Real Madrid need to get ready for a terrible season | It’s happening
- Thread starter shamans
- Start date
Heh. We lost the clasico even worse in 2015 with Benitez....
Didn’t Mourinho lose his first Classico by a boatload of goals too?
I think he was more successfull with that system at Juve, Italy or Chelsea, but I remember when he arrived at Chelsea starting with a back 4. Not very succesfull must be said. It will be hilarious watching Ramos, Varane and Nacho and him freaking out with Ramos brainfarts.
Marcelo as a wing back could be tasty though
At least he nailed the Lucas for Varane sub
You had control of the game for 20 minutes after that sub. If he had replaced Isco with Asenjio in that period, you'd have conpleted the comeback.
Same as the Spanish team. A lot of good technical midfielders and attacking midfielders but not enough regular goal getters
Lost 5-0 at the nou camp in 2010.
It really is. Whoever is responsible for their failure to sign an attacker needs sacking. Monumental mistake.Selling their 50 goal a season CF and then hedging their bets on Bale staying fit
One of the worst decisions ever taken by a top club.
Toni Kroos looks more like Tom Cleverly these days. What on earth has happened to him?
Selling Ronaldo for big money and replacing him with crap - sounds familiar!!
If they sign players from other UCL clubs in winter transfer are those players still allowed to play Champions league ?
If yes then I can see them bidding big for Hazard, Sterling and Skiniar probably . Have a bad feeling that if Martial doesnt sign a new contract soon then they might even try for him considering his current good form .

Yeah things dont look great do they? But selling ronaldo without buying a replacement striker was pure stupidity on perez' part. Benzema has spent the last few seasons being a playmaker for Ronaldo while not spending enough time on his own game so i don't think he was ever going to step up and score enough goals.
Also, i cant help but think during Zidanes time at the bernabeu that he wasn't backed properly. Maybe he felt he didnt need any additions or maybe it was perez. But during his time their he only bought 6 players and none of them were bought as a starter -Vinicius Júnior
Alvaro Morata
Theo Hernandez
Dani Ceballos
Martin ödegaard
Eero Markkanen
A couple of future prospects but none with the quality that they now need. Real obvioulsly had a top first 11 and i know it is difficult to bring in real quality unless there is a starting place but questions are now being asked of the quality of the team without Ronaldo.
Who ever comes in will need to be backed and with a very large amount of money!

Yes
Don't really follow La Liga at the moment. Just seen the result today and noticed Madrid are pretty much in our position.
Wonder who will sack their manager first.
Easiest question ever. People criticize Madrid's board for being too trigger happy in sacking their managers and there is definitely some truth to it, but it's a much preferable alternative to what Woodward does with our managers dragging out our suffering for at least 6 months until it becomes mathematically impossible for us to qualify for the CL.
Conte in?
Hazard stays then.
I wonder how much they are going to pay us for Victor Moses.

Serious question. Would Madrid swap Lukaku for Bale?
Here's hoping.
Rather ask for Casemiro.
They should have gone all our for Hazard and Lewandowski. Even though the later is in decline.
Hazard, Lewa and Bale would have been a lot better than the crap they have out there.
What the feck are they going to do with Lucas, Mariano and co?

Replacing sir alex with moyes or letting Tevez and Ronaldo go and replace them with owen and Valencia.Selling their 50 goal a season CF and then hedging their bets on Bale staying fit
One of the worst decisions ever taken by a top club.
They just don't accept mediocrity. Team is not performing and it's shaping to be a bad season = you are out. What we do instead? Delay the inevitable by haggling over a few million for compensation and wait until our season is officially fecked. And unlike La Liga where you will finish 4th at worst, we finish out of TOP 4, miss next year's CL and a huge amount of money due to it.
If that doesn't sack him, I don't know what will.
At least they scored today.

Maybe, just maybe Conte will want Lukaku. What a feck up by Madrid.
Only if he hasn't followed much football since he parted with Chelsea. Especially Lukaku's last 8 games.
Interested to see how those mega-ego's at RM handle Conte's fiery personality and ultra demanding training methods. Seems like a terrible match for that club, tbh.
Is that Real dressing room just going to disrespect every non-fancy coach? I feel like they didn't give Benitez and Lopetegui any chance at all.
Modric best player of 2018
All this Madrid mess proves again the point, a right manager would make hell lot of difference to any player includes a readymade world-class one
Don't think the current RM Madrid is capable of getting best out of the players
Their team is in a right mess tho. The core won it all on all levels and there is bound to be some complacency. Modric, Kroos will begin to fade, Benzema and Bale can't be trusted to replace Ronaldo's goals.
They needed to invest heavily this Summer to keep up with Barca and they didn't. Lopetegui is also out of his dept like Moyes was. They've screwed so many things for such a short period of time so it isn't really surprising what is happening to them this season.
Watched some parts of the game against Plzen - they struggled even against them.
And yet we won 4 of the last 5 CL???? you don't make any sense.
Conte to Real?
Eden, come to Bayern!
Eden, come to Bayern!
Well next two seasons Man. United won the league and finished one point off Chelsea in 09/10. Also reached a CL final.
Real Madrid will do very well to match that I think.
This.Modric best player of 2018
Must have been Harry Redknapp deciding on the winner.
You won 4 of the last 5 Champions Leagues despite not having enough quality to pull off a feat like that. I don't believe I'll ever see a team do something like that again, it was incredible what those players achieved.
I'm not saying those are crap players, just that a lot of them are overrated because of what they achieved, their reputation comes from their trophy cabinet rather than what they show on the pitch.
I didn't think they'd be this bad, but I thought they would have signed a galactico to replace Ronaldo.
Really bad summer from them. Lope has got to go ASAP.
Amazingly, it just speaks volumes to how incredible SAF was that without Ronaldo the following season, we still challenged for the Prem(and probably win were it not for Rooney's injury).
