Real Madrid @ Malaga | La Liga Jornada 25 | 2.21.16

Isn't Varane suspended? And Benz has back injury ?

 

Why do the bookies have a Madrid win so high?

 

Nice to see Mayoral called up. Hope he gets some minutes.

 

Because it's Madrid against Malaga.

 

so Jese instead Benzy? or Kovačič?

 

I'd like to see Jese start this one.

 

I think he's done enough under Zizou to deserve the start too. He needs to really take this opportunity though.

Also, Modric could do with a little break. So perhaps Kova can start for him today.

Jese - Cristiano - James
Isco - Kroos - Kovacic​

 

Break ? We are not even in Copa lol , just start the best 11 .

 

Yeah he would, but not against Malaga - away. For god sake!

 

Good line up.

Real Madrid XI vs. Malaga: Navas; Ramos, Nacho, Carvajal, Marcelo; Kroos, Kovacic, Modric; Isco, Jesé, C. Ronaldo.

 

As expected.. Not quite there yet .

I think Cristiano will play more CF today. We'll see.

 

Finally Kova & Isco together. Can't wait to see how this'll work. Jesé hopefully from the left, Cris as a 9.

 

i like what i see tbh. Kovačič,Isco,Modrič, interesting to see, Ronaldo more CF.

 

Zidane's playing it smart I think, he knows our chances at the league are next to none. Giving a chance to other players will boost their confidence, increase their playing rhythm for better performance, while also doing some good rotation.

Anyway, just get the 3 points and GTFO. HALA MADRID!!

 

Kovacic, Kroos and Modric is a solid midfield. Isco is useless in midfield.

 

Not sure this was a good idea. With Benz and Bale both out, we could have used James' goals. Isco and Kovacic are not very likely to score generally.

 

I would definitely not say useless, however from the very little that I've seen of Kova, Kroos and Modric as the midfield 3 I've liked it, a very small sample so far but let's see what it looks like today, a win and 3 points, no injuries and out, not sure what the overall performance will be like but hoping for a good one obviously

 

I forgot Kameni is in goal for Malaga, he's usually pretty obdurate , I hope he's rubbish today

 

Isco shaved haha.

 

I gotta say i an happy jese is starting this game but i really miss Benzem.i enjoy his gameplay the most

 

Isco discoooo
