LL R37 : Real Madrid vs Valencia

Danilo was awful....  crap.

James isn't a CM.  He doesn't know what to do defensively there. It's not effort either. It's positioning.

Kovacic needs to really work on positioning too.  He's not a CM either if that's the plan.  Another Isco and James project if that's our intent.

Marcelo never defended but he was better than Danilo for whatever that's worth

We won.  2nd place now.  But we won't win La Liga barring a miracle.

What are the chances Barca drop points at Grenada?

Atleti won the league iirc Barcelona got empty handed that season, we won both the CL and the Cup

I wish I could say that's what I meant, H, but I didn't.

I was incorrect and Claudio is right. My bad

1/5000 was Leicester City's odd - literally.

like that's an achievement. top kek.

It is as I said it was. The league is out of our hands. Someone has to screw up. next week we will see our fate in regards to the league.
Would like a Real Madrid triumph but the odds are surely stacked against us.

My fav. Arbeloa moment

not a fan of arbeloa's, (i can't ignore the fact his football was crap in the last 4 seasons) but that was also my favorite arbeloa moment (which again says a lot about his football). what shocks me is how, that whole scene of villa crying he was injured then becoming a gladiator ready for a fight when they lifted him up, was never given much coverage or harped upon when one talks about their diving antics. villa and pedro especially where ridiculous when it came to play-acting....and villa was never like that in valencia. oh arbeloa had one pass to higuain, i think it was against betis, when we last one la liga that i like. but his good moments on the pitch especially in the last 4 years are few and far between

he regressed badly starting with 14-15. he was decent in 12-14 period and good in his first 3 seasons. wonderful servant and leader.

I think pretty much every single team has divers in its ranks. But that Barça team was second to none in that department. Boy, did they dive! And that David Villa flashback? I remember I lost all respect I had for him that day.

Ah yes, totally forgot about that moment. If David Villa didn't feel shame for such a really poor attempt at feigning an injury, I felt it for him. Tito is also correct, he never was like that at Valencia. Funnily enough, GL mirrored the tension that was shown in the Clasico in the Mourinho years.

Anyway, Arby made a good career for himself at Madrid. He was decent to good at the start but he eventually fell off quite hard but he'll still have that certain level respect from fans. Thanks for the service and continue pestering Pique on Twitter.
