Big win although at times it felt like we aren't playing our best football and i was worried there for a while.
Have to admit I was wrong about Mendy I knew he was good defensively but I didn't think he would find his place that easily in such club.
Valverde is the best box to box midfielder in the world,he is wasted in this strange line ups and formations on the right or as a DM,let Kroos to be the DM ,Valverde need freedom
There has to be a lesson out of this game. Bale is not a player mentally fit to be apart of this squad. We can't make that mistake again. Zidane was lucky with this one today, but the next time, it might cost us points.
PLEASE BALE just get injured, someone break his legs in training then he can’t even play for shitty Wales he can’t even play golf that way
Still the best in the world in his position in my opinion. What impresses me is that he somehow still has the legs to run the whole game.... crazy.
Benzema basically played on the wing for a good chunk of this game. He was drifting extremely wide to get the ball and Bale was then coming to the center. Jovic could play with Benz if they played like that, though I'm not sure it's a good idea as there would be less tracking back.
Big win. Having to deal with Pamplona and this total joke of a referee in the same game whilst carrying Bale and still end with a 4-1 win is impressive. Over to Betis now.
World class from Isco and Casemiro today. Single handedly dragged us to an advantage position where Modric, Benz etc. were able to make a difference at the end. Despite the assist, really quiet and forgettable game from Fede. He has set such high standards for himself that when he has a meh game like this, it really stands out. Ultimately, what a fun game to watch. It was thoroughly enjoyable stuff from start to finish.
He went overboard but I wouldn't say Bale is a player on your own team. More like he's a guy who just happens to be there and collecting paychecks. Leaving every game early, not even trying to play. Bale is trying his hardest not to get picked for games.
if Zidane wants to rest Casemiro we can play 4-4-2, without losing too much defensive stability Marcelo fede Kroos Vásquez Mendy Varane Ramos Carbajal benzema vinicius
Benz might be superior at this point but, we need a 9 to play upfront not on the wing, we have Hazard, Vinicius, Lucas, Isco, Rodrygo, Brahim, Gareth , even James if necessary, why do we need a 9 who can “play on the wing”? , that’s part of Benz’s problem IMO, the requirement of a 9 that can play on the wing is irrelevant if you ask me
