The final ball has let us down this half, we played some nice combo football around the Celta box. Varane and Carvajal were embarrassing on their goal.
They’ve been timewasting since they got the goal. Crowd went insane when the ref blew his whistle without extra time. It’s amazing being at the Bernabeu for the game but being down a goal so early sucks
Watch Bale play the full 90 minutes in this game... The problem is that Celta is playing with 5 at the back so any time either of our wingers get the ball they are vastly outnumbered. Zidane played into their hands with this line up. Bring on Isco for Bale and when Hazard needs to come off, bring in Luka Modric or Jovic.
I'm OK with hazard gamble even if I think Jr would be causing lots of problems but Bale should not be playing
Yeah, I'm not a fan of it but I get that he wants to get Hazard minutes. My thing is why didn't Hazard play cameos instead of waiting till now to start.
I don’t hate Zidane. I hate his stupid decisions and game management when it’s costing us and when we should be at a stage for taking advantage in the league.
Also, watching Marcelo play right now is as depressing as the last days of Raul. Dude is a shadow of his former self at the moment.
Don't think we have been bad at all, just the final shot/pass is missing. We might need to re-assess our attacking strategy via crosses against this Celta team. They have won almost every single header in both the boxes, so we might need to think on that. Varane made an error which has cost us so far, w.r.t Bale, Marcelo, Hazard, all of them are coming back from recent injuries and will be rusty. ZZ has to take a call and make sure they are match fit for the business end of the season, so don't blame him for that. If we continue to attack Celta at this rate, I will be surprised if we eventually don't wear them down and register 3 points.
Bring Jovic in if we’re going to resort to crosses. there’s zero threat again from midfield, Kroos needs to get forward a bit and try a shot. too easy to defend against
Thought we played well tbh. Switching flanks quickly. Besides the goal and the chance there at the end, it felt like Celta was pinned deep all half. Just choking chances over the top of the bar. Pick up the intensity a bit, keep creating these chances and goals will come
You're a ********ing clown. We got the best if not one of the best managers in the world and you act as if managers don't make errors. We had a shit team he put back on track and we still have to read the dumb shit you Zidane haters can't wait to spew when things slightly aren't favorable.
Not a single shot on target. Celta game plan is working. We’re resorting to shots out of the box and it’s working. If we’re going to cross, take either Bale or Hazard out and get Jovic in immediately
I thought we did as well. That's with Benzema and Bale sucking. Marcelo being a blackhole in offense and Carvajal having the aim of blind man playing darts. We were a pass or move away from equalizing. We just need to get Bale out put Isco in and see things gel a bit more.
This front three is toothless. Bale is looking retired. Might as well have him join the legends team. Hazard is rusty as hell. Benzema is taking so many stupid touches inside the box. ********ing unleash your shot in the 18 yards! I'd like to add the super league can't come soon enough. Tired of these biased refs. What's this one about? Retaliation for Casillas putting his name in for elections?
Lucas is so much better footballer than Bale, has always been,there is a reason he played so much over Bale in the CLs runs. The right wing is dead without him
Yep. We are not that bad. We fielded our best players except Marcelo . Vini on the left does not work and Lucas and Rodrygo were not called.. Isco vs Bale is a toss up. I always felt that playing both Isco and Hazard is redundant and unnecessary.
I got that part, but he should not start all three. They can all play, but at least two of them coming from the bench.
Then give Hazard his minutes but not with the Marcelo show behind him. Give him at least the stability of Mendy.
That’s weird. I’ve praised Zidane when he gets it right. You won’t admit he’s ********ed the starting lineup 3 games in a row.
Isco has a fine game last week. He was the MOTM. And Lucas also played well and he was not called up. Ain't they Zidane's favorite player?
Wasteful crossing and when attacking it looks more like confusion than cohesion, no shots on target other than Casemiro’s long shot from outside the box tells the story, definitely hoping for a better second half
