Who is out and who are the replacements?
La Liga - 2014/15
- Thread starter jojojo
- Start date
Marcelo, Ramos and Pepe are all out I think, so that's basically our whole defence. Carvajal is returning to the team though, so Ancelotti might move Arbeloa to LB with Nacho and Varane as our CB's. A bit worrying.
Modric and now James are also out so in midfield we'll probably go with Kroos, Isco and one of Illarra/Khedira.
Front 3 BBC, hope they won't waste too many chances.
Aye that'll be it. Coentrão an outside chance if he's fit (was he in the squad)? Otherwise it picks itself apart from the defensive mid slot.
I just saw that rock solid defensive unit missing in those games. Without that, they didn't seem to be anywhere near the same force.
to be fair, the replacements are pretty great. Your team is still much stronger than atletico's.
Real Madrid seem to have Barca's Atletico complex from last season. I expect a draw or Atletico win.
feck, forgot we also have our new boy Silva now. I wonder if he can make his first few minutes.
And yes, apparently Coentrao is back and will play, which is (a bit of) a relief.
Yeah but they have the deadly weapon that is Torres though.
As with his cheeks, it's just a purple patch.Yeah but they have the deadly weapon that is Torres though.

He's on the bench, Simeone already said Mandžukić will start. Super sub?
Khedira and Coentrão start, rest of the team fairly obvious. Atlético pretty much as expected too, Miranda ahead of Giménez.
Moyá; Juanfran, Miranda, Godín, Siqueira; Tiago, Gabi, Arda, Koke; Griezmann y Mandzukic.

Time for Carlo to crawl out of Siemone's pocket.
FFS got some Geordie as commentator
The guy just said "Let's get ready to rock"
Christ.
Christ.
From London to Madrid, so many great games today!
Come on Atletico!!
Come on Atletico!!
Throw your shoe at him, Arda! Damn refs...
Surely that's a foul? Not a penalty but Coentrão was pulling Arda when they were outside the box...
Anyone watching a bein stream? This Geordie commentator isn't half grating my ears. Turan is "as tricky as a squirrel on a telephone wire," apparently. Feck me.
Who's the hilarious commentator on Bein Sports?!? I have him on my Stream! "As tricky as a squirrel on the telephone wire" was the first thing I heard when I switched on 
That's not just some Geordie commentator, that's the legend that is Ray Hudson.
I think Ray Hudson is brilliant but he grinds many peoples gears. Rather his over the top inventiveness than the same tired old cliches in my opinion. I think he loves football more than anyone in the universe.
"Clash of Koke-nuts..." Fecking hell.
Koke coming off for Saúl. Unlucky Atlético.
Koke off?
Not sure I'll be able to see this match through on this stream
If ever there was an appropriate phrase to describe a human being, this is it for Ray Hudson. It's entertaining at least.
good ol Ray Hudson.That's the fella, he makes every game more entertaining
Koke injured, that could cost Atletico here :/
Isco gets a free kick because he stops and asks for one. Nice...
Ooops - straight through the middle.
Tiago!
Heh. Iker.
Oh dear Iker
Get in.
Get in.
Tiago!! Great goal outside the box!
Every mistake he makes brings them closer to DDG.
Somebody get DdG a new contract.
Oh ffs.... Casillas doesn't look too good there.
