Villarato!
Absolute lack of connection between the formations, add to that tiredness and latter frustration and we have a 'great' result. We missed Marcelo and Alonso (first stayed in Madrid with fever, the other sat on the bench not fully recovered from fever) in their best form, no creativity in the midfield provided from the DMs and our tactics involved a long ball to Ronaldo and wait till he makes something out of it.
Ozil played his heart out again with his passing and really stepped up after Osasuna scored, but alone he couldn't make something happen.
Ronaldo lost his cool 2 games back and started to shoot from unprepared positions together with missing sitters from 7 meters out.
Benzema actually didn't play that bad, it was the midfield not giving him any opportunities to score. Same with Adebayor who actually has tried his best to do well, he made a crucial interception 30 meters away from Osa's goal, but didn't pass it in time to Ronaldo and wasted one of the opportunities, but you can't really judge him.
Lass created chaos again and got a yellow after 10 mins(?) into the game. Him and Sami don't have any offensive tools to make it happen for our forwards so Ozil was overran by Osa midfield.
Kaka and Di Maria were absolutely awful. No production from either of them whatsoever.
And also what Raed pointed out, Jose lost this game for us. It's mostly his managing that led to us struggling upfront and it's his decisions of waiting until Osasuna score (after the goal he made 3 subs at once Kaka, Alonso and Adebayor) before he tries to put the pieces together in the midfield to take control over the game. He should have put Granero out to play just so there is a connection between defence and offense.
Gotta give credit to Osasuna though. They defended really well and didn't break down under pressure to let us score. They only had about 4 chances to score (3 due to defence mistakes) and used them sufficiently.
PS: Osa's supporters behaviour was disgraceful. 3 times we had an opportunity to make a good inside pass into the box and 3 times the supporters have thrown the ball on the field making the official to stop the game.

Pandiani is a cretin. Always despised him.
Bit weird calling Ronaldo crazy and then saying Ronaldo should shutup until he's won what he's won. He has 3 Copa Del Rey wins, at the age off 34. I'm Sure Ronaldo goes home, Looks at his CL Winners Medal, 3 PL Winners Medal, Club World Cup and Ballon D'or and just begins to cry at the thought that has not won 3 Copa'd like Walter Pandiani.

Pandiani with his truck:
Funny comments aside Pandiani has an interesting life story, I don't know how anyone could be hostile toward him.

Pandiani's comments were pathetic? How pathetic was Ronaldo then, Mancy? I don't know why you're so offended, his comments were brilliant. Especially the bit about the 602 euro fine
He was his usual Petulant self. Didnt feel the need to bring it up, as everyone knows his personality off the field.
Good one btw, Does Valon give you all your jokes?
