G, I still don't know when Benzema played a good game. Yes, he scored but he hasn't played any good game so far imo. Yesterday he pulled it off again. As far as Higuain is concerned, he doesn't have th econfidence to perform. He sees Benzema fucking it up as well but still gets benched. I cannot imagine that, really. higuain was the man last year and he gets rewarded by being a substitute for a newcomer who doesn't even shine or performs like th eother newcomers.Benzema is what i expect him to be inconsistent and need to rise up to big games , i don't remember him touching anything apart from one header , he was even too slow for Seville defense .given i know Escude & Squillaci know how to stop him from Ligue 1 but still the Frenchman need to shape up and stop sulking till then i'd play Higuain all the tough games and Benzema all the small games to gain confidence and form .

And your formation is just bloody copied from your soccermanager team.
Well, I don't really know why Raul should play a full game against Sevilla.i kinda agree regarding a good game but i also feel neither has Higuain or Raul
we play great 45 minutes or less and bad 45 minutes , it's like a saving plan (not an excuse i'm just looking back ) .
Higuain shined well when Robben was on the pitch , i guess it has to do with coordination with his team mates something Valdano addressed in his post match interview.
The press today are questioning Benzema and the investment made in him (hate to say i told them so alas ) he hasn't shined constantly but he is second highest scorer in Madrid after CR.
apart from last night and the CL game it's the first time Benzema played 2 consecutive games and i can say Higuain didn't make a case for himself this season par Zurich match.
regarding confidence i hardly think it's an issue for Higuain as he is protected by the ultimate guardian himself "Raul" , not only he is very close with Raul but i think the old man is preparing him to be his successor .
in the past seasons Higuain said all the right things about Raul and it was evident when Raul was on the bench in one of our games this & Higuain went straight to him when he scored taking instructions .
Benzema fucked up that great chance in the first half, was totally against the run of play and would have a been a big blow to Sevilla. He's always bloody slow! I always thought he was quick enough, not lightening but not a slouch either. I know Higuain hasn't set the world alight but I'd still give him some starts. He's far more talented and has shown he can score plenty at Real.
Real Madrid extends Bwin tie-up
BBC
Spanish football giants Real Madrid have extended their shirt sponsorship with Austrian online betting group Bwin by three years until 2013.
Experts say the nine-times European champions could earn more than 20m euros ($29.1m; £18.3m) a year from the renegotiated agreement.
Real Madrid president Florentino Perez said Bwin was "a loyal partner which understands sport".
Bwin's name first appeared on Madrid's shirt at the start of season 2007-08.
At the time the deal was said to be worth 15m to 20m euros a year.
Real Madrid's previous sponsor was BenQ, the German handset business of Taiwan's BenQ Corp, which went bust.
The Spanish club has gone on a spending spree over the summer months, acquiring Kaka, Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema and Xavi Alonso, spending more than £200m.
