Real Valladolid vs Real Madrid CF|La Liga|09-23-07[R]

AWESOME. As per usual.

Too good, nuff_said.

 

Isn't Diarra back for this game ?!

PS: Nice thread nuff .. Give me a whole day and i still wouldn't come up with one which would be half as good .. Love the frame vs sticking paper thing !!

 

Yeah Diarra is back and will most likely start ahead of Gago.

 

Metzy is injured, luckily Pepe is ready to come back (Ramos could perfectly replace him if needed though).

I just read on Marca that Robinho was a little annoyed for not being a starter against Bremen. Whining again ffs. He has no place on the team right now, I hope to see Higgy or Robben on his place.

Giving a rest to Raul is a good idea but it's very unlikely.

So...

Iker
Ramos, Cannavaro, Pepe, Marcelo (yeah, he deserves it)
Diarra
Sneijder, Guti, Robben
Raul, Ruud.

Another 0-5 guys, please.

 

Wohoo! Not only will they show it on Swedish TV, but I'm actually free sunday evening!

Guess Marcelo will get to start again, I think he showed signs of being more reliable than Drenthe against Bremen. Diarra's back which I think is good for our defense. Although Gago did good against Bremen he's still not the equal of Diarra. In offense I hope to see Raúl partnered with Baptista or Soldado, they both deserve the chance.

 

this game will be on gol tv. i hope the boys give me a good birthday present...they better!

 

Thats one of the best match thread I have seen..Great nuff said..Keep going...

 

Nothing to say that hasn't already been said about the quality of this thread nuff, top work.

I would really like to see Soldado play some minutes in this game, also Baptista <3.

 

Is there any indication of whether Robben could start?

 

I don't see Robben starting in this one. Maybe Thursday at home against Betis. Although I do expect some changes in the lineup.

Looks like Gol TV has a full schedule this weekend - including this match. Yeah!

 

they must know its my birthday weekend...bless them

 

I wouldn't be want to appear too complacent by bringing in massive numbers of reserves. Valladolid is a respectably good team. Also, it's early in the season after some late summer arrivals, I think our first choice team should get some time together. Here's what I would like to see:

-----------------Castillas----------------
Ramos-----Canna------Pepe------Marcelo
-----------------Diarra-------------------
Higuain-----------Guti-----------Sneijder
--------------Raul-----------------------
-------------------Soldado---------------

If we manage to be up 2 goals after the first half, I'd bring in two subs at halftime - probably Robben for Sneijder and Torres for Ramos. In the 60th minute, I'd bring on Robinho for Raul. If we are only up one goal at the half, I'd save two of the substitutions for the 60th minute (unless they are purely tactical in and of themselves (someone looks spent, etc.). If things are tied or we're losing, all bets are off of course and Schuster's got to bring in whoever he thinks will get the job done (Ruud for Soldado maybe?).

I def. think that Ramos, Ruud, and Sneijder might benefit from a little rest after a few weeks of international competition, league action, and the first champions league match, but it's early in the season and I think the team still needs to work on solidifying its chemistry, plus Valladolid isn't an opponent to underestimate.

Also, on an unrelated note: I'm going to be visiting my parents this weekend and they don't have GolTV, just worldsport HD. Arrrgh.

 

Here's mine:

----------Casillas----------
-Ramos-Fabio5-Pepe-Carlos-
-----------Diarra-----------
--Higuain---------Drenthe--
----------Sneijder----------
-----Baptista-Saviola-------

 

Carlos lol

 

Carlos?

 

Oh no, my bad folks that short guy running down the left against Bremen? Not Carlos? Pfff... Reminds me of him quite the lot..

 

LOL. Thats a class post

 

i hope marcelo and higuain get the start ) and nuff BEAUTIFUL thread

 

I think the lineup should be:

Casillas
S.Ramos Cannavaro Pepe Marcelo
Diarra
Robinho Guti Sneijder
Raul
Soldado

Then bring in:
Robben for Sneijder
Higuain for Raul
Gago for Diarra (i think gago needs to get some more minutes)

 

I love to see the Beast, Soldado and Marcelo make an appearance.
With Metzelder injured and likely to miss the match my line up would be
------------Casillas----------
Ramos---Cana---Pepe---Marcelo
-------------Gago-------------
-------Guti--------Drenthe-----
Higuain-----------------Robino
--Baptista/Soldado/Saviola

robben should make another cameo appearance as he get match fitness

 

i think its gonna be

ramos-canna-pepe-marcelo

----------diarra-----------

higuain-------------sneijder

----------guti-------------

-------ruud-----raul
