We’re going to lose two chumps in Pogba and Lingard so we’d be winning in net chumps.
Right?They were only shit for 5 minutes.
Their banter era lasted just a couple of months ffs.
What it also highlights even more is, despite a good 30 minutes against PSG, our midfield is old and finished, not to mention we need a new RB.
Real Madrid are completely lost without Benzema when they have the ball in the opponent's half. It's almost like they're playing a man down, no one is taking up the few dangerous positions Barcelona's been offering them.
Thats how big clubs are supposed to act. Sort their shit out and not romanticize everything. They took the L at the right time and moved on. Unlike some clubs that keep hoping for miracles to happen.Right?

Chelsea would eat this aging RM side for breakfast in CL games.
Xavi has done a great job, tbh thought he'd be barca's Ole but they are playing great. They'll finally have Europa league in their trophy cabinet this season.

This could potentially be good for us though, first for this season if Ancelotti stops being a mule and makes the necessary adjustments this team needs - Lucas over Carvajal to start with, and more Camavinga - and for next if this game convinces Flo that A) we need a CB, a RWB and a midfielder more than we need Haaland and B) Ancelotti should not be our manager next season
We are completely lost in general against opposition above a certain level, you will see that against Chelsea, even with Benzema back.
Barca look phenomenal, my word what a job by xavi.
Dream on there’s only one Ole and we are the chosen ones to have had him bestowed upon us as a manager.
They've still been dodgy at home in Europe this year so there's still a chance they won't the Europa.
and that'll be the highlight of our season.True that makes him completely unpredictable because you never know if he will cut inside or just go wide and put in a cross like for the 1-0. If he wasn't likely to ask for mad wages I would say give it a shot, after all on the right is where we desperately need attacking quality.
Bayern would disagree with that.Right?
Their banter era lasted just a couple of months ffs.
Then again, we do need a new striker also, Benzema isn't getting any younger, and to the extent he has injury problems, they will not get better at this age.
On the occasion, their incomparable experience at that level and beyond would make it a bit harder for any oppo.
No please, we need RM to have Haaland. I might just stop watching the PL if City get Haaland.
For sure, all the more reason to consider Benzema even more. Real Madrid will need much more than Mbapp in terms of investment this summer.
He's been great for the past two months when his heads been in it and he's stayed fit and you think he's playing for a contract. Once he does get a new deal or move to a new club, he won't be this motivated or fit.
They are not coached to do it. Also doesn't help Ancelotti decided to try the Modric/Valverde combo of false 9s.....
As for the midfield, yep, it's slow(aside from Fede), which is why it needs Camavinga for games like this, but the biggest problem is that our pressing is so shambolic a blind 5 year old could figure out how to exploit it.
And then there's the weakness of the WBS, which is dragging everything down
Camavinga and Mariano warming up.
Ancelotti better changes something soon.

I have to admit I don't get what Ancelotti was trying to accomplish here, his 424 without a real striker seems to struggle the same way we struggled against Liverpool playing a 424, massive gaps between the front 4 and the rest of the midfield through which Barca can just easily play through. Does Real really have no one that is capable of playing the Benzema role if he is not available? I mean doesn't have to be 1 to 1 replacement but at least this way they could stick to their system.
I think playing like this without Benzema is quite likely to convince him of the opposite.
Carlo has zero trust in another player playing up front
Yeah that is what I'm afraid of and why I in no way want us to be stupid enough to offer this guy like 400k pw or something insane like that.
It is odd. You would think just having a natural striker in there, even a bad one from the reserves, to give the rest of the team some shape, would be more helpful than this directionless rubbish. They have no shape in attack or defence
Depends. Even with this shambles, this would be a very different game with Mendy and Benzema
True, but he's still doing it and there's no reason to waste year 1 of Mbappé. We really don't *need* Haaland, there other strikers out there we can get in the next years
Although a backup for Benzema is needed, someone the manager will trust
It's because the pressing is a complete shambles. Half the players do it the other half don't. A blind 5 year old could beat that. At the back the problem is carvajal and nacho basically give us zero security, we're so worried about them we're leaving holes for others just to pre-help them...
Camavinga and Mariano on, think he took out Kroos and Carvajal
Damn good work from Xavi. Also managed to bring in the right players in January, Ferran Torres and Auba seem to be fantastic fits for his playing style.
Mariano and Camavinga ON
Kroos and Carvajal OFF
Valverde to play RWB? I would say yes.

What the hell was that miss from Torres?
That didn't take long
Did Ferran Torres just miss that?
How’s he missed that?
Must be the nameWhat the hell was that miss from Torres?
Yeah you could really see how Modreic was pissed off when he closed Garcia down just to be passed past, turning around and seeing no one had bothered to push up and close down the easy midfield pass.
