You guys need to remember this is a preseason game with a makeshift defence (a winger and a CB as fullbacks) with the purpose getting the players up to speed again. Preseason starts in the States like Jose said.
Granero and Lass cannot be the "midfield alternetives". Mou is crazy if he is gonna ship Sahin away. p.s: Di Maria is annoying with his "smart moves".
A lot of unimpressive players in our team. Benfica on the other hand loks inspired and plats with almost their best team. Can't imagine how Granero or Kaka can ever play important roles.
Yeah both got subbed out due to injury. Witsel has given Lass a footballing lesson. I'm done with the guy after his selfishness then checking out this last season. Dolphinhead is a headcase and he will just end up screwing us over as he has done some many times in the past.
Callejon took a nasty fall and Higuain appeared to turn an ankle. Looked more about precaution than anything serious.
Understandable. Witsel is a baller, would like to see him in Madrid. I still think he is the kind of CM we need.
I don't know if he is or if he isn't. I do know that CB pairing is not the kind of thing Madrid need.
Benfica generally looked a lot sharper, I'm assuming that they've had a few more friendlies than us...
Well after today's performance I'd consider Jesus, like as in Jesus Christ but best not to be all myopic and stuff so I'm gonna hold off a bit.
Second pre-season match, you couldn't expect them to be on fire. A little disappointing but we are missing like damn near the entire starting 11 (Cristiano, Casillas, Xabi, Pepe, Ramos, Arbeloa, Ozil, Khedira, Marcelo + Albiol). I do think a couple of individual performances were very disappointing.
True dat. But at times it looked like were playing C team players ... and that they were playing out of position!! It was crazy like that.
Whoa! Easy there buddy! You just calm down a bit here, "C Team" players really? I mean I know it drops us to 1-1 in the preaseason but there are a lot of games left, we can still win some silverware here.
This. Kaka and Granero were horrible. Not that Lass was any good, but I can't remember a single good thing those two did. Di Maria was decent and that's about it. I never thought we had much talent in our cantera when it comes to defensive players (Carvajal is the exception of course), so I'm not to surprised they were torn apart.
The hunt for big preseason silverware starts next week (Herbalife World Football Challenge). If we dont' get a result against the LA Galaxy, we still have 3 weeks to revamp the squad.
Look these are the types of games we paid Mou big bucks for, I trust he'll have the boys ready. Keep yo' head up playa, it's all good.
