    You'd be surprised with the overlap between those 3 things. ;)

    The amount of pain he has been going through the past 4 weeks should bring us all joy.

    I can't wait for these "cules" to abandon ship and find their new "calling" with some English, bavarian, Italian or Paris club.

    Hunter was fuming when we signed Isco lol. Went on a rant against Flo right after. Before that, he had just announced Isco was leaving to Manchester for medical. :D

    Best thing is Zidane still has unexplored potential as a coach, as in he can still grow as a tactician. If he is able to manage the fatigue that comes with coaching Madrid, we really don't need to look for another coach for a long time. What a blessing has this man been for our club.

    He's a culero shithead but tbf 2015 really was an absolutely atrocious year for the club and it really felt like Flo was losing the plot when he sacked Ancelotti only to hire Rafa. No one could've predicted what ZZ was able to come in here and accomplish.

    I agree. Zidane proved to be a bigger solution than all the problems we faced. We are blessed.

    Games like this is where Zidane needs to show his coaching credentials. Kroos, Modric, Nacho and Marcelo should not even be on the bench in the next game.

    Given to our horrible form, I wonder if Zidane will be sacked despite his status?

    First big crisis of the Zidane era. Let’s see how he responds. Huge questions need to be asked of him and the players though. I hope Florentino gives him a call or like it’s been rumored makes a visit to the dressing room tonight.

    Pérez isn't afraid to pull the trigger, which we've seen in the past.

    If Zidane ends up with no silverware, he'll probably be sacked.

    That's what I think at least.

    Okay. I believe this is not the first time Zidane is in a crisis. We went to Wolfsburg and got our asses spanked 2 years ago. He managed to control the team very well then. This time also he will be able to do so. I hope he starts with the defense. We cant play such a loose high defense line and put so little effort in pressuring. This is a suicide.

    The lack of pressure on the ball holder is mind boggling. Seems more from tired minds than tired legs. Need a shake up to wake up some of the players.

    not this season. We will buy 3-4 new players this summer and spend big. Perez love world cup summers. you get players and their hype which is always good for marketing.
    no silverware this season is OK considering what Zidane did in the last 2 seasons, but finishing next season without silverware and Zidane is gone.

    The team looks old out there. Marcelo, Modric, Ronaldo, Benz, and Bake when he plays just look old out there. We need an infusion of young energetic blood

    Problem is we got their replacements, Theo, Kova, we only ********ed up with Mbappe. Ronaldo and Benzema should have been sold last summer, even when we won the CL..You have to keep the team fresh.

    A quick quote from a Zidane interview:

    http://www.telegraph.co.uk/football...ley-spanish-press-react-tottenhams-thrashing/

    “It wasn’t that we played badly, we had chances to draw level at 1-0 down but, as is happening recently, things just didn’t go our way and the ball just didn’t go in.”

    I'm convinced that this sort of talk is only put out to the media and what is actually being said behind closed doors is something else...or at least I can really hope that is the case.
