true. however, I am extremely happy that pellegrini showed drenthe some faith and play time, and got his confidence up. He is gonna get minutes this season due to injury, competition, cards, etc, and he should be able to give good quality minutes now.
if he could learn how to tackle, improved balance, learned how to shoot, cross and not do useless stepovers
Lass is a monster, sorry had to say it again. Love Granero's tracking back and pressing of opposition.
Marcelo doesn't really know how to defend but does give it his all but for a team of real madrid status,there is no way we should rely of him to make our defence solid. If you look at all the other big teams they have at least 1 or 2 excellent full backs,chelsea have ashley cole to me the best left back,bosingwa one of the best full back in the world,man utd have evra,bayern have lahm,barcelona have daniel alves,arsenal have clichy and sagna,also gibbs and traore waiting on the wing. Real madrid have drenthe very quick but not yet tested,marcelo not really a defender,not that quick so if makes a mistake you are sure he won be able to rectify it .
