La Liga 2017/18

We're not playing

Kovacic with a very stupid pass now gifting them a dangerous fk
 
Kovacic was also injured a couple months btw
 
Madrid in this game, reminds me of how United plays after we have scored one goal against a smaller team. They have given away control of the game and are just happy defending.
 
Madrid's midfield sucks today. No Modric, no Kroos, no Isco and Casemero is not the midfielder he was last season. Add the fact that Marcello has been forced out and we might just have a balanced game here.
 
Today I read of an "itk" (unreliable) on twitter that Madrid want to pay Fabián clause(15m). The boy looks good, but I wonder if it wouldn´t be Ceballos 2.0
Imagine if we play Europa league next year :lol: :(
 
Pathetic first half from us. No urgency at all
 
Benzema (currently on the bench) is the reason for Real Madrid going from 0-1 to 2-1 against Betis while being outplayed af...,,
 
Underestimating the game too much ? Madrid's lineup shows that.

They've given up on the league and are going all in on the champions league.

They'll probably get at least a draw out of this game anyway with another Ronaldo penalty.
 
Madrid need Modric and Isco on the pitch, they're playing without a midfield. They're also not even pretending to care about this
 
Theo aswell, they're both just not good enough.

That's right

And what was up with Nacho there? I felt he could have knocked that ball out It seemed he had just a little bit of time to do that.
 
Betis playing great - is this normal for them, or game-raising?

Betis are a great team to watch. Pass between the lines so well.

Big problem they have is they concede too many cheap goals from overplaying at the back particularly away from home. They're a good team to watch if you're a neutral and just want to see a game with some goals in it.
 
This has nothing to do with lineup or quality, we just didn't show up. Unacceptable performance so far

Making CL a do or die it's then. Either winning it and become the heroes or lose everything.

Isn't that a risky strategy with Sevilla and Villarreal and possibly even Betis themselves on their tails. There's no guarantee they'll win the Champions League. Europa League could be a possibility next season, if they don't shape up soon.

TBF, they're 3 points ahead of Seville with one game in hand. I found it impossible to lose a probable 6 points gab to Seville. They'll finish 4th or 3rd depending on their CL run. It'll be a complete failure season if they got knocked out of CL anyway.

They've already lost 4 and drawn 6 games this season. I don't think it's unrealistic at all that they could lose another 2 or 3 games and draw even more. It's not impossible at all.
 
Why is United not after this Fabian Ruiz Pena kid? Awesome player.

Problem isn't in Madrid. Seville are pretty inconsistent to put a real challenge for Madrid. Otherwise they would have been closer to Madrid than what they're now.
