This will likely be the story of Madrid's season. Beaten by a well balanced team one game, steamroller a team that just roll over the next.

We should give him a ten year contract and im not even joking.

I really hope United take the Galactico route from now on. Well balanced team > group of superstars.

Bond Timber are on there last year with Plymouth Argyle, time to pounce?

accidental post

Ba and Eto'o were a breath of fresh air compared to Torres let alone Costa.

We stopped spending a lot between 2007 and 2010, we spent on 8 players in that time and 4 off them were epic flops, no wonder we stagnated so bad that it took 4 season's to recover, if it weren't for the Munich miracle it would have took longer infact Jose returning speed up the process aswell and even he needed a season to sort out the ridiculous unbalanced squad we had.

I remember last year people kept saying why didn't we get the midfielders and strikers we needed in, now it's clear why.There was no top class players in our price range in that position avalible last summer, so he waited and now we have Matic, Cesc and Costa instead of Guarin and some second rate forward.

Speaking of Rio, were was his apology to Cole? muppet.

We have our main source goals and creativity sorted this season in Cesc, Hazard and Costa between them. Oscar can just play his natural game now we have those 3. He ia never going to be a 256 key pass a game player, however we need the balance him, Rami and Willian will provide.

He scored a double in the middle of that suspension. The excuses are getting even more funny.

Sorry who said he was an average player? After yesterday im convinced 4 3 3 is the way to go, Matic, Rami and Cesc with Mikel covering, shame we didn't keep MVG really but that might open up some games for Baker.

My main gripe about Carlo is he always seems desperate to keep the stars happy first and foremost, if Keylor Navas doesn't get a chance soon I don't know what to say. IMO Jose and Simeone are the best two managers in the planet by some considerable distance.

Even with Cesc and Costa he is still our best player!!!!

We need to sort the defensive game out, I accept we will be less solid going more attacking but I don't want us going all Brendan Rodgers on it.

Thr tabloids head the headlines ready when we were down and Lukaku scored. Gutted.

So this is what top class strike options look like

The partnership also restricts Matics attacking game which is criminally under rated. We need Cescs creativity, maybe 4 3 3 with Mikel, Cesc and Matic to supplement Cescs defensive weakness.

Cesc and Matic partnership is better on paper than in practice.

Any decent streams for Samsung phones?

No, he doesn't fit the system and in terms of the creativity he offers we have already signed an upgrade.

He would have the same problems under Simeone that he had under Jose.

The under appreciation off Hazard by some people on here is criminal.

Don't even joke about that Although with Torres gone there isn't a single player in our squad worth complaining about, seems to good to be true, i feel like im going cold Turkey

The CL group stage is the best time to take calculated percentage risks, were need to rotate to keep players fresh, after all we only have 5 senior defenders and after that were down to teenagers, so we can't risk any of them burning out.
