Cant wait to see that. I fucking hate that club with every ounce of breath. Arrogant cunts got brought back down to earth that day along with the Rats Sureaz and knobhead phil.

Most of the time, I'd say he's being disrespectful to the ones that matter- the supporters of the club. 

 

Fuck that bunch though. Arrogant, entitled wankers.

Wonder if he will get booed for that. They booed Ronaldo for not scoring about 75 goals by November.

He’d have to get on the pitch to get booed...

They boo him anyway. They think he's shite.

Ironically he's one of their better players when he actually plays. Or maybes I just tuned into the wrong games. It would seem all he has to do is miss a chance for them to get on his back. If it wasn't for the money and no other club being prepared to pick up his wages he'd be long gone. He must have the skin of a Rhino otherwise.

It's many things.

 

He isn't Ronaldo, his Spanish is shit, he's always injured, and their fans are generally cunts.

 

As you say, when he's fit to play he does well. 

 

He doesn't track back a lot, he doesn't press very much either. But then none of their forwards do. This, added to their pedestrian midfield, makes them vulnerable. 

 

They currently have - Bale, Hazard, Benzema, Jovic, Vinicius, Vasquez, Asensio, Mariano, Rodriguez, Isco, and Rodrygo that could play in the front three. Some are injured obviously, but the fact is that isn't where their problem lies. They've got four centre midfielders at the club, and three of them are slow as fuck. 

 

My girlfriend's father is a Real Madrid fan. His criticism of them is very simple. They don't run, they're not arsed. That's the problem with being a club like them. Run a circus and then be surprised everyone isn't taking everything seriously.

Cheers, gives a bigger overall problem to their club. I used to watch shit loads of football, Spanish league included, but these days I tend to stick mainly to the PL and Bundesliga and watch the odd match from other leagues. Real are suffering because other clubs have improved and their turn up and win arrogance just doesn't work on quite a few teams now. Same could be said for Barcelona. They can spend as much as they like on players but they can only put 11 on the park. Of course as the season goes on they have a better depth for covering fatigue and injury, but they aren't running away with things before hand which always seemed to be the case.

Yes, likewise I don't watch as much football now. I watch a reasonable amount of La Liga, as I did previously actually. Our games, and the odd other big Premier League game.

 

I think smaller clubs in Spain are seeing that Real Madrid and Barcelona are considerably more beatable now than a few years ago. When Barcelona had Xavi and Iniesta you just couldn't get the ball of them. They have a great a set of forwards but it hasn't worked collectively yet. Suarez is frequently injured, Dembele looked completely separate to the rest of the team, Griezmann is often stuck playing left wing. Real are just fucking slow. They get hounded by sides that nick the ball and counter on them.

 

Ten points from 1st to 15th in La Liga. Only Athletic Bilbao and Atletico Madrid look arsed about defending. Making for an interesting season.

Even closer in the Bundesliga, as Bayern are going through something similar to the Spanish Giants, and to some extent you could say the same about Dortmund and maybes Leipzig. 

If Atletico Madrid had won their so called easy games instead of drawing over half of them they'd be running away with la Liga.

They're trying to shoehorn a 19 year old number 10 in to the side, it isn't working. 

 

I get the feeling Simeone had absolutely nothing to do with his signing.

Is Simeone getting bored. Looking for a new challenge?

I believe he's made noises about awakening a sleeping giant in Liverpool.

I doubt he'd go to Tranmere mate, but who knows. 

[Lee909]

4 mins in and Paderborn break from a Dortmund corner 0-1. Great goal

[Lee909]

Bringing Hummells back for 30ml for a massive mistake. He's done at the highest level and looked it at Dortmund, they had them over the coals on that one. Reckon Jurgen Kholer would have him in a footrace and he's 54

[3 Stacks]

It's a bad decision to sign just about anyone close to 30 for a big fee nowadays. Not sure how clubs still haven't figured that out.

Depends on the player imo. 

Everyone could see the drop off in Hummmels and Boateng at Dortmund. But others still look great and have 3-5 years left. Depends on if you are arsed about a sell on. 

 

Still remember the shock at Batistuta going for 35ml in 2000 at 31. Roma only got 18-24 months out of him but I doubt they cared with league win

 

 

 

 

[dockers_strike]

My word, what are Dortmund doing? 2-0 down at home to Paderborn, bottom club in the Bundesliga.

[Lee909]

Fuck me the Dortmund back 4 is slow as fuck

 

Mamba 2-0 long ball. Weigel and Hummells pushed up too high
