Liga: Real Madrid vs Real Betis

Should be a cake walk but seeing our history against mid table teams I wouldn't be surprised if Betis walk away with a draw

According to ZZ there'll be rotations this game. Nacho is expected to come in for Pepe. Danilo might get a start too but for who I don't know. The midfield should see some changes. Casemiro is a yellow away from suspension and we play Bilbao next week so I wouldn't risk him. In the front line without Bale who starts is anyone's guess. It could be Lucas or James or Isco if he doesn't start in midfield

oh noooo danilo these days i get panic attacks when i hear danilo is involved in any way shape or form with anything match related

A triumph to be expected. Seeing Titosantill's post I guess danilo has not improved in my absence.

I trust our team to bring home the 3 points danilo or not.

Keep your eye on Ceballos #10 today. Club has had an interest in him for 2 years now. He is the next Spanish midfielder. Major player on Spanish youth team along with Asensio and Vallejo. The purchases Madrid have tried were to loan him right back to Betis.

Like Asensio, last year, and Vallejo, he needs further development. I'm taking a good look for myself today.

He was very good against Barca. He talks confidently about how to stop Ramos scoring headers though the best defenders in the world can't stop him what makes him think a midget from Betis knows how to

Would love to see this eleven in this system.

Barca loses to Depor

This is a must win to take the lead with 2 points with a game in hand

we'll all die before Zep plays Asensio on the right

Real Madrid XI vs. Betis: Navas; Carvajal, Ramos, Nacho, Marcelo; Rodriguez, Kroos, Modric; Isco, Morata, Ronaldo

So many different ways we could line up.

Think we are going with a 442 though.

I'm expecting at least 6 goals from us. We don't even need to play well to win anymore. We will win the Double this season. Hala Madrid.

Now is not the time to underestimate our opposition.

That said, Victory is a must. No more room for errors.

We keep conceding on errors and that gives our opponents extra energy while deflating us for a bit... Navas needs to stop this bs ffs.

We've been excellent too bad we aren't leading

James is so damn annoying. USE YOUR *bleep* RIGHT

Navas will be replaced this summer and no one will feel bad about it.

Oh and Kroos he is not even trying

@sport, I was in favour of keeping him but not so sure anymore. He seems to have a major clanger at least every other game

I feel sorry for Navas. His position was never secure and with these mistakes nobody will have any qualms if he leaves. Such a shame he really is a good person

Kroos is like Michael Carrick to me... really good at the few things he does. But really a problem when you need him to do a couple of things more. A great incomplete CM imo.

Navas needs to go. This is horrible stuff. Welcome De Gea.

James is so one footed he is totally ignoring Carvajals runs. James and Di Maria both are a lesson for professional footballers. Talent is not enough, train systematically.

Should've had a red
A horrible howler

Yeah its not looking good for Navas

The one position where you need an absolute rock of a player is GK. Better to be unspectacular but really consistent even....

@hala... Marcelo is crossing well finally lol. It took him 1 million practice attempts but I think he got it

Kroos is truly horrendous playing like a lone CM lol, it's hilarious. thank you lord we have casemiro

Modric should be with him. Why aren't they playing like they did under Carlo? You can't ask him to do what he is incapable of ffs! He is too immobile when the space is too big. So unathletic

Under Carlo Kroos was good for a couple of month and then he became crap later during the year.

In the second phase of the year, he is always struggly with fitness it seems.
