Post-match: Sporting Gijón vs. Real Madrid|La Liga|15-2-09 [R]

Love to see that string of W's

 

i second that! they muh-muh-muh-make me haahhppy

 

Robben, Sneijder and Guti didn't travel according to AS.

 

Players called-up:

Casillas y Dudek
Pepe, Ramos, Cannavaro, Marcelo, Heinze y Torres
Lass, Gago, Faubert, Javi García y Parejo
Raúl, Saviola, Higuaín, Huntelaar y Bueno

 

Drenthe is not in the list again; VdV got his 5th yellow last week?

 

Van Der Vaart didn't travel either, cause of the fifth yelllow card, he got against Racing.

 

Hoping for a easy game mr Ramos ey?

 

well, he didn't train with the team today, he stayed inside and trained in the gym instead.

 

It's going to be interesting to see the starting line up. Also, Robben's injury doesn't add positive feelings with 10 days before the Liverpool game.

 

we are looking pretty thin in the middle. I am also surprised that palanca isnt included either.

 

Robben injured? Or being rested?
I have a feeling all three of Huntelaar, Raul and Higuain will start.
Gago Lass and perhaps Faubert in the middle?

 

Guti, Sneijder and Robben are injured.

 

It's also alarming that once Robben has two games per week (club and national team), he's got another injury.

 

It seems like whenever he has a national game period....

 

What sort of injury? And how long is he out for? Robben.

 

Wow, our squad is quite thin at the moment.

I wonder if Juande is going to play a 4-4-2 or a 4-3-3?

 

I think Robben's omission is also heavily due to a comfortable 2nd place, a distant 1st place, a comfortable 7-1 previous meeting and a crucial CL tie in 11 days.

 

I hope this is true

 

Midfielders
Lass, Gago, Parejo, Faubert, Javi Garcia
Forwards
Raul, Saviola, Huntelaar, Higuain, Bueno

This is from realmadrid website.
What do you guys think about the mid field? Faubert and parejo start?

 

.................Hunte

..................Raul

Marcelo.......................Higuain

............Gago.......Lass



Here is a wild guess....

I think Ramos uses this as a chance to get Hunte a start. Faubert can wait a bit longer to get his chance.

Since this game is in Gijon, I wouldn't be surprised if Ramos also uses this as an opportunity to start Marcelo out on the left since he has tried him there a couple times off the bench. It would be cruel to perform such an experiment at the Bernabeu since the crowd would likely boo him.

 

hey guys can anyone tell e what is this injury as stated on AS which robben has.. (contracture in the hip rotator muscles).. is it too serious ?? how long will he be out ?? anyone ?? coz i am concerned abt this before our match with liverpool man..

 

He trained with the team today. I think it's more about him getting a rest than anything else to be honest.
