🚨✅ Xabi Alonso: “Jude & Camavinga will be able to PLAY on Saturday.” pic.twitter.com/7mfFzHStCT— Madrid Xtra (@MadridXtra) September 16, 2025
Is it me or we haven’t had one good match all season long, CWC included? we are winning so I’ll take it but I don’t remember a match where I went, we are back!
Another long term injury in defence. Back to the market in January Dani needs to play wrapped in bubble wrap
El tiempo de baja estimado es entre 6-8 semanas de baja.— Arancha Rodríguez (@AranchaMOBILE) September 17, 2025 6-8 weeks out for Trent according to Arancha. Rudiger out 3 months, Trent out 2 months. Huijsen red card in La Liga, Carvajal red card in the CL. Defense already super stretched thin
Whatever we do we better figure it out. We play Juventus, Barcelona, Valencia, Liverpool back to back in a month.
yeah...but now you have to play Carvajal probably much more than you want, which is dangerous. It's a big loss.
I felt we were good yesterday tbh. If the players were a bit more sharp in terms of finishing, it could have been 4 or 5-0 after 20mins or so. It's that we didn't reward ourselves and were then somewhat punished for it – that's my concern. But I saw some very encouraging signs!
He's getting great reviews so far in Germany. "His football IQ and experience has been a breath of fresh air after Frimpong" was a headline I saw about him. People love him so far for his passion as well.
For me the biggest concern is that the midfield is not clicking. We're often rushing the ball forward too quickly and gifting it to the opposition.. There simply isn't enough control there and Xabi has to find a solution.
If that doesn't sound like coded language then I dunno what does. I didn't rate Frimpong's complete lack of interest in defending but WTF are we even talking about here, making it sound like Frimpong's some moron or something? Good grief.
On the plus side, Bellingham and Camavinga are back. That frees up Valverde and Tchouameni to play RB and CB again.
I'd want to see the midfield with Jude and Camavinga as well. I think they will have a positive influence in that respect.
There needs to be an improvement, it looks like the midfield is allergic to having the ball. I noticed some of these "patterns" against Sociedad even before we were a man down. We may get away with this kind of play against lesser sides but the top sides will punish us for giving the ball away in dangerous positions like we did last night.
With these 2 injuries the squad doesn't look that stacked anymore,the defense once again will be the problem,an unjury away from a crises
