Number of Real Madrid dismissals under Mourinho now stands at 16

The controversy surrounding the dismissal of Real Madrid’s Sami Khedira at Levante has had the Spanish Press looking at the number of dismissals Los Blancos have had since José Mourinho took the reins at the Santiago Bernabéu.

In the 13 months since the Portuguese arrived the number of players to have been sent off before the end of the 90 minutes has now reached 16, with Khedira and Marcelo - the Brazilian was red-carded against Dinamo Zagreb last week - the latest ones to join the list. This figure has been achieved in 65 games under Mourinho, or at rate of one for every four played.

Under Manuel Pellegrini, the 2009/10 season resulted in five red cards in 48 official games while the 2008/09 campaign, shared between Bernd Schuster and Juande Ramos, saw 11 in 50. This means it has taken Mourinho’s team just one season to reach the 16 expulsions achieved in the previous two.

In a poll conducted by AS, in which 119,483 people took part, 65% blamed Mourinho as the main culprit for the brawl at Levante which resulted in Khedira’s dismissal, with 19% blaming referee Turienzo Álvarez and 16% Khedira and Ángel di María.

It's not only the red cards that they are shown. It is mostly about the red cards that they are spared. Pepe and Marcelo should be shown reds before the game starts, since it is inevitable that they will avoid fouling, diving and generalized cuntiness. As for Di Maria, Ramos and sometimes Alonso, the less said the better.

Yip, is it a friendly rivalry or something? Of course, you would expect Real to have overall the better record, but it has been embarassingly one-sided. At least in our's, to a huge degree, Espanyol put up a fight

Only the part of the dressing room that doesn't have Jorge Mendes as a client. That's where the press thinks the split is.

It falls to Casilas to inspire his teammates to do better. I'm sure he doesnt believe Barca have lost their possition... I mean how would they have lost it... We beat them for the Spanish Super Cup, we picked up the European Super Cup not to mention the havoc we wreaked last season (manita, semi final win over Merda, totaly dominating the final and many more)...

7 - Seven points from four games is Real Madrid's worst start to a league campaign since 05/06 (six pts from four). Sluggish
