Atletico are just physically superior. Players like Isco, Hazard and Modric, if they can't use their skill to gain an upper hand because of poor form, they can be isolated. I want Mendy back. Kroos is a defensive liability.
We Haven’t seen Jovic this pre-season, by the looks of that injury, we might be seeing him next pre-season. Shocking all round.
Get him out! We have no manager. This is chaos. Guys wake up! Honestly it's not just this game. He doesn't know what he's doing.
Solari: “you need to work very hard to beat Atletico Madrid.. all of their players sacrifice themselves.. (he is highly impressed with Joao how he has so quickly adapted to Simeone’s style) “Benzema coming in gave Real Madrid a plus in quality”
Can we get a refund on Jovic? Looks like a worst player than Mariano. Barely touched the ball. He's europa league quality and that's it. Hope he's not seriously injured though. He's all we got. At least as a 80min sub when needed. Jesus, could have been 6 or 7.
Solari: “we lack aggressiveness off the ball, its very difficult to play against them like this..” “Vini improved tremendously last year.”
Joao Felix looks great. Damn. I just don't know how much we can count on Isco to have an impact, not much there. Getting a bit better. Need Modric to take a few more risks with his passes. Vinicius coming alive.
