Real Madrid (old thread)

Jose would probably die before using the Castilla.

Especially when we can't afford to lose any more points. So, it's probably Arbeloa as LB and Essien as RB. But when was the last time Arbeloa played on the left? It'll take some time getting used to a not-so-familiar position. And like the above poster said, Marcelo/Coentrao's offensive contribution will be missed. The next three league matches will be against Celta, Mallorca, and Zaragoza, so maybe we can manage. But it'll be tough against Dortmund.

Funny and sad how we were well covered in one of the hardest positions by two world class players, then they both get injured and we have no sufficient backup. Oh well, hope the best for Marcelo and Fabio.

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

Blasphemy!

 

[Clockwise]

Ah good to see Arbelola around again

 

[El Gato]

Arbeloa out now.

We're left with Essien and Albiol/Ramos cover on the FB positions

 

[Barcaman]

Where's Carvalho?

 

[El Gato]

Chilling somewhere in La Rambla.

Arbeloa, Marcelo, Coentrao, Benzema Injured. LOL. Mourinho will sue some people.

But both Arbeloa and Benzema seem to be short term

Now it's Higuain turn

Close enough. But it was a sliding tackle that caused it.
