It's not an option for the players to change their positions whilst they are still getting together and trying to master one formation. I can't imagine Jose leaving the bench as it is right now without a proper striker on there.

I must say I had a bad image of him, but on Monday he was the best RM player, surprisingly he was the only RM defender who did not kick anynbody and he was trying to stop the fights anywhere. I just couldn't believe it. Hope this the Pepe we will see from now on. A lot better for Madrid and for everybody else

I wouldn't say he was the best, because he did as bad as our defence in general (although no-one did worse than Ramos), I'd say he played on a steadily low level. 10 successful tackles, but not enough cooperation with his teammates etc. He was one of those who don't deserve to get shit thrown over them, the other two for me would be Benzema and Lass.
As far as Benzema goes, Beast, I don't fully understand your crusade against Karim. I know he had a bad game, the whole team did, but you spreading filth about him is weird. I would say he was one of those players who actually tried to do something upfront and tried to connect with midfield by helping out, he didn't have too much success at that because it's Barca and he clearly was thrown into a deep shit with unexpected first team appearance on the position he isn't yet familiar with. That surprise with Higuain not getting healthier on time was crucial for his mentality, because he couldn't be prepared for such pressure. There was already huge pressure on him to show what he's worth by making every single substitution of his really good, otherwise he would go back to the starting point and earning respect all over again. Imagin what pressure was on him during Clasico when he had to deal with the best team in the world today out of nowhere, playing as a lone striker. Right now he will also be under a lot of pressure, because he is the only proper striker left and he will be responsible for causing danger at Mestalla. There always is pressure when you're playing for Real, but he is the special case and he needs to learn to be able to cope with this amount of expectations and he won't do so if he's constantly being harassed.
I get the criticism, but he definitely doesn't deserve to be the one who people like to wipe the floor with, likes of Ronaldo, Alonso or Ramos deserve a lot of criticism, but not Benzema. He needs support, the whole team needs it right now.
PS: I know I was the one putting '>' sign between him and Higuain, but it's fully justified as one is better than the other. Calling him a waste of money is justified too, not that I want him to be so.

Gio is right to "spread filth" about Benzema. He is a-w-f-u-l. And he always has been. He's the ultimate offside machine, and he's just a moody little twat gangster kid.
Every time Barca played a team and Benzema was starting, I was super confident that we would win. Because Benzema would do more harm than good.

Lol tbh judging by this season, Villa is the ultimate offside machine. But that's largely down to his enthusiasm in going too early, Benzema's just too lazy to get his ass back onside.

Oh yeah, Valencia gonna win
?? RM will win. Mou will be desperate to show that he wasn't effected by the loss and what better way for him to do it than to come back with a win?

If it was at the Mestalla I think Madrid could of had a massive issue, without Higuain and with Valencia playing really really well (despite the big time chokers that they are) but at the Bernabeu, no, Madrid will win.

Hmm, Jonathan28 being extremely optimistic and the rest of you (especially Jordzibob) disagreeing...what does this remind me of? 
Higuain out, Ramos out, Cristiano probably out...the rest of the players will be down on their morale as well, I think this is a perfect chance for Valencia to become the first team in however many years to beat Mourinho at home in a league match. I certainly hope they do.

I think so- http://www.marca.com/2010/12/01/futbol/equipos/real_madrid/1291197239.html
Apparently he was injured when he collided with Valdes during the match.
