Hardly a surprise when they have such an unbalanced team.I actually agree with you, can't believe we bought him to place on the bench....
I don't know why so many people hate them. Madrid are much more fun than normal clubs. 
that moment when you realise Sociadad play better football that united.
Yeah, but they can't really buy a new midfield.
One addition, Vidal, though......
Is he injured or just on the bench?
You can't expect Madrid to win a game in that pink kit.
"0-2, joke of a league, gonna lurk somewhere"
Turned out missing one of the games I would most enjoy watching all season.

On a side-note, it's great to see the Basque clubs being successful over the last couple of seasons. Athletic reaching a European final in style and qualifying for the CL for the first time in over a decade. La Real also qualifying for the CL 2 seasons ago in a grandiose fashion (scoring the 3rd most goals in the league after you-know-who), although they subsequently failed miserably in the group stage.
Jesus, does Ancelotti think this formation that looks like a 4-2-4 is going to get him through the whole season? No defensive midfielder, not a single player that can close down opponents when they get past the first line of defense, really? Thank God for them they didn't sell Khedira too...
This is why they keep renewing his contract ?
Personally I think Lopez was more consistent last season. Casillas was brilliant against Dortmund but he had some poor games too most notably in the CL final.
I hate Ancelotti's eye brow, it looks like he had a stroke or something.
Pepe is a joke of a footballer. Centre half my arse.
Nice one, Florentino. That's what you get for selling your best player...
Sorry yeah, I just mean in general, I presume James will be in midfield once Ronaldo is back.Yes - today especially Alonso is somehow missed...
It was not Kroos-Modric-James but Kroos-Modric-Isco. James is right winger today.
Still though, Isco's not much better than James in strength and all.
Still expecting a goal from a set-piece... and there it almost was.
Erm.. I can possibly name you 10 clubs worse than Sociedad off the top of my head that play better football than United.
so... why is vela not at arsenal??
If only they had Alonso..
Bench. He will get his place in the team eventually, I am confident of that.
Madrid lost?
Just heard it.
Just heard it.
Is Dirt
Benzema should've scored.. on his weaker foot on the turn though, harder than it looks.
Exactly, everybody was drooling about that lineup but it's too lightweight without Xabi Alonso or Khedira..
It looks good on paper, but paper doesnt play.
New Makelele situation?
You're the most reactionary poster on here.Well played sociedad. Ancelotti has a lot of work to do.
This is what Madrid do. Build a team full of superstars which after a couple of years finally gains some semblance of balance, buy more superstars at the expense of that balance, and then spend the next couple of years with the most expensively assembled team in history involved in basketball games playing with a broken team wondering why they haven't won more stuff. It's amazing.
ended up getting 4 back.
Oh my.
Madrid were all over the place in the midfield. Keep made some excellent saves.
Harder than it looks to me and you of course but he's a professional footballer, no excuses.
Awesome game that was. Very well deserved victory for La Real! Worryingly for RM their best player was probably Ramos, a CB part of a defense that conceded four goals. Modric was impressive as well, but didn't get enough support in DF phase.
Yes, Bayern now not only weakening their biggest domestic rivals but now their biggest rivals in the CL, too. First Barcelona's future with Thiago, now Alonso...
Chicharito will save them.
Pérez really does love fecking up the balance of a team doesn't he?
How good is Cerci? Atlético have signed him.

Xabi Alonso played as a CB yesterday from what i was told...God knows what is going through Pep's mind haha
Very good winger, probably best Italian winger and yes, that includes Insigne.
While they're fecking up their team we should put in a cheeky bid for Modric.
