We need to get rid of these trio to remove some major weaknesses!

These three are the new flavor of "cancer to our team", well may be not new, but we just need to get rid of these. Until we do, we wont be able to progress into an effective team that can beat anyone anytime. There is also a matter of alonso, but i expect him to be gone by next year.

These scrubs have been in the club enough already, who is with me on this....

Also along with them Pepe and possibly Benzema if he fails to deliver by the end of the season. However if all them want to stay as backup, then that's ok, however they can't be starting the majority of games.

nononono, not even backup. they just crawl into manager's starting eleven somehow after impressing against scrubs and loose us matches.

we can have youngsters in these positions.

As for benz and pepe, i am totally happy if these two stays, since they are more passive type of players. they don't destroy our tactics or team combinations or are like major MAJOR weaknesses in the team starting lineup.

Agree 100%, Khedira and Arbeloa are pure shit.. Di Maria has his moments but a lot of times just leaves me scratching my head

Kheidra is someone that if he were to leave, he would hardly be missed. Same with Arbeloa.

Di Maria has done well but like you said there are moment where I'm just but if we can keep him I'm totally okay with that.

Most of those players you guys are calling scrubs would do pretty well in most bigs teams.

Actually Most big teams don't have WC players at every positions. But they got kind of players that complement WC ones.

Exactly what Di maria , Benzema, Khedira are imo.

Who would you replace them with?

Di Maria consistently the most underrated player in your squad. This year alone he has already won games for you, and by the end of the season you'll be glad you have him as an option to Bale.

 RM needs Alonso back asap

even on the day that dimaria don't 'deliver' he still provide tons of other service. ozil is gone , and now u want the other 1 that can initiate a play gone as well?
for now, opponent defender just need to care much on dimaria-ronaldo link, that's why he appear figured-out some times, on the day he's not, who exactly can emulate those beauty play?

Di Maria has been our best player so far into the season after Ronaldo and these scrubs want him gone

This section leaves me scratching my head more than anything... The "we-need-to-replace-everyone" mentality is just ridiculous, I'm blaming our lack of success so far on the manager more than any player.

After we sold Ozil, now Di Maria ?

certainly arent new issues.

the problem is replacing these players. im under the impression that most madrid fans think we already have sufficient cover saying things like jese > di maria. ive seen jese > bale. and ive seen that people think a midfield of illarra, modric, and isco could work.

first of all di maria has been mostly great this season so far apart from el clasico. and it was already said but he is a good alternative to bale and i think since we sold ozil we absolutely need to hold on to di maria for the time being.

as for khedira he is playing because there is no alternative. carlo realizes we need a b2b player in this set up and no one outside of khedira can play that role.

if madrid went for pogba or vidal this would be a different story. there are also quite a few other options i have proposed in the past, but until we make a move for a proper midfielder we are stuck with khedira unfortunately.

as for arbeloa- he can go for all i care we have carvajal. i still wouldnt mind him if he just played back up to marcelo and carvajal.

Khedira faces six months out

will he be missed?

Yeah, I was just about to say, 1 of your 3 just did his ACL.

ffs..

no way. Time for Casemiro to step up perhaps  

I f***ing hate friendlies.

Well couldn't care less tbh, we don't need him and someone else (Casemiro) can fill role just perfect, since he is a better footballer imo. The only thing that pains me is that we can't sell him for a ridiculous price anymore, would have preferred that to him getting injured, as it also must be painful for him.

Should be a blessing in disguise. Isco can now possibly get his spot back.

Casemiro wouldn't suit the B2B role. He's a pure DM. Ideally Casemiro would take Alonso's spot and Isco Khedira's spot. Casemiro, Modric and Isco midfield.

However I doubt Alonso's going to be benched. Di Maria, Modric, Alonso midfield?

dimaria could be the side midfielder in 4-3-3. he does that for argentina

feel not convinced on using isco as midfield. he's better as att.mid or winger.

Di Maria has been shit every time he was played in the midfield.

Think we'll see a Isco-Alonso-Modric.

No way. We will be destroyed with that formation.

I was thinking about a 5-2-3/3-4-3

Damn, not a fan of him as a player but I would never want anyone to tear their ACL.. Hope he recovers in time for the World Cup

Wow just when Khedira was stringing together a couple of very good performances. His efforts are very very under-rated by the Madrid fans in general, but its okay coz his is probably the least glamorous position on the pitch, and he's also easy scapegoat for our other short comings.

My preferred formation would be: 4-3-3


I've seen of Angel with Argentina to know that he could be a great fit in there. It would even play well Carlo's approach towards a zonal system all around the pitch. Angel dosent shy away from tracking back and in turn could shore up things on Bales wings, and even provide options on the overlap, if Bale should pop inside.

Make it happen Carletto
