Benitez is not doing great. Players don't have the right attitude in the whole game. With Ronaldo, RM is simply playing with 10 players in tough games. He just plays for himself to score his goals and yet he complains about the team. Ronaldo is very selfish in front of the goal and this ruins the chemistry of the BBC.
@SureTeeBoy I'll tell you why. It's because you put him in the throne every time he scores 5 goals in Madrid's 10:0 wins when he basically just finishes of Madrid's brilliance, but when there's no such brilliance behind him, people expect of so called "best player" (god forgive me for this stupiditiy) to step up and decide the game. Nope. I honestly don't remember a single game when him alone won it for Madrid.
@blitz Thank you! Couldn't had agree more. He doesn't influence the game whatsoever. A player than can DRIBBLE past his marker and abuse that bit of space to dribble to and find a pass a few times a game consistently. A player that drops deep and becomes a part of the midfield and goes to work. A player that tracks back and just helps mark if the ball is close to him consistently. But no he's a player that just cherry picks goals and great finishing may i add caus you dont get those numbers on accident but doesn't do enough if not anything when the defence gets real tight and compact. It always seems real madrid is playing with 10 men and the rest is doing extra work for him. all he does is wait for a nice counter attack pass or a pass in the box to tap one in.
@SureTeeBoy Totally agree.. But haters are hard on him because they expect the most out of him. For me, the cause of all this is perez and real madrid for hiring benitez in place of ancelotti. Benitez does a terrible job of firing his players up for ANY game. Most of real madrids goals this season have been from mistakes of opponents, with few coming from their own invention. The better the team the fewer you opportunities. This suggests that the team has very good finishers but is lacking the tactics and, most importantly, the confidence. If you can score 4 goals in a match on a bi-monthly basis, the same player can at least score ONE against any big team. The confidence needed for big games from proper coaching is clearly missing. Ronaldo is the same, the team is the same. Management is obviously missing.
Like I said before, Benitez didn't like the 4 point gap so he rounded it off to 5. Questionable tactic by Benitez when he brought Jese when there was only 5 mins left, maybe he should have been brought in earlier... Typical CR7 performance, 4 worthless goals on Tuesday and today when his team need goals he is no where to be found.
coaches like Benitez (or Van Gaal) should be fired from top clubs. They are 1. Predictable - Benitez 'all to Ronaldo (Vann Gaal - pass out wide and cross) 2. boring. They should prove themselves in coaching juniors or subordinate/parter clubs when teaching basics, not top clubs with acient play like this
Bring in Kovacic or Isco for James (quite terrible today, though, same can be said for pretty much anyone on the field) or Kroos for Casemiro. Otherwise, I can't see how we are going to pose any threat
I think kroos has been extremely ordinary this season, i would start casemiro over him any day of the week. Midfield 4 of james-modric-casemiro-isco and ron-benz upfront for me.
Bale,Modric,Kroos,Navas did not get involved in the midweek game against Malmo and are almost certain to start. James and Benzema got some match fitness against Malmo and are also set to start. Pepe, Nacho and Danilo will also probably start here. Ronaldo getting his confidence up with 4 goals against Malmo will be seeking more goals here and finally Marcelo who was introduced as a sub against Malmo has fully recovered and is ready to start. Therefore expect a starting XI of: Navas,Danilo,Pepe,Nacho,Marcelo,Kroos,Modric,James,Bale,Ronaldo,Benzema. On the bench we will probably have Casilla,Arbeloa,L.Vasquez,Casemiro,Kovacic,Isco and Jese. Cheryshev will likely be left out while Ramos,Varane and Carvajal are still recovering from their respective injuries.
Worth mentioning is that Casemiro and Kovacic have both really shined every time they have been given a spot on the pitch and are giving Benitez a selection headache.
@whiteout_rip_it
1. Benzema and Bale should not have played vs Barcelona because they did not have match fitness, they were just returning from their injuries.
2. Ramos should not have played because he had injured shoulder.
3. Benitez should have started with Navas,Danilo,Varane,Pepe,Marcelo,Casemiro,Kroos,Modric,James,Isco and Ronaldo.
4. Overall we were unlucky aswell because we did not convert any of our chances and we had a few.
5. Overall having important players injured and others not fully fit was a bad coincidence.
6. The overall defending of the team was horrible and thats why Casemiro would have been crucial.
7. With Casemiro,Kroos,Modric,Isco and James in the lineup the overall passing and posession of the team would be much better.
8. Messi,Neymar and Suarez are very very very good players and sometimes that kind of players can influence a game in such a way like this particular.
@Turan If you noticed, all 4 goals came basically via the same path, simple small passes between the lines, outnumber certain areas and then simply finish the job. In the buildup to each goal, easily 2 or more players were "removed" from the situation like that. Worst part is, Barca always plays like that, Benitez couldn't even remotely counter it. I do not disagree with what you said but I see there only one clear reason to why we were humiliated.
@Turan True. I think Benitez must start rotating Kroos and Casemiro. Also, i think Jese must get game time too, we need to keep all players confidence up
Sack the joker called CR7
Delighted to see Real Madrid lose.
rip in peace real mad
yess again CR7 is responsible for the lose bc he doesn't mind whether the lose or not if he score even penalty.and
@Zaid why not

How many times has Cristiano tried over head kick and failed? i have seen it so many times already
Croatian players ruin every big team they go to. GARBAGE players.
@gascoiiigne gascoiiiigne watch what you drink, hhahaha
@gascoiiigne hahaha poor resentful
@gascoiiigne hahaha you just mad cause you get stank ass Modric while Rakitic is stylin on your ass at barcelona. have a sad cum bb
@gascoiiigne You clearly hold a hateful grudge against them.
@gascoiiigne and this is a GARBAGE comment.
Rafa Benitez's reputation as a tactician was always misplaced
Some peeps blaming Real Madrid's woes tonight on Ronaldo like he was the whole 11 players on the field.
@SureTeeBoy I'll tell you why. It's because you put him in the throne every time he scores 5 goals in Madrid's 10:0 wins when he basically just finishes of Madrid's brilliance, but when there's no such brilliance behind him, people expect of so called "best player" (god forgive me for this stupiditiy) to step up and decide the game.

It's awful from Madrid. Cristiano, it isn't like to score against Malmo, is it?
@shamilprog LOL!!
Like I said before, Benitez didn't like the 4 point gap so he rounded it off to 5. Questionable tactic by Benitez when he brought Jese when there was only 5 mins left, maybe he should have been brought in earlier...

Mediocre players in terrible form and fools here wanna target rafa. Legit
@John_Wick didnt u say benitez and perez out?
Leagues are lost in places like this.
Cant entirely blame rafa. Players are really awful. Ronaldo is done. Replace him soon. We dont play malmo every game. Bale is equally uselesd
coaches like Benitez (or Van Gaal) should be fired from top clubs. They are 1. Predictable - Benitez 'all to Ronaldo (Vann Gaal - pass out wide and cross) 2. boring. They should prove themselves in coaching juniors or subordinate/parter clubs when teaching basics, not top clubs with acient play like this
Sergio Ramos was awful today. Real Madrid has to realize that football has 2 halfs. I don't think Real Madrid can win a trophy this season.
The yellow submarine cost Madrid the copa and now the the league :) :)
Bailly is some next level imbecil or what
@Exti Double homicide, better make space for Soldado also in the morgue.
@Exti Don't be childish.
undiano mallenco is man of the match so far.
Madrid might fool Ray Hudson but my scouter still reads a low power level
Jesus, Benz, go blackmail Valbuena or something..
@Exti No, really Benz, go blackmail Valbuena.
Kross change Casemiro and Isco change Bale. Then game will be different.
@kambodjaneca what about Modric?
Real Madrid playing like an average team. Villarreal should have scored at least 3 goals.
Its a shame we r starting players in crappy form rathet than isco
Ha ha ha ha that is why penaldo is always a penaldo she can only score against the lower team. Villarreal will win by 1-0.
Bemitez n perez out
Bring in Kovacic or Isco for James (quite terrible today, though, same can be said for pretty much anyone on the field) or Kroos for Casemiro. Otherwise, I can't see how we are going to pose any threat
@Exti isfo n kroos in, bth offensive role can pose a threat
Watching first 25 min ... I can't quite get, what is the use of a coach like Benitez. No plan to attack the opponent at all.
I think kroos has been extremely ordinary this season, i would start casemiro over him any day of the week. Midfield 4 of james-modric-casemiro-isco and ron-benz upfront for me.
draw match
I would prefer isco over kroos in midfield, but i except real win
Real Madrid v Arsenal, Round of 16.
Isco should start
@pulverizer Because Perez. Anyone with eyes can see that both James and Isco are better footballers than Bale
I prefer to play today in this selection Navas. Marcelo Ramos Pepe Danilo Kasmero Modrch Cristiano Bill James Benzema
@aboo.mrad Bill who? Clinton?
@aboo.mrad Why cant you see bell is crap?
@aboo.mrad Great spelling, Bill is an amazing player aswell!
Isco should start, sacrifice any other player you want. He and James when they play together, we are unstoppable.
@Tyrion_Lannister Sacrifice who? Bale? Benzema? Wishful thinking i'm afraid
@Peter_Griffin Bale.
we need to keep a clean sheet if we desire to win undecima
Bale,Modric,Kroos,Navas did not get involved in the midweek game against Malmo and are almost certain to start. James and Benzema got some match fitness against Malmo and are also set to start. Pepe, Nacho and Danilo will also probably start here.

@Turan Why we failed so badly vs barcelona?
@whiteout_rip_it 1. Benzema and Bale should not have played vs Barcelona because they did not have match fitness, they were just returning from their injuries. 2.

@Turan That was such a bad memory, i couldnt even remember it.
@pulverizer Good or Bad its part of Real Madrid's history
@Turan True. I think Benitez must start rotating Kroos and Casemiro. Also, i think Jese must get game time too, we need to keep all players confidence up
Benitiez does not like a mere 4 point gap with Barca, he will increase it to 7 this match.
@Beastador Luis Enrique feels the same way about the lead.
@Beastador Thats logical.
@Beastador go check your Barca game. seems you are the one who likes dropping points
Tough game. 1-2. Hala Madrid
