Benitez was an authoritarian trying to discipline a team that didn't need it. You couldn't carrot and stick that squad just like you can't "come on let's go!" this squad to victory.
Youngstars also criticizes Zidane. Something you're incapable of doing with Toni Kroos no matter who is managing... Lope, Scolari or Zidane. Stop the hypocrisy
Would like to see Jovic playing a bigger role vs Sevilla and Atleti, as good as Benz has been, if i recall correctly, not much of his goals were scored against good opponents, correct me if I’m wrong though. Zidane should consider playing Militao next to Casimero with James in front of them, should cover our fragility on the break since he is fast and tackles well, he is not too shabby on the ball either.
Right... Give us a call when zidane bench varane or kroos or even change tactics. He doesn't have the brains to accept change of formation or players.
Players are at fault no doubt but three days ago we played with a team that had 4 new players in the starting lineup and we failed drastically. I don’t think it is reasonable to replace the entire starting lineup in one single transfer window. This is what it is and Zidane should be doing better right now. As far as players are concerned he had no other option but to start kroos, james and casemiro in midfield and it boggles my mind that these three players together with Hazard and Benz are incapable of stringing more than two passes together.
We gave the first one 3 months, the second one was finished from the get go when he made some tough decisions (Isco).
The press straight up asked him today what do you think about the name Mourihno being rumored as a replacement. They are brutal . They make this up and they try to create tension between the club and Zidane.
If I'm Zidane I just start counting my CL and ask what Mou won in three years and how that will change if he comes.
When we were winning the UCL every year , Cules and others were saying that it's luck plus Ronaldo carrying the team and that Zidane isn't a great manager. We were all laughing and considering them petty and jealous. Just like Valverde is being carried by Messi and Ter Stegen. We need a real manager with a clear system,tactics and ideas. Ship out Kroos, give Hakimi a proper shot at RB and tell Varane to get his head straight or he's free to leave.
It all depends on how long Zizou has. If the league is still an achiavable goal by Christmas break then I think he will probably stay. If he loses the league and we play like crap in the CL he is a goner - in that case I would probably go with Allegri too.
Why do all this when the only problem is Zidane. Just change Zidane and all of those players will magically turn back to worldbeaters.
I agree about Zidane screwing up here. The issue is it isn't only him. It was Florentino that decided to renew shitty players before Zidane came back. I agree though about playing those players. We're screwed at RB.... but FFS send Courtois a message and use the PSG flop. Send Varane a message and use Militao. Don't send Lucas and Kroos a messages, just forverbench them.
We suck. This has happened to every coach that managed a Madrid team that sucks. Funny that he says "I never quit" but that's what he did last summer. I doubt the team takes him serious any more.
