[Ursegor]

No Ramos and no Pepe = 2 clean sheets in a row. As you would expect.

Three.

That looks tough as hell, to be honest... Do you think Mou will give less importance to the League games to focus in CL and Copa? I mean, I don't see RM getting lower than the 3rd place in the League anyway, but that would mean having to play the qualifying stage for CL, which is not ideal during pre-season, not because of the difficulty of the match but for the fitness of players...

From today:
"Ernesto valverde ha sido expulsado por tirar los guantes al suelo y pedir que se realizara el cambio."
Having watched some of Rm's games from this season, I can understand why many madridistas find Barca boring. Their games are more entertaining than a comedy show.

After I said that probably RM are going to beat us in CdR and Beast will remind us that we're at the end of a cycle, but it was worth it.

4:th place is qualification, not third

I was wondering, if you managed Madrid, what lineup would you play? Now, we're thinking if you actually want the club to succeed, not to get them relegated. I would play this.

-------------------Casillas----------------
---Ramos----Varane----Pepe----Marcelo---
-----------Khedira------Alonso------------
-----Ozil--------Kaka---Modric/Ronaldo-----
------------Ronaldo/Benzema-----------------

You are forgetting Ronaldo doesnt want to play as striker. His goal/shots ratio is bad. His wild shots sometimes bounce in the box for Higuain/Benzema to put away. His pace is best utilized at the left flank
And ozil on the left flank will be completely isolated.

 

[Stric]

Why put the left-footed Ozil on the left and the right-footed Modrić on the right? Isn't this the opposite of what worked for them (and many other teams) so far? I guess it depends on what you would use them for, though. I'd personally put it the other way around, make it easier for them to shoot, and rely on Marcelo/Ramos for crossing.

 

[Semi-Neutral]

Fair enough, I'll edit it. But the formation in general is better, no? Maybe we can put Ronaldo on LW and have Benzema up top instead?
