Real Madrid (old thread)

there is possibly no way we are winning this against madrid ..... no way ....

Both Coentrao (subbed out and replaced by Nelson in the squad) and Marcelo (twisted ankle) got injured during internationals.

Arbeloa LB?

Arbeloa LB?

It could be worse Wolfe...

You could have Adriano starting in the centre of defense

 

[FCBarca]

No Piqué, no Puyol, no Abidal and no €400 million in bench players to choose from either

Arbeloa LB?

He's out for 3 months with broken metatarsal apparently.

 

[Raed]

Coentrao?

 

[El Gato]

Out too. No official news as to the injury yet. As always with Portuguese doctors..

 

[Raed]

Who is out for three months?

 

[El Gato]

Marcelo.

 

[Beast]

Arbeloa or a Castilla LB , this means either Ramos slotted in the RB position or Essien

expected stuff during the season i hope we cope with the schedule and Coentrao man up

 

[El Gato]

Coentrao out for a month.

 

[Beast]

I know that's why i said Arbeloa or Castilla LB... I mentioned Coentrao as when he returns to the team which will be long before Marcelo

Coentrao as per my info is out for two-3 weeks

 

[King Leo]

too bad it wasn't Pepe instead of Marcelo. RM will adjust without Coentrao and Marcelo as they have millions on the bench. But it could be interesting if this year's Liga race turns between Barca and The Mattress Makers

 

[Raed]

Didn't we or Liverpool use Arbeloa as an LB to contain Messi? He has played as LB before but I don't know what is best. To make three changes (and Varane gets continued experience) or make one change and have one Castilla
join the first team for a bit?

Jose would probably die before using the Castilla.

Well, he's played LB for Spain, he should do ok. No more overlapping runs and width at the left though
