Won't happen but would love to see: Benz-Jovic James(Modric) Kroos-Case-Valverde Inb4 Lucas Vasquez titular.
📋 ¡Nuestro XI inicial para medirnos al @realvalladolid!#RMLiga | #RealValladolidRealMadrid pic.twitter.com/MJKGQOvofE— Real Madrid C.F. (@realmadrid) January 26, 2020 No Valverde but we do get a 4 man midfield and Mendy and Rodrygo back
No Fede but both Modric and Kroos have been excellent in recent weeks so I’m not too worried. This is a good line up and hell yes no Lucas.
Don't really know how good Nacho is. He was terrible for most of last year but I always liked him and rated him as a solid defender. If he does have a good game, that's a freakin solid backline. Midfield trio always get me worried a bit but they all seem in shape lately so I'm optimistic. Isco and Rodrygo could and should deliver much more, hoping they have a good game. We don't really have game-changers on the bench. Benzema has credit, but he can be wasteful sometimes. Please, bring your A-game, Karim.
Never in a million years will Zidane play James in his most natural position. He wants people to rate James when he plays him as CM, responsible to play on both ends of the pitch.
Sucks for James, the excuse earlier in the season is that he isn't a good fit for a 3 man midfield; but now we are using 4 and 5 man midfield formations but still no James. Subs should be interesting. I think Fede and Lucas are a lock to come in as early subs, so I think it will be Jovic at 88th minute.
Odriozola is injured? or just out of club plans? I dont like this line-up, but lets hope we get those 3 points
It’s now time to slowly start creating a gap and pulling away from Barcelona, starting tonight. No excuses.
damn without Valverde the midfield is slow,Kroos and Modric have been good lately but only when Valverde is next to them on the pitch.
Exactly the trio should not play in a must win game, Valverde has had a games rest last week so makes no sense in dropping him now.
i hope Rodrygo play on the left and do something,he has been very underwelming in the past 2 months .I dont know why but he doesnt try to beat players and drible
Wish we could find Casemiro a break but he has to play. He is holding up so well despite the amount of minutes
Fede tonight, Modric against Zaragoza and Fede against Atleti would be more logical imo. Again this midfield.. Doesn’t matter how, but hopefully we’ll win.
Huge game ahead. An absolute must win. If we don't win this, we don't deserve to win La Liga. Anyone with a good stream btw?
