I on the other hand would have a safe back four consisting of Heinze and give Robben/Robinho the freedom to attack without risking the defense in anyway.
Yeah that shit is pretty strange. I really want us to destroy them at the Riazor so they're just a piece of shit team that can't even beat Madrid (the only thing they're decent at). I just want our strongest back 4 all playing at once, I can't believe after SO many games we've only seen this ONCE.
The interesting thing about Deportivo and their fans is that for many years, that part of Spain was madridista country - don't forget, Deportivo spent a long time in second division before Lendoiro began working his magic. Anyway, now a lot of the people in that area really hate Real Madrid - something I can't quite understand. Their ultras, the Riazon Blues, are real pricks! And of course they brag about the Centenariazo more than anything else.
for me its part 2 of 5 devisive games, if we are still on top after the mallorca match we will be campeon again But I totally agree with you on HALA MADRID
I mean in a row dude. there are a few games you could throw in there as well but as the next four are: babyDepor Valencia Sevilla Mallorca Win these and we are on our way
I totally understand your point of view, but I kinda watched Heinze in the Roma game from my seat up high and I saw what I already thought, he is just very poor in attacking play - build up. And Marcelo just is better and more dangerous in offensive play but still not as good in defense. So it's kinda a choice you have to make, but for we are Madrid, I would always choose the more attacking style of play + Marcelo is a young player which I'd rather choose.
Sorry for not writing, but i also meant in a row. and the first of the league deciding five games was played last week. 4 to go, if we lead afterwards, i start the celebrataions
Team sheet CCONVOCATORIA DEPORTIVO-REAL MADRID Porteros: Casillas y Dudek. Defensas: Salgado, Pepe, Torres, Marcelo, Cannavaro y Heinze. Centrocampistas: Diarra, Gago, Baptista, Guti, Drenthe, Robinho y Sneijder. Delanteros: Raúl, Higuaín y Soldado. No convocados: Sergio Ramos -por sanción-; Van Nistelrooy, Metzelder y Robben -por lesión-; Codina, Saviola y Balboa -por decisión técnica-.
i think he will he started as a sub against Espanyol last week, and he did well i think we might see another 4-1-3-2 ----------------------Casillas----------------- Salgado------Pepe-------Canna--------Marcelo -----------------------Gago-------------------- Sneijder--------------Guti--------------Robinho -------------------Raul-----Beast------------------
Yeah that looks right to me. Hard to believe our second most expensive player on the team sheet can't make the first 11.
In his press conference Schuster said he was unsure of Robinho's status as a starter. He admitted that Robinho was rushed back into the lineup. Despite his two goals at Recre, he apparently isn't 100% yet and Schuster seems to be leaning to have him on the bench tomorrow.
IMO LosMereTicos prediction lineup is too offensive. We just have 2 reliable CB to do defensive work. Gago would be the only guy to give a pressure at Midfield. I believe Schuster will play Diarra as a ball winner. But lately Diarra also out of form and look so weak and tired. Wat do u think guy?
Guti can always pair alongside Gago as the holding midfielder or alongside Diarra but, i see Gago as a more reliable creator unlike Diarra, you all know how bad Diarra's passing is and ofcourse, you all know how god is the guti's passing when he's on high he can make any passings from anywhere turns into magic assists
I don't understand why we would fire a championship-winning coach for being too defensive and then continue with his double-pivot. I hope we continue to try Gago as a single DM and see how he handles it.
SQUAD LIST Goalkeepers: Casillas & Dudek. Defenders: Salgado, Pepe, Torres, Marcelo, Cannavaro & Heinze. Midfielders: Diarra, Gago, Baptista, Guti, Drenthe, Robinho & Sneijder. Forwards: Raúl, Higuaín & Soldado. Left out: Sergio Ramos -suspended-; Van Nistelrooy, Metzelder and Robben -injured-; Codina, Saviola and Balboa -coaching decision-.
i hope that schuster give soldado a start on this game . give him some playing time so that he can prove himself to the club . if he doesn't cherish it , then he can only blame himself -------------------------Casillas-------------------------- -----Torres--------Pepe---------Canna---------Marcelo----- ------------------------Gago----------------------------- ---Sneijder/Drenthe-----Guti/Baptista----------------Robinho ----------------------Raul------Soldado-------------------- higuain in second half if soldado isn't playing well...
AS is going very big on the following line up, with reporter Oscar Ribot seemingly sure that this will be the line-up... Iker Torres... Pepe... Canna... Heinze. Diarra... Guti Sneijder Raul... Soldado... Drenthe
Raul and Torres on the right wing?.. I think that i can positively say that our rightside will be dead.
Yeah ****goal.com states the same. it is very possible but i think the formation is wrong,maybe computer simulated. Guti behind Sneijder??????? Raul on the right ???? Drenthe a forward????
I think that line up is very very intersting. As you said macaluca AS seem very confidant with this line up Thing is i see it more like this -----------Casillas-------------- Torres--Pepe--Cannavaro--Henize ------------Diarra--------------- -----------------Guti------------ ---<<<Sniejder>>>--------Drenthe ------Raul-----------Soldado----- This one looks more solid. Maybe guti might play in front of Sniejder/Drenthe? If Soldado does get to start he really needs to play the game of his life to prove shuster wrong. Lets hope we brake the curse. Toma Hala Madrid
