La Liga 23/24

Damn, somebody check the temp, somebody got cooked in here

Don't understand why we won't go double pivot. Got players for it

More or less is.

Kroos and Touchyfeely both at DM.

But two sitters is too much. Need one with more freedom surely.

I wonder how can Serghei be watching this and think Real is the better team?
We are better in all aspects. Set up better tactically, better squad, better squad harmony, better young talent... but Real won a CL 2 seasons ago.

Truth is they have been on a decline for a while now and that double by Ancelotti was a mirage.

But need wingers out wide
Take Rodry left and Brahim right to give Bellingham more to do
Would do with a more mobile forward up top but got nothing to go on
Instead it's so lopsided that Fran who can only run well is asked to do lots and Carvajal making Valverde passive at RM

Agreed as said would have Valverde right up on RW and Rodrygo on other side.

To easy for Sociedad to funnel ball wide to Carvajal and worlds worst footballer Fran Garcia in that half.

Squad is just thin.

Likes of Joselu and Garcia are hardly starting quality for mid table let alone Real Madrid.

Neither are Carvajal or Kepa or Kroos at this point really.

Real fans will be probably happy when ancelotti goes and xabi comes

Fran Garcia can find a job as a fitness influencer if football doesnt work out at least 😂

 

[JamDav1982]

If going to play Joselu then at least get ball in from wide.. they are not even doing that so far.

Ancelotti has blame, but its not all him, the squad hasn't been reinforced properly either.
A lot of important players have aged out or left the club and haven't been replaced or he's been forced to continue to rely on them.

It's not thin enough to not play that
Brahim showed many a time he's up for it

But Carlo is so fucking Tory about it he will only ever change anything when team losing or getting outplayed badly

Need Fede and Tchou sitting and get Brahim wide
Bin Kroos, he's making other players worse

agree, replacing benz with joselu was their biggest mistake lol

 

[ajnotkeith]

Seeing that they're playing likes of Garcia, Joselu, Carvajal... one has to wonder why they weren't in for Felix and Cancelo too when they were available.

Would have improved their team miles.

 

[JamDav1982]

Yeah Real have some weaknesses but they are not even playing a set up that suits players they have that half.

Looked chaotic and not real structure.

Some kind of 442 with two DMs and AM/Strikers that just go where they want.
