Real Madrid vs Levante

Can’t believe we’re playing the same team that fucked up last time

Yeah, but take this match for example. They created a chance on a counter attack within the first 20 minutes that could’ve and should’ve been a goal. They didn’t score because they somehow managed to overcook and fluff the pass to the guy that would’ve been through on goal. Danger averted, despite the blatant lack of awareness in seeing their player run in behind our defense.

Can’t complain, of course, but I don’t think we look all that solid at the back. At least, I would never have predicted that we’ve conceded less goals than any other team in the league.

That was all due to Marcelo. He’s the problem. He rushed trying to get the ball and everyone had to rotate, which leaves us thin in defense.

He’s such an enormous liability. We’ve got one of the best defenders in the world with Mendy and one of the worst of top teams with Marcelo

Levante a such a team of diving cunts... and the referee just allows it...

Imagine if Benzema was also a good finisher... that footballer would be a dream to watch

Two huge missed chances now. Should have scored 2. Why he decided to pass on the second one is wild to me

I agree with this part. When you look at us, even when Mendy is on, you don't get the feeling that we are this impregnable hedgehog that conceded less than other team in the league.

My explanation is, we have two CBs who are pretty hot-and-cold. On their day, they are amazing, but they are also and almost always prone to making mistakes. And the reason we have conceded less is because those two have been on the hot side more so than the cold one so far this season, but you never know when everything changes.

Prime Benzema has a good shot at goal and decides to pass it instead

Can't believe we're still 0-0. The amount of great goalscoring chances we've created so far should've been enough to be at least a goal up.

We really need Benzema to improve his finishing here.

I really hope we won't be this wasteful against City.

HT.

I really can't complain about the way we have been playing so far. We're completely controlling the tempo of the game and creating chances to score. We're also a little vulnerable to counters but that's understandable given the way we're set up and the personnel we have at the back (looking at you Marcelo).

All we need right now is for our guys up front to be more clinical with their chances, especially if it's a clear-cut one. Not too much to ask I think.

Relying on Benzema to carry the scoring load consistently is suicide.

Isco is fucking useless. Put someone in there that does something semi-useful.

He did give a goalscoring opportunity on a silver platter to Benzema though, so he's not completely useless.

I dont like Isco but hes defintely doing fine

If anyone is useless its Benzema at the moment

Just spend 300 million on Mbappe. Dont care anymore. All our forwards are useless.

Hazard, one on one for god's sake!

Levante came close to scoring again, but fortunately for us they ended up squandering it.

We really need to score now because if Levante ends up somehow scoring, it would be cruel, really.

Maybe our forwards don't deserve to win tonight for their underwhelming display, but our midfield and even defense deserve to walk away with the three points today.

Let's hope we don't draw this one as well.

This would be a good time to let Jovic in. At least he wouldn't be reluctant to shoot.

We've completely lost our ball possession up front after Hazard was subbed off and now Levante seems the one more likely to score.

We lost. GG. Lost La Liga to the worst Barca in years.

All our forwards should be fired immediately.

...and like I said, they score. 1-0 Levante.

Honestly, it's cruel, but we deserve it. We really deserve it.

I'm so apathetic to this predictable loss. I suppose it's a good thing for the competitiveness of the league, though.

Prime Zidane when we’re leading the league. He doesn’t give a shit about this tournament

Modric and Marcelo just can’t start together anymore...
