Step It Up Bro, The Team Needs You!! - The Benzema Thread [R]

Last minute winner against Milan... you heard it here first.

 

I will buy a beer if that happens!

 

It's actually amazing that a player who has been so succesful in the CL at such a young age, is struggling like this.

 

I don't think I could sit through a draw up till the 90th plus. unless you mean last minute as in 43rd minute of the first half when we completely kill off the game.

 

fyp

 

I just hope we don't need a last minute winner tomorrow

 

So do I...


... but if we do...

 

In that case I'd like it to be Higuain, a goal at the San Siro tomorrow will go a long ways to quieting the "he never scores in big games" boo-birds, Benzema with last minute game winning assist though

 

^^^ i agree with this.

 

If higuain or Benzema scores, it will be the 700th CL goal for Real Madrid. Significant chance to enter the record books.

Pretty good time to score against Milan.

 

I wish for Ronaldo

May be it will be a surprise again (An own Goal ) .

 

So...what's our record at the San Siro again?

Let's temper expectations a bit. Though we did break the Deportivo away streak.

 

Temper expectations? Are there any unrealistic expectations being put forth here?

 

0-90.

 

Yeah, sorta:

 

Yeah cuz that's a real expectation

Considering some of the predictions, gut feelings and real expectations some folks put forth here the last couple of pages is simply messin' around (maybe because that's what it was).

 

And I'm just saying given our record at the San Siro, it could be a tough game. Not sure why you increasingly look to pick a fight around here.

 

FIGHT!FIGHT!FIGHT!








This is Real Madrid-AC Milan damnit, I want a fight, blood, and a winner

 

I believe in the Assist Master Benzy

 

Hey everyone

I think benzema is going through a rough time at the moment. Last season he was a starter until Higuain's superb performances have forced pellegrini to bench benz.

This year wasnt any different, Higuain having already proved his qualities in the previous 2 years is enjoying a good run in the team, benz still hasnt proved anything to the bernabeau faithful. I think he has to work very hard in order to become a starter instead of Pipita.

Personally I prefer 1 striker up front with 2 wingers supporting him, like the di maria higuain ronaldo trio already used by mourinho.

Benz should really step up his game, he is getting all the support from Real Madrid. We also need a reliable backup to Higuain in case he gets injured or becomes out of form.

 

We need Benzema. Don;t get me wrong. I love our current core team right now. But You got to factor in injuries. We only have 2 full out strikers. If one of them gets injured, or even exhausted during a match, then we need to others who can step up to the plate and deliver.

Benzema has the potential. He is just unlucky, and maybe just a bit unsure right now. Mourinho is right to back him. Once his current unlucky streak on the goal ends, and he regains his confidence, he will be a huge asset to the team.

This isn't about who always starts or who doesn't. Its about the team. Its just not possible for the same 11 people to start all the time. No team is ever that lucky. Imagine a key match against our arch nemisis Barca. Half way through one of our strikers get injured, or one of them is just off form, or whatever. Then we will be glad we are able to bring on another who can and will help to turn things around.

I just hope Benzema doesn't lose heart and ask to transfer to another team. Mourinho believes in him, he should believe in himself too.

 

If Mou fixed sneijder's mental problem, I am sure he will fix Benzema. I think he will do really well and with a little bit of luck/Patience he will kill the debate off.
