how is that?

has to be that.

when is arbeloa coming back?

casilas would be starting on this round? words from ancelotti

Casemiro LB? r u high brah?

Pepe instead of Nacho even though I hate the Pepe-Ramos partnership

And Benzema should see the bench..

no choice brah, his body and ability make him not a big prob playing there, and his opponent would be hamit,

at worst, he will be another nacho at lb.

most importantly, he fit in there just to make nacho available at cb instead of awful pepe.

Pepe will play be it we like it or not. Hopefully either Marcelo or Cacktrao are back by then so that we don't have to suffer again

I feel like one of isco and modric needs to be benched because although they are both great with the ball there isn't alot of defensive stability when they play at the same time

I am hoping we play anyone but Benz as our striker because he doesn't really act as it which really hurts us.

CONVOCATORIA DEL REAL MADRID
Porteros: Casillas, Diego López y Jesús.
Defensas: Pepe, Ramos, Khedira, Carvajal, Arbeloa, Nacho y Casado.
Centrocampistas: Bale, Casemiro, Modric, Di María, Isco e Illarramendi.
Delanteros: Cristiano Ronaldo, Benzema, Jesé y Morata

Arbeloa will probably be used as our LB. Hopefully Carlo has learnt from his mistakes and does something about our defending

This game has Benzema written all over him, he will play better in this match and fans will forget his poor matches this season.

Or he could do worse and be criticized more than ever with France and Madrid.

I have a feeling Galatasaray will win this game.

Draw your tactical diagram with this11.com

This is something I like us to try.

I feel playing Arbeloa at LB will just recreate our problem there. This is the same guy who can't even play great in his natural position. I'd much prefer it if Casado played there who is a LB or DiMaria who wouldn't have too much problem playing there

as for the other players. I would prefer a midfield of Casemiro-Illarramendi-Isco and DiMaria-Bale-Ronaldo attack. Something tells me however that Carlo will go with the most trusted 11 and use the laliga games to integrate the new guys

@struga. Jese has got to be good with the ball at his feet if he is to succeed there which he isn't. he is more of the kind of guy who likes to take on players and get into goalscoring positions and score.

how about move back bale to LB  

remind me 3 years ago, mou wanted bale to replace marcelo

So Casillas is injured huh... seems like he's doomed

Kind of a boring game... lacks chances, didn't expect this, dissapointment so far.

Ronaldo tha goat ladies and gentleman... raping istanbul's defense.. 6-1, surprising to say the least...

We played better on the counter than we did when we were focusing on keeping possession. Hopefully we give up that idea and focus on what's working instead of what isn't.

Although we won 6-1, defensively the team was poor. There was too much sitting back at the start and no pressing. The backline was again too deep. Pepe again was poor, hopefully Varane returns soon. Ramos was inconsistent too.

Carvajal had a good game, so did Modric, Isco and Ronaldo. Di Maria had a decent game and Lopez made a good save.

Although Benzema scored 2, he again had a poor game. He's too sluggish on the ball and loses the ball too much. He needs more agility.

mt your crazy benzema had a very good game, ozil was sold instead of him just let it go

Benzema played good.

Benzema looked pretty fast to me today.

MT talking madness as usual. Galatasary got sucker punched twice and lost their composure after that and the team took full advantage of it.

A great victory in a country where the club usually doesn't do well in...

Oh and to keep up with the trend, Benzema had a good game. His movement was great and he scored his goals like a CF should. He even closed down more than he usually does.

Benz was top class whole game along with Carvajal.

CR was a liability in the 1st.

I knew it would happen, I sensed it.
