I agree with Vitaly completely haha...we played well at the start but should have killed the game off when we had control...we took our foot off the gas in the second half and Sporting had us by the balls lol, could've easily been a draw had they not missed that penalty....but again i agree, i think Zidane's impact is more mental than tactical, coz a game like that we could have easily thrown away, but this season we have some sort of force driving the team to keep fighting! Good thing tho is that even when we play bad we aren't losing...when everyone is fit again and fine i really think that 4-4-2 switch will help us....i love Benzema but i really enjoyed the Ronaldo-Bale partnership with Bale dropping more into midfield to do defensive work letting Cr7 just sit back and counter more than actually have to track back.
Today we didn't play well. We are lucky to win this game. Modric didn't look good. He's passing was awful. Loosing way to many balls. Benzema looked very heavy and didn't really look fit today. His positioning was all over the place I don't know. Kovačić played very good today. He is really improving every game he is playing. For me he was the the best player today. And Cristiano played very good. He created chances and scoring two good goals. Happy for the win even though it was close
triggerhappy262 plus I totally agree mate. You are spot on about the mentality...I think if anything Zidane has had the best impact on mentality more than tactics, coz he's got the players believing again and they respect him...unlike other managers they used to question, there seems to be more of a connection between Zidane and the players coz he's managed to calm down all the egos in the dressing room...
Real Madrid just has moments in the game where everything just goes astray. It's starting to worry me a bit. I remember the same thing happening in the 2014-15 season in the second game against Barca where real dominated Barca in most moments but for about 15 minutes real just started playing awful and conceded a goal and lost 2-1
That's the thing. We have got the team on the same page down pack but we haven't had the issues of the team playing style or how to adapt to a game based on the opponent. We can't just play like this anymore we need to figure this all out. Hey at least we are winning and on top of the table
Douglas played really good maybe Barça should call him back lol and my opinion i don't james has a future at Madrid just like turan at Barça they are just a waste of space when they do get the chance to play they don't perform
Yeah i agree, both players talented but they don't seem to fit the systems, even as a Madrid fan i wondered why Barca went for a player like Turan over chasing the more intricate players like Coutinho....in terms of James, James only shines when we switch to a 4-2-3-1 and let him play CAM, which is rare only happening when injuries come round. But i love James too much to ever want him to see him play for another team lol....
siddharth datta oh ik it will be a very hard game and I'm worried about it but I'm confident that the MSN want to win and they're going to do everything to win
Haha yeah, im a Madrid fan, but i feel MSN will deliver tomorrow at the Anoeta....they thrive under pressure, as much as it pains me to admit it lol...i think the gap will be 4 pts and the clasico will be a bit more important to both teams instead of the 7pts..but of course im hoping you guys lose, but i see u guys beating Sociedad
it is because of the fact that we haven't had a good tactical plan that will ensure victory. All we worry about is "intensity" but not the real problem which is why aren't we controling games. Hey at least we are winning at that is the most important thing of all
triggerhappy262 plus we need a #10 like Ozil or di Maria someone that is an assist machine. If we had that the BBC would be so much more deadlier than the MSN.
UltrasSur 9000 Nah the BBC would be deadlier if we would combine and alternate more instead of being so isolated for the most part. We have been operating fine without a number 10 and you also got to ask yourself this: Why do you think the MSN are so good? It's simple really because they stay together and combine. The problem is not the creativity in the offense but the way the BBC moves in order to creat space and confuse defenders. If we do that we are set in the offense

I think that the players will play better in El Clasico because it's a good atmosphere for them.
True...Zidane is a miracle worker haha, the players believe more than ever...we just adapt to games with varying tactics haha
I think if Zidane keeps the winning mentality going and also add a good tactical plan like the last time in the el clasico then we will be fine
triggerhappy262 plus I totally agree mate.

james did great that play with modric and Vasquez was beautiful
Hopefully James gets back into this rotating system
There seems to be a disconnect between the midfield and the back 4
yeah that is why we need casemiro back
BTW i would give Man of the Match to Kovacic/James, they were brilliant
agreed they were great in the midfield. Kovacic has been very reliable he will be someone to be next spot for modric

I predict a 2-2 game against Barca
ClassicOG 1-1 is realistic because both teams haven't been so good
+ClassicOG actually, in that el Classico Barca only won because of a long ball from Dani Alves to Luis Suarez
Douglas played really good maybe Barça should call him back lol and my opinion i don't james has a future at Madrid just like turan at Barça they are just a waste of space when they do get the chance to play they don't perform

Arda went from starting at Atletico to warming the bench at Barca
Visca Barça turan is getting old so he really won't get any better even if he was starting
Barca drew today!!! We have a nice 6 point lead ahead of El Clasico HALA MADRID
Yep now we need to get at win in el classico hopefully to secure nine point lead
Where is triggeryhappyplus
Yeah I am replying to comments at the moment
where's ashley
LOL watch the video
come on vitaly taking shots at Barça don't forget 4-0 at the Bernabeu and Barça will win 2-0 or 2-1
Visca Barça u guys are gonna lose :D
Don't think so
Visca Barça u guys have real sociedad to worry about right now 😂😂
siddharth datta oh ik it will be a very hard game and I'm worried about it but I'm confident that the MSN want to win and they're going to do everything to win

Guys why is Madrid not play so good. My English good not.
it is because of the fact that we haven't had a good tactical plan that will ensure victory. All we worry about is "intensity" but not the real problem which is why aren't we controling games. Hey at least we are winning at that is the most important thing of all

triggerhappy262 plus problem is I highly doubt will ever see that happen, so our best bet is getting an assist machine.
UltrasSur 9000 i guess but once casemiro is back into the dynamic I think things will operate better
CR7 and Kovacic great. Rest Shit/Average
Benzema is stealing a living at RM btw
