Lol imagine if bale throws another tantrum about wanting to start. I think lucas will be the victim though. I'd rather bale prove his worth than just being granted a starting place. But I presume lucas will be the fall guy

Solari ain't benching vini doesn't make sense, other than benzema who else is comfortable beating their maker and creating consistenly? Also vini and Benz have a good understanding which help vini mature faster, so bale for Lucas is the play available to Solari imo.

I haven't seen a single player on our team do anything consistently this season, to be honest. It looks like we've got momentum now. I hope it continues.

We ended up going through the motions in the 2nd half. Thought Asensio had a decent cameo. Bale meh. Lucas missing open nets, in other news sky is blue, grass is green etc

Happy for Llorente with that goal. Marcelo is so God damn frustrating, even Faubert would get past him. Thank God for Reguillon

Solari will never bench Lucas, he's his knight and shining armor

I have this theory based on my own viewing, could be wrong and I may need Tito on this: Lucas reminds Solari of himself.

Solari wasn't exactly this exceptional winger but he wasn't shit. Pretty decent winger who could be really good on his day but would be pretty decent most of the time. Would work hard, be a pseudo left back and do quite a lot of water carrying for Don Vicente. Just like Lucas. And like Lucas, he was a determined footballer and brave too, just limited by what he can do with a ball. Just like Lucas.

Just my hunch but Solari sees himself in Lucas and despite my own personal take on Lucas, Madrid does need players like him around. The Lucas'. The Geremi's. The Solari's. In any case, Bale refuses to be a winger so why not Lucas at this point.

I'm not making any of those claims. Just pointing out that we've been playing below our usual standards, in terms of consistency this season. That obviously includes Benzema, who's been performing well in patches.

@doc , whilst your observation does make a lot of sense (never though of it that way), i think, the fact that the other 2 alternatives ala asensio and isco are wetting the bed has made that decision easier

No one needs a player like Lucas Vazquez.

Dude is out here missing from point blank range every other game. He’s almost 28, has no elite skill at all, and he’s annoying to look at.

He might be the worst Madrid player that has ever gotten actual playing time.

Compared to you @Freeza, my disdain for Lucas would seem fake. My goodness, you really don't like the man lmao.

Guy has made me appreciate Bale tbh.

At least Bale only plays 50% of the times.

I'm not a huge fan of his lack of ability and tendency to take on multiple players either, but who would you guys suggest we replace him with? Under normal circumstances, he'd be a versatile, hard-working bench player who can provide defensive cover if needed. One under-appreciated thing about him, is that he's never complained about being on the bench. We could bring in someone who's more skillful than him, but they would likely not settle for playing second fiddle to Bale or another high-profile signing, and you'd be surprised at how few players there are out there, who are willing to do the dirty work that Vasquez does, and not even complain about lack of playing time. Ideally, Vasquez would only play during the last couple of minutes in a match, or when a starting player absolutely has to be taken off. I'd prefer if we could replace Bale with someone who's more reliable, and just limit the necessity for playing Vasquez, at all. Vasquez is not starter material, but I'm sure our coaches consider him useful as a tactical alternative.

I’d rather play Rodrygo right now. He’s clearly superior to Vazquez.

Coaches like Vazquez because he does whatever they want. This is why I think Bale will replace Vinicius instead of Vazquez when he’s fit-ish.

I'm pretty sure they like him because he works hard, tracks back and doesn't mind rotting on the bench. Also, he's not young, so they don't need to feel like they're spoiling his progress by letting him rot on the bench Razz

Your best buddy, Bale is the reason why Vasquez is even playing so much. If Rodrygo is as good as people say he is, and he manages to keep himself fit, then our problem's solved. Until then, enjoy our Balesquez right side of pain.

Also rather play Asensio. Though it's not a good sign I forgot about him Laughing

Rodrygo is that good. He's a physical marvel. I just don't understand why we're not bringing him right now. Our team right now is perfect to integrate young player because we haven't got any established star in the attack.

That's mainly why Vinicius has been able to prove so much.

Guess we have a deal with Santos so they can avoid relegation or something.

Poor Lucas, getting so much hate left right and center

When every player were walking in games, Lucas came in and provided intensity. Us pressuring high, works because of Lucas. Before he came into the line up nobody gave a fack, player were shrugging after conceding other didn't want to take responsibility. Then Lucas comes on, started scoring and assisting some key goals, actually helping Benz regain his form. And now FINALLY we have managed to pick up consistency

Zidane loved him, started him in tough CL games, and now Solari

Sometimes he can be frustrating taking on player and losing the ball but I'd rather that than an Asensio for eg who isn't confident taking on platers or a Bale who is absent because he wants to have long balls played to him. I am 100% if we stick Lucas on Alba we'd create many chances unlike when we play Bale and he doesn't beat him once all game

When Rodrygo gets here and he has the same determination as Vini, he'll easily replace Lucas but as of now I feel we'd be worse off with the other alternatives

Lucas hate is a bit over the top but that more about giving his spot to certain slow ass midget, so who cares? He is gonna keep playing for now needs to improve a bit still.

clasico semi? knew it very happy good measuring stick for Solari and the re-energized madrid to see how well they match up, should beat them too since other than Messi don't really fear their team tbh.

We would be so much better if one of Bale or Isco got into form in order to pair upfront with Vini and Benz

Our season can look incredibly hopeful or we can actually have the most epic meltdown to ever be witness in the space of 6 games.



Love it.
