Sporting Gijon Vs Real Madrid | Live Match Comments
Saturday, 24 October 09, 05:33 AM · Comments (398)
La Liga action is back and so is Guti. He is a very interesting player; Surprising, talented, and sometimes idiot. He surprises you with killer passes and shocks you with stupid tackles, and don't get me started on his role in fashion.....
Guti's comeback from injury marks Real Madrid's seventh game in the league. Our sixth was against Valladolid and we won it thanks to two goals from the captain and a fantastic goal from Higuain. Unfortunately though, we couldn't duplicate the same performance against Milan and lost 2-3.
For those who are thinking Gijon is a good game to earn some points and confidence, think again. They are seventh in the table with 11 points, and have a two-match winning streak going and haven't lost at home. They are not as strong as Barcelona, but they will not be an easy ride nevertheless.
We have seen eachother on 76 occasions, of which we have won 42 and they have won 12. We have been drawn 22 times. At their stadium, Los Blancos have won 16 matches, drawn 12 and lost 10. The last game I remember was a 0-4 victory for Real Madrid with two goals from Raul, one from Huntelaar and one from Marcelo.
Statistically speaking, beating Gijon shouldn't be difficult and it shouldn't really If we play again as a team and recover our spirit back. I'm talking about our spirit, because I felt we didn't have it against Milan and for that reason we really didn't try hard to come back.
Pellegrini has a few problems upfront. Benzema, Van Nistelrooy, Higuain and Ronaldo are all injured which leaves us with two pure strikers in Raul and youth player Acuna. However, we have some flexible players in Kaka and Van der vaart who can both play as strikers.
My guess is Pellegrini will either start with Raul and Kaka upfront, or with just Raul as the main striker. It depends on how he wants to approach the game. Personally speaking, I would prefer a lineup with a strong midfield because we need to control the tempo of the game.
We have got the guys: Diarra, Alonso, Kaka and Guti. We also have Van der vaart and Granero. I'm saying this because we have proved we can score a lot of goals this season and that's why we are the European top goal scorers. However, we have proved also that we can't dictate how the game goes. We need to do that.
Here is what Alonso thinks about it:
We need to dictate the tempo and control the match at all times. But we must also know how to read matches; know how to tighten up when pressured. Protecting ourselves doesn't mean playing like a small team. But Madrid usually needs to control the pace of the match.
We can get away with scoring more goals than our opponent, which is mainly possible against small teams with weak midfield, but against teams like Sevilla and Milan, you need to prevent them from playing their game and instead you play yours. We are running out of time so Pellegrini has to work on this one and our organization and communication problems at the back.
I think we might see Ramos, Pepe, Metzelder and Drenthe at the back with a midfield consisting of Alonso, Diarra, Granero, Guti and Kaka with Raul as a lone striker in attack.
Diarra and Alonso would partner up in center midfield, and I hope Xabi will regain his form, because as he proved against Valladolid, he can make these clever passes (see Higuain's goal in that game).
Granero and Guti should alternate with eachother with the Pirate attacking along the wing. Kaka sits behind Raul serving as a second striker as he has played in that position at Milan before, and his acceleration and shooting ability will help him score.
This is of course my lineup, but Pellegrini will always do his own thing. There is pressure. He is not affected by it, which is good.
He says:
I know the kind of pressure I'm subjected to and it neither affects nor worries me.
I haven't received special support and I wasn't warned by the Club either. My relationship with the entity has not changed one bit. I know criticism comes with the job. I try to ignore what's negative and keep what's positive. That's my way of thinking.
But, trying to ignore the negative, is kind of, negative, right? I mean, with this way of thinking he will not acknowledge that we have serious problems with our defense, because that's a negative thing. I think he is contradicting himself here, but let's see how he will turn this around tonight.
I know many of you are down in the dumps, but there is no way except getting behind the team. Many of you are calling for Pellegrini's head, some of you even want new players, and you are all contradicting yourselves.
You let the emotions speak, use your mind this time.
Hala Madrid!

Oh wow so Guti is really homosexual.
If we make it to the quarter finals in the champions league(which will mean we improved alot). We will get the CL this season, otherwise we still got a long road ahead of us.
not just us , but most of big teams are facing problems in cl . inter has not won in 8 games. barca lost to rubin, liverpool lost 2 games, even milan lost at home .. so nothing to worry.. With players back from injury, we need to see how the team perform and I think we will demolish then..
first thing is first, lets qualify for the next round of cl as group leaders , so we don't have to play the second leg away from home.. by that time, feb, our team would have gelled better than now..
Today, is reaction day.. I am sure we will win.
Well I think Pellegrini is trying to distinguish constructive criticisim. I still think we need more width, but only transfers can solve that.
Whoever thinks we need to sack Pellegrini is clearly an idiot. He's lost two games, lets be fair, that's alright. Most sensible people won't argue with it. The problem is, most of the wins have been because of individual talent, no team-play. We came up against two good teams and lost. You can make excuses like the absence of Ronaldo and Casillas making one of the only mistakes in his entire career but that's unfair. The team needs develop a style and that's only possible if we bring some consistency in our management. Pellegrini's not called The Engineer for nothing. We could do with a winger or two and a good left-back though.
Reply to TheAngelOfMadrid:
I don't want Real Madrid to sack Pelle,yes he lost only two games but put in mind that those two games were our toughest and most important test so far and the harder is yet to come
I hate to say this but WE REALLY MISSED Cristina against Milan

who agrees with me that we miss Robben?

I miss The Flying Dutchman so bad
Perez and Valdnao don't know what they let go of.
Reply to MadridistAli:
It's official, we suck. The only players trying are Granero and Diarra.
Reply to TheAngelOfMadrid:
Drenthe is trying hard as well
Reply to Adambader:
Yeah. I'm shocked at Kaka and Alonso though, their passing has been quite terrible.
What did i say Raul is dropping back into a CAM role pushing up Kaka which takes away from his best assets attacking players and making the final pass. I know Raul loves to help but we already have a 3 players in the mid we don’t need him making it more of a cluster in there. If he stays up and pushes the CBs back there will be more space for Kaka. Please Pelle tell Raul to stay UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I dont agree with u guys.. i think alonso is passing well.. dunno which match r u watching... kaka is doing his job.. i think he is playing as SS now which needs more running/dribbling and shots.. which i think he has done till now..
Reply to Madridista44:
I'm also really happy with Garay, impressive stuff from him. We should try him and Momo Diarra out as left-backs.

Reply to Shre7:
the first 0:0 since capello!!
I was wrong, we should have kept either sneijder or robben!! what a joke! kaka was so poor, the only one fighting was once again raul..
Wow, we just drew with Sporting Gijon, bravo. I never thought i'd say this, but we NEED Ronaldo.
A team we thrashed with a total of 11 goals last season almost beats us this season.
We're nothing without cristiano..
F*** Pellegrini
He has no idea how to coach this team. BYE
All i want to say that we need to give Van Der Vaart more playing time,when he came off the bench our game grew faster but it was too late,i don't think you know this but Van Der Vaart in his top form is our best free kick taker (even better than CR9) we should start taking benefits from free kicks.
,i don't know whats wrong with our team,seriously what will we do against Fashalona,Valencia,Athletico and the others 
Bad result as usual
The only one thing i'm happy about is how I was so right about us needing Robben. Sneijder, not so much but we're an absolute wreck with this bloody 4-2-2-2. Absolutely bullshit formation is what it is. I mean WTF is with Kaka playing on the left-wing, that makes no sense. I miss you Robben, please come back
I have absolutely no idea how raul played the whole game was it becuz he is the captain we have a better captain in casillas. How is it that all our fowards get hurt but the only one who is fit is the foward who thinks he is a midfielder. No wonder he isn't called up to spain he has absolutely no use for them.
Reply to TheAngelOfMadrid:
C'mon guys,yes we needed Cristina against Milan but Gijon? c'mooooooooooon one player won't make such a difference against low-class team like Gijon,(no offense) i bet Fashalona can beat them with their reserves,we should not count in one player especially against small teams
Y U C K !!!!!!!!!
Reply to TheAngelOfMadrid:
and you too Robinho
Reply to MadridistAli:
Do you see us playing well at all? At this moment, I would love to have a fit Ronaldo in the team. If we keep this up, we might just be in for another 6-2 at El Clasico.
Reply to alex:
Correction: Raul played well tonight,he scored a 100% goal but the refree disallowed it why? i don't know,though he wasted a couple of good passes from Guti
Reply to MadridistAli:
I'll tell U what's wrong with our team- it's the coach & the medical staff! Pelle for being tactically illiterate & the medical ppl for the insane no. of injuries. Also 2 idiots known as Perez & Valdano for selling off our best players from last season!
Reply to MadridistAli:
For ur info, it was a hand-ball by Kaka!
AS is reporting that Perez could buy Steven Gerrard.
WOW! Sneijder scored an awesome goal against Catania
Reply to MadridistAli:
we should def give more chances to vdv but not just because of his set pieces!! if a team needs to depend on set pieces, don't even dream about to win the CL!!
Reply to DynastyofRealMadrid:
all we are lacking is a specific playing style and aggressiveness!!
Reply to DynastyofRealMadrid:
don't get me wrong,its just a good thing on VDV,besides his playmaking skills
Reply to MadridistAli:
no doubt that VDV is a reliable piece taker, but his set pieces wouldn't be considered to be "BETTER" than CR9 in both power and accuracy. u are just too biased. actually i don't see any prominent evidence implies who is "better" bw them. it's really hard to judge but one thing is certain--- ur prejudice always affects ur judgement.
Reply to MadridistAli:
Correction if u think Raul played well tonight then ur definition of playing well is severely disillusioned. He was supposed to be out top striker and instead he wanted to be our playmaker. In the second half how many touches did he have 10 at the most. Just bcuz he is clapping his hands at missed passes that come his way does not mean he is showing more heart. And if you are relying on 1 play where he did indeed score a valid goal to summarize his entire performance then he obviously had no other plays worth mentioning to say he did play well.
Will some1 close to mr pelle shout in his fckn ears that the damn 4-2-2-2 is bloody nt workin maybe he'll hear that supposin hes blind not to see it on the pitch..why cant we jus play the tradition 4-2-3-1, is nt like we dnt have the players to do it...n why on earth ws Kaka playin as a striker, he shud be in the middle in front of the two holding midfielders controllin and directing play...seriosuly i dnt blame the players for whats hapenin on the pitch..some ppl are sayin y ws Raul comin to the midfield..well ds what u get with the bloody 4-2-2-2..it leaves the midfield bare with no access to the forwards..for this formation to wrk u need true wingers or players who can hold onto the ball at the wings n bring others into play but we dnt have that in drenthe n granero who played there 2day..the reason why we ddnt see these flaws earlier ws cuz c.Ronaldo masked them with his ability to hold n run with the ball, that allowed the others time to run n support in the attack..but w/out him n Kaka being used as a striker for who knows y it ws so obvious we will struggle to break them down..yes we are shot in forwrds but we shud still have enuf to put a team like that in their place..a 4-2-3-1 with kaka in the middle of the 3 n drenthe n granero on the wings n raul as lone striker the game wud have been easier than they made it for themselves but again whose to blame but the bloody coach..

I don't care what you guys think of this game.
Pellegrini should go back to Villereal now!
I think we'd be better off as Raul being coach; hell he is already doing the tactical work with himself...Going to the midfield and leaving Kaka upfront.
I swear I'm gonna convert to barcelona fan with this bullshit

Im sorry to say this but this is jus like dejavu!We'll keep drawing or winning low grade teams and lose when it really counts like what we did last season! Lost to liverpool in the rounds of 16 after coming off a home and away loss to juve in the groupstage then going on to get demolished by barca in the bernabeu! We've already loss to juve in thepreseason lost to sevilla in laliga and lost to acmilan in cl! Cant u guys see the pattern! As long as peel doesnt get the team playing as one this prediction we'll def. come true mark my words!!!!!!!!!! I'll be a madrista for life but comon atleats lets play wit some haert out there!!!!It's startin to get embarrisin seriously!!!
Reply to Ryan McManus:
Wow mr anus ... You thought i was serious?
Wake the fuck up we tied a game with sporting Gijon I'm allowed to be pissed
another three player injured!!!pepe, garay and alonso..honstly this situation remindes me of last year when real had so many injuries and shuster got sacked just before the EL clasico and something tells me that history might repeat itself...
no ronaldo no win...the system isnt working pelle should change the style before things get worse and we were so negative in the first half the team line up was a damn defensive lineup i would have played only 1 holding midfielder and 2 upfront kaka raul cudnt even get into the game till the second half! damn damn damn what is going on! pelle sort it out MAN!
robben scored with bayern. Sneijder also with Inter. And we havent managed to do shit. Everybody is making fun of us as a team. I still support real because its been my team since a litle kid, but this is getting unbearable. I dont mind losing as long as we play good. I want a team that can dominate in the field.
I am a fan of chelsea in the premier. We lost last week from aston villa because of 2 mistakes on set pieces. still we dominated in the middle of the park and we had some good chances. This is what I want from real too. They have the players they just dont have a coach who knows what to do with them and to instill in them the passion of a great team.
Reply to MadridistAli:
I do - Robben could win a game all by himself - very good news for Bayern, bad for Real
It doesn't matter which team you support you have to face losing.
As I frequently try to tell some of you this project the club is undergoing is almost impossible to pull off. Having expensive players does not help you build a team, actually it make team play harder because they all have to prove themselves as individuals first.
I think this is something only Capello _really_ excelled in being able to do.
Will will have our victories this season (hopefully some significant ones), but if you think we're going to win everything then I'm afraid you're probably going to be disappointed.
Reply to Michael:
cristiano ronaldo is much better than robben and is able to beat that crap out of robben, the plastic man who missed all the important games. ronaldo is the one who can win a game by himself not the selfish injury prone.
Reply to realfreak:
That same selfish man was your leading assist-man last season with 14 assists so shut it. He dribbles just as good as Ronaldo and has fewer injuries than he used to. He came back in 2 weeks when he was supposed to be out for 3 months. That tells you a lot about his character. At this time, I think you should love to have another winger in your squad, even better if you have THE best winger in your squad. (I'm not counting Messi and Ronaldo as wingers BTW)
Reply to TheAngelOfMadrid:
where the hell did u get the 14 assists stats thats pure bullshit the guy assisted most is gago last season
dun try to exaggerate the facts robben was supposed to out for 4 weeks and he just returns earlier a bit i only remember he miss all the important game last season 
he might only be as good as ronaldo on dribble but ronaldo is mcuh better on shooting with 2 feet and faster and stronger 
Reply to fofos:
robben and sneijder are good but ronaldo and kaka are even better
could we win all games with robben and sneijder lastyr? 
stop boosting crap up with only few bad matches
Reply to realfreak:
let's just simply admit that selling robben is a very bad mistake. i agree that CR9 is an overall better player but what's the problem with having both of them on the squad?? this is absurd to compare them. we could have both on them on the squad and form a deadly force on both wings.
I was too optimistic about pelle's tactic due to his succesful buildup with villareal. now we just rely too much on Ramos and Marcel to attack the wing. our attack were build up with no fluency and slow cuz we ain't got no one on the wings to get the ball when CR9 is missing. at least robben could have stepped for us if he was not sold. kaka and xabi struggle in the middle cuz they ain't got no one to pass to off the wings and they always have to hold until ramos and marcelo run up to receive their pass. that's the main reasons that our attacks were stuck in the middle all the time. granero is just connecter and he can't be a penetrater. if we keep playing like this, no way we can reach far. a winger can simply open on the space for us while our opponent close down the space in the middle. we are lacking the blade to cut off for us. it will be pathetically stupid if we need to chase for wingers in this january again. even though robben is sold for the possible ribery deal, there is no point ot weaken up our squad while perez dedicates on building up a dream all the time. right now we can jus pray for the health of ronaldo and kaka for hte rest of the season.
Reply to DynastyofRealMadrid:
even though robben might not pass as good as silva or ribery, he is the type of player we need for the last several game we messed up with. for me, robben is a forward rather than a midfielder and i believe he could have form a deveatating frontline aling with CR9 and Higuain. kaka and xabi would have enough targets to rely on attacks.
Reply to realfreak:
I meant 3 weeks, sorry. My bad. And btw, I just checked, Gago was not our highest assist-man. I remember this huge article on Robben and his assists/lowest turnover rate. Try looking it up, you might find it. He has 11 assists, I was just a bit off but still a lot of assists. As far as I remember, the only BIG games he missed were the first El Clasico and one game against Juventus. He played against Juventus, Barcelona, Liverpool, Valencia, Villareal etc. Ronaldo is a better all around player but Robben is just as good, maybe better at beating his man and has a mean left-foot. He's also one of the only genuine World-Class wingers in the game nowadays. He was a huge asset and we treated him badly. We need him more than you think.
real madrid are getting to many injuries now and thay dont have good replacements becous they had to sell alot of players in the summer i blame the dumb person who made this rule up of having 25 players in the squad! !!!
we have so much bad luck...what is wrong with the team they get injurd so easily i know everybody gets injuries but we have the most injury crises! out of all the team
I don't get why you guys are debating Robben; he's not in madrid anymore can we move on?
You guys need to understand that the Holland players that left were the ones who wanted to play in the world cup; which means they wanted to be starters in their first club teams to get a chance to.
That is the only reason they left; they didn't get sold. They wanted to leave. Stop believing the media so much.
Now lets focus on this team; we don't need Robben, we need a new tactic.
ADAM....I must complain. I am the original realfreak. Someone else here is posting with my name. WTF is going on? Deal with this immediately.
Thank You.

Reply to trophy:
I know we have great players I am not doubting that. I was just pointing out the irony. Nevertheless I dont believe its the players fault...nor I thought last year was the players fault.
For me real has always had great players. But the problem is that we dont dominate the game. We dont control the tempo. And that is down to tactics.
We need to use our midfield....we have lass alonso and kaka. Pellegrini needs to have the players train in passing through smalla spaces and try to play more through the middle of the park.
We keep coming from the weeks and we are not succesful....unless ronaldo plays ofcourse...and bc of this wide kind of play we are easily exposed on the back.
Reply to EvoLtc:
well I support both of them. Thankfully they havent gone against each other yet. But still I am just taking examples of of how real could get better.
Perez get's what he deserves. That's all I got to say. New president, new coach, new players. Sure we will all fix it. Destroying careers that's what we're the best at. That and attracting Asian fans. Great product Real Madrid. Too bad we still have to play football.
Reply to fofos:
exactly mate, i totally agree. we have kaka, alonso and lass and we just don't get the best out of them. sergio and marcelo are being relied too much on attack and left more space and more pressure at the back. this is ridiculuous to look at our midfield screwed up like this with these great players. we are so far away from playing beautiful football, sth pelle dedicated on building the team with, cuz we can't even finish some simple attacks fluently.
Reply to DynastyofRealMadrid:
pelle should change hes system maybe the player we have arnt good in hes system...play 2 wingers then we might not leave spaces at the back cuz marcelo and ramos has to join the attack most of the time
I hope they take up on Roberto Carlos offer.
Wouldn't mind having an alternative to marcelo and drenthe.
Reply to W335Y09:
yeah man, like most pple here, i still insist on the ideal 4-5-1/4-3-3 formation with 2 guys who can play off the wings. we are just lacking of this type of players with CR9 injuried.
Reply to DynastyofRealMadrid:
i first i thought benze is capable on doing it. but he just disappointed everyone. he struggled on running properly. he couldn't suitably use his strength, speed, and skill.
Let the haters laugh now, we will have the last laugh
I like the idea of the 4-3-3 but who would be out wide? Cr9+ Benz/Higuain and as striker Benz/Higuain/Raul.
Midfield prob Kaka Lass Xabi.
We need to improve
just give Pelligrini patience.
Reply to DynastyofRealMadrid:
Well I think Marcelo should be CR9's sub.
I still can't figure out why he's defending....
A couple of years from now he'll turn into a top class winger and we'll laugh at the times he use to defend.
Reply to Madridista09:
since we've only got CR9 left right now, we only can reply on 1 guy to play out wide and with 2 strikers for the scoring reponsibility. so unfortunately, i always think if we could have R9 and Robben as the wing+higuain or raul, we could have a fantastic 4-3-3 !!
Reply to Madrid4Life:
he could be the temporary sub of CR9 since our wings are broken again, drenthe could be a good choice too but i also prefer the dutch as a LB.
i personally think the only formation that possibly fits marcelo most is 3-4-3/3-5-2, his attack style is a very typical wingbacks attack style. he can dribble and run fabulously but is somewhat one dimensional. the reason i said so is because he is not used to hold down the ball like CR9, Ribery, Robben, and Robinho do, we can be a helper running along the flanks but hardly can become hte "main dish" . he gotta chance the way he attacks if he wants to transform to be a LWF at a 4-3-3. otherwise, he would just a be a decent wing at a 4-4-2

HALA MADRID!!!!!!!!!
the situation in real madrid has been no different from what is being discussed here. Infact we have all been a witness to such madness that has surrounded the bernabeu ever since the dawn of the new millenium. How many coaches have come and gone by? The league is still 8 games old! there are still 30 games left. We are not in a state as bad as we were this time last year. Barcelona leads us by only 3 points. Instead of being contented that we are encountering losses now which would give the coach a better insight of the players adaptability and ability in unfamiliar positions, we are calling for the coaches head. And once the other guy encounters a few losses, then call for his head too! come one... this club cannot be run as per our whims and fancies. Pellegrini did not bring success instantly to Villareal. Had their fans been as impatient as we are, Villareal would not have seen the kind of success that they saw post the first year. Its alright to feel disappointed when the team loses to teams like Sporting, but then its still a long way before the alarm bells ring. Let us hope the team doesn't drop points when it matters the most. The regime has embarked on a journey to make our dreams possible. Time for us to continue supporting them in this endeavor. 8 games do not decide the title winners. Hala Madrid.
can someone tell me adam's e-mail address for this site? I need to know who has hijacked my "realfreak" name and posting as me. I need him to put a stop to it/find out who it is.
Thanks.
Why do people want to play 4-3-3? The team that brought this formation to the forefront was AJAX, they introduced it in the early 1970's. Holland reached 2 World Cup finals with it. In Spain at the heart of it was Cruyff's innovative formation. He introduced it 18 years ago at Barca. Are we copycats now?
Reply to DynastyofRealMadrid:
Sorry but I kind of disagree. We can play a more narrow system with no wingers that would suit our team players perfecty. We just need to learn how to pass in small spaces. And having kaka and alonso in midfield that would be easy.
We should play with two in front, ronaldo benzema with higuain as a subtitute...with both drifting wide to get the ball and kaka right behind them in the whole and granero next to him.
Alonso should be played as a deep lying playmaker and have lass just behind our front line to defend.
If we keep lass just for defending then the two full backs ramos and marcelo can go on the attack but we wont be exposed because lass will be covering them.
We have one of the best 4 attacking right backs in the world (my personal fav) ramos...so we need to expoit his attacking qualities. And also those of marcelo.
But the central defenders need to stay deep and they need to work on their positioning. But I insist if lass is played properly nobody we would find the balance between attack and defence.
I really believe a narrow diamond would suit our team best
Reply to Madridista09:
I hope so,but right now we are losing VERY easy points that will matter at the end of the season
Reply to fofos:
i understand what u are saying, u just said what i'd been thinking until the recent deeas. espoiting the fullbacks attack quality might work but the key to acheieve this is the "timing" of recovering. and i personally think both Pepe and Albiol have no problem on positioning. the key is communication with the fullbacks and lass, the one who needs to drop back recovering with alonso staying in the midfield as the jam. maybe this "narrow diamond" just needs more time to be developed. but it seems kinda insecure cuz this formation overly rely on CR9.
Reply to realfreak:
no one is faster than Robben
Reply to realfreak:
i bet he's los_galacticos (looking at the way he's speaking about Cristina)
Reply to Denzel:
it doesn't matter whether or not we should copy, it only matters whether or not we can come up with the right formation that suits us the best. we can't play 4-3-3 ONLY because barca had done so??? the same 4-3-3 could have various style with different football style based on the teams.
HAHAH Juande ramos has just been sacked from CSSKA. I remember some ppl in here kept defeding him as a a good coach. He is crap apparently
LINK
Reply to fofos:
Actually he is better than Pellegrini,people say that Pelle went with Villareal to the top,yeah he did but not like the way Juande did to Sevilla they won three or two consecutive Europa League titles,plus he did a good job with us last time apart from the 6-2,4-0 and 3-0 defeats
I didn´t see the game, so I won´t comment on individual performances. Suffice to say, that if we couldn´t beat Gijon, then we must have been shamefully bad.
The first thing that Madrid need to do is to remind Pellegrini that this is the chance of a lifetime and he is throwing it away. He needs to be reminded that he is not going to achieve anything by being nice to people.
Talking about sacking Pellegrini is simply stupid. Maybe we have already forgoten how hard it was to get ANY coach to sign for us in the summer?
The reason for that is that Madrid have a habit of stabbing the coach in the back mid season.
This is something that has to stop. Pellegrini was judged to be a suitable coach. The time to judge him has passed. Now is the time to support him.
This doesn´t mean we stop judging the team´s performance. On the contrary, we need to set standards so that performances can start to improve.
The players need to be reminded that they do not run the club. That they are playing for the coach, not the other way round. They need to demonstrate a sense of pride and desire to win.
Sounds very basic. But at the moment the players are the ones who feel they have all the power, and the coach is the one who always feels he is 2 defeats away from the sack.
Real Madrid has the most difficult and unprofessional dressing room in the world. Until the coach is given full reign to sort it out, we will never go back to winning ways.
Support Pellegrini. Give him the authority to increase the number of training sessions if he wants. Let him kick a few backsides. The club does not belong to the players. Let them earn the respect we so willingly lavish on them.

Reply to DynastyofRealMadrid:
i think raul is the problem in the system bcause if hes playing upfront he comes back deep to get the ball when against gijon kaka shouldv been doing that...raul doesnt pass to benzema he doesnt want benzema to take hes place thats why i think higuain should be tryd with benzema upfront with ronaldo outwide like 3 upfront ronaldo on the rite and left with eather higuain or benzema on the other side and 1 in the middle they can keep swaping...higuain can play out wide aswell
Reply to Caracoleo:
pellegrini should be the mad who picks the lineup nobody else! when we get this "higher people" making choices and that...jus pelle do hes job! who is a 32 year old in the line up? is there any other team (top) would have raul staring this many games? u have to get rid of guti and raul and start a new ERA thats what perez promisd! but i still see people like raul and guti have a say in alot of things! make cassillias the propa captain
Reply to MadridistAli:
well whoever it is, what they're doing is wrong and needs to be dealt with.....and Adam should be correcting this and up to now he has not replied stating that he will do just that and it's very upsetting.
Why am I being the one taken advantage of? What? cause I'm a girl?
Acun to start tomorrow
Reply to Caracoleo:
Indeed.
Can't wait to see Rudd play 2marrow, $10 Raul starts and plays the whole game 2marrow and starts and plays the whole game on saturday.
Reply to Caracoleo:
Totally agree, that's why Capello was so damn good.
Great news guys, the number of injuries has been shortened to 3 with Pepe and Higuain already pretty much fit so there's basically only Ronaldo left. Ronaldo is expected to be fit for the Milan game. That means, if we suffer no injuries against Alcoron and Getafe, we will have 24 players to choose from for the Milan game.
I'm kinda worried about the Getafe game since they tend to really put our defence to the test. Higauin HAS to start in that game or I will explode. Benzema and Raul have had way too many chances and failed with them. Higuain is someone who we know will click so why not play him? Ruud is back too now which is great news.
Reply to Caracoleo:
I think that pelle should stay for atleast 2-3 seasons for him to have any real effect......!!!
anyways if for any reason we sack pelle...!!
I think the only obvious choice of coach is the captain himself...>!!!
Think about this he anyways starts all the matches irrespective of his form....!!
If news reports are to be believed he owns the dressing room and the madrid hierarchy...!!!
as adam says people in madrid still count him as a legend...!!
and newspaper hardly ever critise him...!!
so instead of kicking him out, we should make him our coach if pelle is sacked..!!
then imagine what would happen.......!!
we would play shit all most all the time..!!
we would loose 4 matches in a row and still the press/fans woundt ask for raul's head....!!!
even sitting mid table woundt be a crisis for us anymore...!!
raul would score a brace against malaga, xerez and against teneride and entire madrid would go ga-ga...!!!!
Gee i guess even i am now tired of sarcasm's and barbed remarks...!!!!
Adam, i remember for the past six yrs we rarely won against a big european team other than BARCA. this shows inconsistency on our team that we are not capable of beating big team from ITALY, ENGLAND AND EVEN GERMANY. we have been beaten by team like lyon arsenal, as roma, ac milan, juve, livepool, monaco and the list continues. this shows that we can not react on big challenges. it make feel realy sad, hopE we can improve. HALLA MADRID!!!
When Bernd Schuster was in charge in the first season, there were no complaints except that we did not do well in the CL. Then last season as Barca started to decimate every opponent week-in week-out, although madrid were winning yet there was unrest amongst the fans that we were not winning like barca. Barca does a treble so we gotto do a treble. One loss, calls for sacking the coach start doing the rounds. If the coach decides to employ his tactics which could mean rotating big players, there is unrest again from the fans. Because they pay for the tkts and so every match has to feature all the big players. Amidst all this, the essence of Real Madrid's play is lost. Tell me when was the last time we all witnessed the silken touch football that is so commonly associated with Madrid?No more 1-2 passes, no more magical moments on display because players are made to feel by the fans and media that every second they hold the ball their aim has to be to score a goal. Arsene Wenger hit the same point. Real Madrid's football is an art which is missing now. And wisely he chose not to move into the Bernabeu because he is an artist first. All we fans need to show is persistence and patience. Imagine if Madrid had a similar drought like situation like in Arsenal, we would have brought the roof down(not that we haven't brought it down before!). Time for us to learn from the Gunners' fans. Time for us to rally behind our team and more importantly our coach. Its all right if we do not see the desired results this season. Its allright if we are made neutral fans for the CL final @ Bernabeu this season. The regime has invested huge amounts in this team. We can do our bit by investing faith and instilling confidence in the team.

Plz get off my back for god's sake!
realfreak, I DIDN'T use ur name. 
I hv hardly posted in the last 2 weeks,as Adam had threatened to shut my oleole account, and if I have, I did it under made-up names.
I am so disappointed after the Sevilla & Milan defeats, I don't feel like debating anymore. Hell, I can't even pull up myself to rant! It all feels so hopeless!
DEJA-VU!
Exactly the same pattern like last yr! Last yr we sold Robinho on the last day, this yr we sold Robben on the 2nd or 3rd last day. Last yr we lost to Juve in the CL 3rd match, this yr we lost to AC Milan, again an Italian team, in the CL 3rd matchday.
After the Juve defeat last yr, we had a string of bad results which eventually led to the sacking of Schuster, this yr after the Gijon draw, things seem to be taking a similar turn.
Last yr we had a lot of injuries, this yr we have a LOT of injuries!
So what I'm saying is this: this yr is a re-enactment of last season, with different protagonists; that's all what is different. It is going to be Deja-vu all over again, although with a few aberrations in between.
I've decided to support Chelsea in the UCL, as I'm convinced now we cannot win it for a long time.
Barca vs Chelsea in the Bernabeu! Madridistas booing Blaugrana & cheering for Chelsea!
And plz MadridistAli, quit inciting ppl against me and quit trash-talking of Ronaldo! It's not going to make u a better person, that's 4 sure!
Reply to galacticos:
That's a first, you support one team in the league and another for the Champions League. So i'm guessing you like Chelsea more if you're banking on them. No offence mate, but that post makes you look like a total glory-hunter. Fans stick to their teams through the thick and thins.
Reply to TheAngelOfMadrid:
It's not like I'm a citizen of Madrid that I have to support Real Madrid in every competition.
Yeah, I used to be PROUD of Real Madrid! But sucking against big teams for the last 6 yrs doesn't exactly make U so proud of the all-whites now! 6 yrs is a long time in anyone's life! I have lost respect for Real Madrid recently becuz we REFUSE to learn from our mistakes! I'm also sick of seeing Raul start every match for us.
I'm not a glory hunter! I just want MY team to play good football and be feared. Unfortunately, RM does not do those things currently.
U are accusing me of being a glory hunter because I support Chelsea? Chelsea haven't won the EPL for the last 3 yrs nor the UCL in their entire history! But they have been right up there close to the top! That's what I like about them. So what glory are U talking about? The FA cups or the League Cups? I cud care less about them.
Better have someone to support in the later rounds of UCL, as I don't think we can go beyond QF (at max) this yr. Our defence & even attack, sucks in big games!
Reply to galacticos:
"I'm not a glory hunter! I just want MY team to play good football and be feared." You're totally contradicting yourself. So you only support a team because they play well and are feared or because you actually give a shit? If you're so ashamed of Real Madrid now, I don't expect you to celebrate when we win anything. A supporter which doesn't actually 'support' their team, that's just pure gold.
Reply to W335Y09:
it's the time to let higuain be our first choice up front. he is always playing with aggressiveness and confidence. once he gains back his form, he will be unstoppable like he was last season. and i also hope NVR can recover well and make his last contribution to us in his probable last season with us. we need him so badly!! seriously, i prefer the NVR+Higuain pair anytime if they are fitted to play. NVR never disppoints us unless he is injuried. he is still the goal hunter on the pitch.

Wanting your team to play good football is not a crime but only supporting them because they play good football is wrong. It's nothing personal mate but this team won't get anywhere if fans just give up. Get behind the team, stop being so negative all the time. The situation might be serious but our support will only help the team.
BENZEMA & RAUL ARE passing to each other..... unlike the last match they played together....
What the hell....
I think m. diarra is highly overrated....
and would never put him in my midfield cause his distribution sucks......
haha... wowwwwwwwwwwwww...

Also Drenthe seems to be confused. He doesn't know if he's a left back, midfielder or winger? Pellegrini needs to give a young prodigy 1 role. I don't blame Drenthe, but I know most Madrid fans will.

Usually good running teams have a good B-team. Real just doesn't have it. No youngsters, no future, nothing.
I bet Perez is trying to bribe Unicorn right now.
now this is not even fckn funny anymore..pellegrini or watevr his name is shud be out by monday regardless of how the team does the weekend..at least then wen we loose we can say we dnt have a manager yet...
The problems start with guti and raul they just don't want to step down and give others a chance like Benzema.
sacking the coach wont prove anything! real madrid have been sacking coaches for 6 years and stil havnt got anywhere! sack raul and guti

These past years hav brought notin but one painfull defeat to another! I know this is copadelaray but comon!
4-0 done and dusted
MOTHERFUCK! NOW THIS IS RETARDED! We should dig holes in the ground as fast as we can.
4-0!!!!!!!
4-0
and it should be 6-0...
FIRE PELLEGRINI and bring in a manager who is not scared to bench Raul
A defeat like this can kill the whole team spirit. They must fix this or I fear the whole season might have ended this night.
Our problem is defense and a big hole in the midfield where I believe Xabi Alonso has been a big disappointment since he moved
Wow, I would take 4-0 to Liverpool over this.
I like Pellegrini but he is just losing it and is doing nothin differnet than Schuster and Juande Ramos did.. because he wins little games and losess big ones and also is scared to bench Raul
we are done in Copa del Rey. Last year Real Union now Alcorcon.
Nice job guys!
next season we need to bring in Ribery and Gourcouff or Fabregas and bench Raul and Xabi Alonso . yup I said it . and bring in Clichy for the left back
Okay, seriously, jokes over, when do we score?
Casillas,Ramos,Pepe,Albiol,Clichy,Lass,Gourcouff(Fabregas),Ribery,Kaka,Ronaldo,Benzema.. yup thats is what I like to see.. but the problem is this season
is this game 2 legs

I don't know whether to laugh or cry. We have hit rock bottom. Pelle has totally lost the script. We have no identity right now. We rely on individual moments of brilliance far too often and freaking old players like Guti and Raul. Why not let Castilla play in Copa del rey? They couldn't have done much worse. Why did we sell Negredo again? Why did we sell Mata again? Parejo? Jurado? Torres? Soldado? Juanfran? We gotta start giving our young players a chance instead of going out and spending $250 million on superstars. Our youth players are good, they won the U-21 Club Championship against Barca for Christs sake. We gotta quit letting politics run Madrid as well. Let the coach decide who HE wants to buy and sell. It's going to be a loooonnnnnggg season if we do not figure out something quick.

Guti as a defensive midfielder?
Is he out of his mind? Like seriously? And keeping him on for 45mins while being hammered constantly for an entire half; is he making some sort of joke?
Does he know Guti once use to play as an attacker? Now he thinks he can defend?
Why can't we have one of those coaches where they actually do something when we have a huge hole in the defense?
Pellegrini isn't too blame though maybe...It could be Valdano and Perez controlling him; who knows.
jorge valdno was seen around the real madrid dressing room at half time WTF thats why we are so shit...never let the coach do hes job all these people have to bud in! why dont mr valdano be the assistnt manager if he thinks he can do things better! loser and guti was pissd off at being subbed that just shows! hes like the vice captain and he acts like a child! hes a disgrace

Unlike you this club means alot to me....you will never understand that because you are too much of a Raul Supporter.
Reply to Madrid4Life:
I don't love him. I just don't understand why everyone on the team can play shitty and yet you only blame two players. That makes no fucking sense at all. And frankly, I have better things to do than justify my sexuality to an immature asshole who knows nothing about the game.

Reply to W335Y09:
altho i do think for todays performence i wana beat them all up
Please Pelle DO NOT CONTINUE to play Marcelo and Drenthe at left back. They are terrible at defending. Put Arbeloa there or try Garay there. He played there with Racing some. Until the transfer window, then we can sign Clichy or Vargas.
Reply to Ryan McManus:
Ok Ryan I'll explain to you very simply and go to sleep cuz its getting late.
In this order.
1-Pellegrini plays Guti in a very wrong position to start off and keeps him their for 45mins.
2-Guti is blamed for disrupting the team once again screaming at Drenthe like he's some god.
3-Raul with all the super human powers is able to start todays game and play 75mins against Alcoron. This only is proof to:
A- Raul makes the shots.
B- Raul wants to play = Raul Plays
C- Raul is allowed to free roam around everywhere in the field.
CLEARLY these aren't pellegrini's tactics. Our main flaw and worst flaw is the attack. The best thing about Pellegrinis' Villareal was the way they attacked! Should I blame benzema? NO I won't; because he's new to the team and adapting but Raul? YES because obviously he's not playing the way Pellegrini wants him to(see raul running to midfield every 2 seconds) and for that; I side with Pellegrini a little.
Guys everyone is upset. Me too. Try not to take it out on each other though.
Ryan - dude you should know better, Madrid4Life is upset - be the mature one and rise above.
Madrid4Life - please don't take it out on fans who support Raul (as I do). I understand you dislike him, but we don't pick the team, don't turn against your own kind.
It's a shame that this blog has really started to define itself in terms of Raul only. In other words, every discussion we have comes down to the great Raul division between us.
That's very sad for me as a fan of Raul, but also ironic for those who believe he is damaging the club, since in a way they contribute to the damage his name does.

m8 isn't that a gud reason to say pelle is nt as good as we thought..playin a player out of position..n failin to rest old-man raul says hes scared of wat grand-pa will do to him...i say rehire cappello, atleast he dsnt take bullshit n he'll bring bck our pride n spirit..this team seem to think jus puttin on the shirt will win u games, they 4get every crappy team wana play their best game in their history against madrid so why cant they use that as an incentive n also give them their all...if we had started the game as the last thirty minutes theres no way that team would have had a shot on our goal...the players jus seem to think jus cuz they'r realmadrid teams are gona roll over for them..well fck that..we'v lost that reputation..that now belongs to barca as u see how every team that plays them always wana close the bck door as lng as they can n knowin the inevitable will happen so they dnt even try..if we want that sort of fear-respect from other teams we gna have to earn it again n nt jus think we'll get jus cuz we'r realmadrid..n to me i dnt think mr pelle is the one to get us there so i say get rid of him...

Reply to Madrid4Life:
you are fucking stupid u dumb piece of shit.
Where the fuck was M.Diarra? Metzelder? dudek? arbeloa? drenthe was awful. what did the 35M benzema do today? imean he cant even get pass a 3rd tier defence. Guti and VDV couldnt create shit, granero as usual no where to be seen.
But yeah Raul is the only person on the team, bullshit.
Pelligrini should start RVN-Higuain next game and send Benzema to Castilla to get his confidence back
The morale of the team is 0. We are fucked. Anyways Real Madrid dont really give a shit about CDR it just gives players on the bench playing time...
Real Madrid would rather win Champions League than Copa Del Rey.
Luis Aragones is out there... hmmmmmm but we should stick with Pelligrini.
Can you guys stop comparing us to Farcelona? damn
Reply to Madrididsta1:
mate arbeloa wasnt any better then drenthe at defending today "
Reply to Madridista09:
Van Nisterlooy, Raul, Benzema, Granero, Guti, Gago, Sergio Ramos, Albiol, Arbeloa, Drenthe, Marcelo, M. Diarra....That doesn't sound like a lineup that doesn't care about the CdR. Don't try to cover up this embarassment. I'm not a Madridista or a Cule but at least Barcelona won the CdR with youth players.
Whoever says Pellegrini should be sacked, better think twice. First of all, this is early in the game and if they sack him, things will only get worse from here. This was our initial problem remember? Ever since Real's been changing coaches, things have started to go downhill. Second, if they sack him, who do you suggest they'll bring? To be honest, no coach would want to coach this team at the moment, they'll be scared for their job.
The core problem is Perez. He's been ruining the club since 2003. Even when he was gone, he had his puppet(calderon) do his dirty work for him. He prepared the arrival of Ronaldo. Nothing against that really but couldn't he invest some time and money on other players like Villa for example? Perez needs to go which is highly unlikely. That dude is like leach.
Now this loss will hopefullu be slap in the face for them and really bring them back to earth.
By the way, Raul should not be a starter what so ever! I don't care if he's scoring in some games, he's ruining the place for younger players like Higuain. He could play but as sub.
It's just getting way out of hand
Reply to Madridista09:
I bet Valdano would have made the same reaction as you.
Bash all you want.
EvoLtc, I apologize. I overreacted but I still stand behind my opinion that Real Madrid in the last 6 years has turned into Raul Madrid.
Come on people....What is the matter with you?
Its pretty obvious, I don't even know what needs explaining anymore.
We don't have a fresh team; we have the same team with the same arrogant management and the same Captain who will not give up running(I say running and not "playing football") until he gets more silverware.
We need Scolari as a coach and we need him now. He knows about what Raul has done to this team.
For those who say that Benzema is a flop then I really really wish he can leave madrid; because we don't deserve him with fans like you. He would go to any other "organized" team and score 30 goals a season.
Lets look at it this way;
Make a poll Adam.
Do you blame Real Madrids inconsistent attack on Benzema's lack of effort/skill.?
or
Do you blame Real Madrids inconsistent attack on Raul playing every game and moving outside his attacking position leaving benzema alone upfront?
Mourinho For Real Madrid!!!
What an embarrassment
. If we as fans feel so imagine the plight of the coach, the staff, the regime. All recognized faces around the world. There is no place they can hide themselves up. Until November 10 there would absolutely be no sleep whatsoever for the coach. The players may not care much but the coach is under fire now. In a matter of a week we've been beaten twice after conceding 4 goals. And to believe that this probably should have been the easiest of weeks in terms of opponents we face. I feel really sorry for pellegrini. What more can the man do if players play absolutely crappy football? Playing players out of position does not have to show a coach in poor light. But there seems to be sth wrong with Guti's attitude though. You do not shout and howl at your own teammates when the game is progressing. And when you know the media is waiting for such a thing to happen to fill their front pages, you cannot do the same mistake again. Already the morale of the team is on an all-time low. Unrest due to media reports is the last thing we want to totally disrupt the team. I hope we start turning the tables around starting this week. A derby victory, followed by a visit to sansiro and then the return leg of alcoron @ Bernabeu. I hope the players show tremendous resilience and courage and inflict damage to the aforementioned teams in the coming weeks. All is not lost yet.
Hey Everyone! An awful result no doubt and while i must confess to not seeing the game it must have been a shocker to lose to a nonentity side like this.
That said making snap descisions like sacking Pellegrini or selling half the team is not the answer.
Patience is needed. 2 seasons ago Barcelona finished 3rd, 18 points behind us, players underperformed and they won nothing. An awful season for them. last season with virtually the same squad of players they won everthing playing brilliant football and recieving the type of plaudits we've not earned since 2003ish.
Fair enough they changed their manager inbetween those seasons but nontheless remained patient when they made a mediocre start to last season and perservered with Pep Guardiola and it paid dividends.
Yes, Barca also sold a couple of big names inbetween those seasons aswell but they did so intelliently, weeding out Deco and Ronaldinho (who both had two mediocre last seasons at Barca) rather than wholesale changes.
While i was against the return of the galacticos project at the start of the season i did state that regardless who plays in the team patience will be needed. Continually sacking managers and having a high turnover of players every season is unhealthy. I have never seen any club have prolonged success with this approach.
Give the team a chance to gel and i'm sure we will come good. Settling in for some players can take a while no matter how much they cost.
While it might be horrible for some MADRID fans to contemplate, looking and learning from Barcelona's fortunes over the previous 2 years CAN help MADRID. If not, look at Alex Ferguson at Man Utd: imagine where they would be just now if they had sacked Fergie after his first (trophyless) 3 years?!
Yes, even if we remain patient we may have to wait for success for a couple of years. But this is still better than making snap decisions because prolonged success will then be an even longer wait. None of us want that.
HALA MADRID!!!
hahaha they are so used to castillas saving our ass.
Dudek was probably like.. fuck that I prefer being at the bench
admit it we are ridiculous!!
so frustrating, no passion, no class, no aggressiveness. how can we get shit while we are not ready on both physical and psychological level. Pelle is obviously doing a awful job but i wonder if sacking coach every 3 mths can give us any better result. man utd and barca have been stably sticking with one playing style and an exclusive system for years. what have we done??? keep changing coaches??? i dare say there must be some immediate impact if we do it again now, but does this mean we can prolong the intensity for the whole season?? Schuster and Juande did give us immediate impacts on the team but could they maintain it??? could they lead us to beat big teams?? capello was the most innocent victim and he was nearly able to build up sth for us b4 he was unreasonably sacked. none of these coaches have enough time to establish a steady system for us that suits our available players the most. Schuster, Juande, and Pelle wouldn't be able to achieve what they have done with getefate, sevilla, and villareal with just 3 mths or 6 mths. things looked worse and worse lately, but i personally think Pelle deserves at least several more matches to prove whether he could do stop the bleeding. we've already diagnose the disease and let's see if Pelle can cure it or not. if he can't, go ahead and sack him like what u people are shouting!! i no it's a nightmare for everyone who loves real madrid, im in pain too.
Reply to DynastyofRealMadrid:
del bosque, who was our best coach during last 9 season(at least the most successful), is the only one who was able to build up an unique playing style that exclusively belongs to us. and he didn't have a smooth start too, we were beaten by bayern munich twice in a row in CL after he took over from John Benjamin Toshack , we conceded 8 goals in those two games and pple already began to think that season was over but we ended up being the CL winner. i doubt if Pelle is able to turn things around like this but i personally think he deserves a little more time( at least couple more matches)
Real Madrid is really funny, I have to admit. At least 70m of talent was out there and lost to Alcorcon who are barely worth 5m.
sack Pellegrini!!!!! he dont know how to use the player he got,he dont know how to bring the best from them,he is useless!!! better go back to Villarreal!!! they need you asshole!!! wast of money if this what we got from million!!!see what i say long2 time ago,about kakak useless..all you guys say he better,he the king bullshit!!! now u can cry and pray to god and wish robben and snijder were here!!! 4-0???to what club??????owh from Division B side Alcorcon!!!!!what joke!!! i dont care we loss to ac.milan or sevilla but devisen "B" CLUB???omg wast of money!!! and full of Embarrassment!!! if i were Pellegrini i kill myself.and this were the time when he make excuse about this and that bla bla bla bullshit!!! when dealing with a million no room for faulty and excuse...i realy feel sorry for the madrid fan we hope for glory but this what we get.shame.....just go Pellegrini we be better without you.
you can say"owh this is just the begining" ya begining of worse real madrid era...sometime we must open our ear and listen what ppl have to say...money cant buy us trofi..wast of money.
I honestly don't get what Pellegrini was thinking. EVERY good team plays its youth going into such games because the first team doesn't give a rat's ass about such fixtures. Man Utd does it, Barcelona do it, heck, even Pellegrini's old club Villareal do it. Why the heck are we so special that we can't send out the side that are more motivated and more used to third tier football. Castilla would've done better than us because they have heart, the will to succeed. They're not over-paid pricks who think no end of themselves. Pellegrini's getting stupider by the minute. I'm expecting us to beat Getafe and Milan and also make a comeback in the second-leg for Pellegrini's own good. I can dream, can't I?
Can't wait to read Caracoleo's analysis, he's always so right.
Reply to TheAngelOfMadrid:
I'm pretty sure Alcoron is nowhere near worth 5million.
I'd estimate their net worth at 300-500 thousand euros max if not less.
I really think as much as we support Real Madrid on this blog we could have made a Realmadridtalk team and played better than Real Madrid themselves played yesterday.
Oh this just in.
Guti thinks the players should respect the shirt and club they are playing for.
I'm gonna go punch the wall brb.
Sack the coach?!! Are you guys crazy?!!! Why? cause he can't motivate his players? Fuck no! their salary alone is motivation to go out there and win every single game and all those who on the bench and get chances to go out and shine in games like these needs to do that. When you keep changing coaches and get the same results that should tell you it's not the coaches fault. Check the players who have remained throughout the coach sackings.
Where are all the Raul supporters who were looking for Raul bashers a couple games ago when he scored. "He's the saviour"...look at him now. hahahahahah It's always the same thing, he shines (in a game where he's gonna break some personal record no less) and then he disappers. Give me 1 GOOD reason why he started in a copa del rey game even though we had RVN and Benzema to strike? It's not like he wasn't starting and playing full 90mins in the last 5 games where we only won one game. That alone tells you how much power he has. I was never a raul basher, I just know what I want for this team but now I am certainly gonna think twice.
When you field a group of washed up old men against a young hungry one, this is what you get a 4-0 scoreline which could've been worse. Madrid was lucky.
Retire with dignity Raul and Guti. Bring back our Negredo. Time for a change. Youth is it.
Reply to realfreak:
Lol and you expect real madrid to play their youth???
Barcelona are going to start with their bench and about 3 youth players and they are going to win. They have called up 6 of them.
Real Madrid play famous players not the most promising ones.
Wwhat will we achieve by sacking pelle?
nothing just more embarassment
Reply to Madridista09:
They need to start playing the youths. All the players they brought in are under 30....roughly between 21-27 plus they have young ones on the bench and loaned. Why loan players and when they come back they can't play/gel with the existing players. Have them play little by little with the squad we have. Also Real need to bring up the entire castilla defence
Reply to Madridista09:
True; and what will we achieve by keeping him? MORE EMBARRASSMENT.

I shall call them RAUL Madrid.
the team is playing sloppy football ......no discipline in there football ....really disorganize.....that what you get when you want to play attacking football with no rules .....the coach need to get the team playing more discipline football..... he need to strike a balance . ......2 raul has so much influence at this club no matter what coach come to the club he had a big influence than him.....that is so sad .........when we going to move on ......hala madrid ....
Reply to Madrid4Life:
Yes! the shame is he is going to start this weekends game which is completely contradictory to Pellegrini own rotation policy Raul has started and played almost every minute for the past 2 weeks since the end of the international break. How is it that he rests young players like ronaldo, kaka, higuain, and albiol but the 32 year old gets to play in every single game even in the copa del rey where acuna can't even start. Pellegrini just needs to be more like aragones and grow some balls and drop Raul for some games whats the worst that can happen they start winning or he gets fired and Real Madrid still have to pay him, from his perspective he has nothing to loose.
Reply to realfreak:
the players were motivated. Dudek hasnt played for a while. Vaart wants a starting role so he had to prove himself. same arbeloa metzetler and drenthe.
If we lost 1-0 and dominated the game it would be fine. The problem is that we dont ever dominate. Its end of october and pelle hasnt been able to do shit with his 200 million squad. its ridiculous.
I never liked that we kept changing coaches but we need a world class coach who has the name so he can control our players.
I dont know but I think the only available coach out there would be mancini. But if we managed to get hiddink just for this year...welll he is the best coach around.
Its the tactics nothing else. it has to be. It was 4-0 against a small side. Our players dont close down right....they dont know how to counter attack ....nor how to pass to each other. ITS THE TACTICS
BTW I hate real madrid website...all the playes are smiling and saying stuff like we wont give up and we will turn this around and copa del rey is important to us.
All of this seem so fake. we need more professionalism, I want pelle to slam the team and tell them they are all pre-madonnas and buck up or you will be benched.
Ferguson publicly talked about Rio ferdinands bad form....he knows what he is doing he wants to motivate him

Actually i think its the curse of real madrids physio room. all the players keep getting injured all the time
Guys, we're dead against Milan. RealMadrid.com says Cris has to remain inactive until he undergoes another examination in one week’s time which is a day after the Milan game.
Cristiano's latest injury report is a total lie.
I will bet you anything that he's ready to play but they are setting this up so he doesn't join his national team.
Its time for Portugal to pay up some of that 94mill it seems.

does it really matter whether it is a lie or not!!!!if he doesnt play against milan in CL we r doomed and so is pelligrini
We are now really the biggest joke on earth,today they made a laugh out of me in school,TOTALL HUMULATION,4-0 from Segunda C i believe
Raul,Benzema,VDV,Guti,Arbeloa and the other stars all of them were playing,may God be with us against Getafe (and Higuain too)

Reply to DynastyofRealMadrid:
Yes but you can't assume that Pellegrini's playing style is meant to fit Madrid.
We have concrete evidence now that it doesn't; Its pretty obvious we need time to gel but the basics of football are missing at the moment in the team.
A good question to ask is. Is pellegrini really a coach of just a puppet?
When we decide on that one we can agree whether he has a chance to take Madrid far enough.
Right now I really would like Valdano to coach us. Their is a good thing about him. He is very strict with players who don't play correctly on the field. First thing he did when he became a sporting director was he told Heinze he was going to be sold; An attitude like that is what we need, as mean as that sounds but this Real Madrid needs a sense of professionalism. Players should be punished if they don't follow orders on the pitch or try to disrupt the team (like what Guti is doing).
I will not be surprised if Guti gets sold in the winter transfer window after they way he's been acting.
Reply to DynastyofRealMadrid:
YES but a coaches job is to come into the team and bring his style of play and to instill it into the players.
Up to now pellegrini's style is just to let the players roam around in the pitch and hopes that individual efforts get the result. And thats why when cristiano played we would win...because he is a player that can take the whole team on his shoulders with his free kicks and runs.
P.S
I dont understand what is going on with raul...I mean did he really need to start him against Alcorcon??? Poor acuna ...does he actually believe the coach will ever give him playing time??
Reply to DynastyofRealMadrid:
Don't you understand? People won't give us time. This is a bloody 250m project. It's easy to say the team needs time but we don't have much, nor does Pellegrini. We have to pay back the banks, gain some revenue, regain our status as Europe's elite club and you freaking want time? Any other club would give them time, heck, I want them to be given at least 3 seasons but this is Real Madrid. This club does not have patience. It wants results from day one. Losing 4-0 to Alcorcon would be embarrassing for Sporting Gijon let alone Real Madrid. The club didn't spend 250m to see us humiliated by a third-tier side!

Reply to DynastyofRealmadrid :
My friend, those people are the world around us. At Real Madrid, there's more politics and less football. Everyone expects us to win after spending these amounts on players, no losing 4-0 to bloody Alcorcon. The team's not showing signs of progressing and November is on our head. We really need to start geling.
Reply to Madrid4Life:
you can see the team has no discipline on the field ...this need to change even thought we want to play attacking football...
Their is another problem I'd like to point out.
Real Madrid unlike other teams is not trying to find a playing style that fits them; they are trying to achieve a playing style regardless of how the team/the defense/the coach will look.
I can't believe 1 rival team can cause so much distability in us. This is hard to admit but its the truth.
We are trying to compete with Barcelona when they are miles ahead of us.
To wrap it up I'll just put this out their; regardless of the way you play nowadays its all about the end result. I don't want Madrid to play attacking football if the consequences for that is losing against Alcoron.
Reply to Madrid4Life:
Guys - I've analyzed this loss to Alcorcon and figured it out.
Being a true Madridista, Perez wants to encourage other Madrid teams to rise and excel as well. For this reason, he and Valdano went to the 3,000 seater "stadium" there in their suit and ties, and watched Real Madrid pretend to play football. This great victory by Alcorcon will be something that they will talk about for the next few centuries there.
Also - Since Madrid is the Royal team, the King of Spain has quietly decreed that he would like other teams and other cities (like Barca) to occasionally win HIS cup. Being loyal subjects of the King, Madrid obeys.
So now I hope you understand that the Greatest Club On Earth, has both a heart and a mind. We are charitable, as Royalty must be.
Now, my friends ....enjoy the Copa Del Rey.... while I retreat to a corner somewhere and can't believe that I wrote a comment like this.
Hala Madrid!

u def don't know shit about football. i respect both vdv and kaka but only playing with heart is enough in football. one plays hard butstill can't get nth, that means this player is not at the level that can turn things around with his own feet. u are the just an ignorance about football. kaka only played bad at 3 games and u clean out all his effort that he had brilliantly contributed at the first few games. im not a kaka fan but i definitely believe he is still one of the best in the world and def better than VDV. be reasonable and don't be too biased. u fucking blame this 4-0 defeat on kaka who was even playing for the whole game while u said VDV, who is on the pitch, deserves the credit?? what a joke. i didn't say VDV did anything wrong but he was just not good enough to make our fucked up team(yesterday) at least to look better. u keep saying some stupid shit like wasting money on signing kaka but u can't come up with any evidence to back u up what makes VDv and sneijder better than kaka. that is really stupid. zidane took couple mths to adapt to the team and kaka did great on the first couple games. everyone, including pele and maradona had bad form. they are not fucking robots. wasting money for a shit. i think u are the such a piece of shit who should stop insulting our own player. if he sucks throughout the entire season!! open ur mouth again, but not right now!!

it's really pathetic if u think the broken team we had last season could beat liverpool. i don't see a problem for us to beat milan with full team. and don't be so naive to compare the last year squad we had last yr to the current squad. it is totally different senario. the 2-3 defeat was about some bullshit. we had them totally dominated but who could expect Iker, the greatest performer so far, would turn it over like that?? we were hopeless last season but now we at least have the hope since we haven't been eliminated from the CL yet. the main reason that real madrid has decline in recent yr is that we never have the patience with coaches, plus those pathetic fans like u only think sacking coach can solve any problem.
Reply to TheAngelOfMadrid:
i understand what u said, but as fan, we just simply want our beloved team to succeed and those politcal stuff is def not sth that we should look up to. everyone expects us to win but we are not playing football to entertain them. everyone envies real madrid and always like to pick some silly shit from our butt. but i don't think real madrid has to do anything to please these people. we just gotta do what we ought to do-to play better football and show the world taht we are coming back after the "darkage" under calderon. i really appreciate the way u defend our team while that stupid losgalactico or whatsoever talked about he "changes" his channel to chelsea. that's what a fan ought to do.

Reply to lovemona:
hey kid, i ain't gonna argue with u in such an immature manner. i haven't done it one time but i was regreted about it cuz at least that dude bitching on me knows sth about football. but u are just a pathetic retard. "if dont see anything from him i wll nvr stop mocking him..." i conclude my assumption about u by this!! does anyone here give a shit about this??? keep on doing that. go get a kaka sculpture and do whatever u want at home kid!! and please, type english cuz i have no idea what the fuck u are saying. im backing kaka cuz i think he is a great player not because he is a superstar. and i gotta teach u sth kid. scoring is not a playmaker's duty. a playmaker's main duty is to create play. no wonder why u keep saying VDV is better cuz the dutch scores more. but if this is the way u judge on a playmaker, u definitely are newbie on soccer. and besieds, kaka did score 2 goals but only 1 is PK, sth i don't think a garden kids like u could have done so. make ur comeback on football and stop saying sth stupid like "you are asshole"(it seems the only thing u can say and repeat over and over again) with ur funny english. i told u i ain't a kaka fan and u feel free say whatever u want against him. it only makes urself look stupid and it doesn't make me feel bad. it only gives ur age by doing such an immature thing.
you pay million we aspect million not shit like tht-----translate to pple people.

Reply to lovemona:
hey cunt!! shut the fuck up and stop bothering to ask some stupid question i've already said 100 times u son of a bitch!! if u are such a stupid hater about a player, no matter how well they've done, they still play bad in ur eyes cuz u are judging with prejudice. kaka is just a new player and needs time to adapt like everyone else. his value doesn't make him to blend into the team faster. real madrid is a new htat has no unique style nad plays under no system when kaka comes. we are trying to rebuild a new style around these new players. it won't be achieved in one or two dayz. is kaka the only one to blame in the recent defeats?? everyone plays bad. u worthless piece of shit are just blaming everything on kaka in a stupid manner.
Reply to lovemona:
dude I ve been reading your comments. How can you say Kaka is not a great player. He is world class. Its not his fault he is under-performing...the whole team is not clicking.
Take messi for example...when playing with argentina he is not doing anything. Why?? Because of maradona...he is a shitty coach.
Pelle is not using the players right. None of our past coaches new how to utilize our players...and I really dont understand why (besides capello who is a great tactician). And Ramos...the only think he did right was to free robben and let him do his thing. He bailed us in many occasions.
Both sneijder and vaart are excellent players but were not used correctly or even plain not used to make room for freaking guti and raul.
If this happens, we will definitely win the champions league

@anayth,
What makes you think that? Sure you must be aware of liverpool's position in the BPL. Had they lost to UTD at anfield, it could have spelt doom for benitez. And besides, we are not doing bad in the league and kind of ok in the CL. One victory in the derby this weekend should go a long way in instilling some confidence in the players minds ahead of the trip to the sansiro next week. Pellegrini is not a bad coach. Its just that things are clicking for him.You cannot guarantee that a benitez or a mancini would be able to turn things around if they were to replace pellegrini. Moreover doing that only tarnishes an already ruptured image of madrid in the eyes of the world. As one guy put it, we will become a big time laughing stock in the world. I don't think we do ourselves any good by resorting to this hire and fire policy again. Now that the damage is already done, redeeming our lost pride is our only way out and sacking the coach is not the right step to achieve it.
Reply to Madrid4Life:
When Scolari was sacked at Chelsea Hiddink came in as crisis manager. He turned around what seemed like a lost season. Second match in the semi finals of the CL Chelsea had full control of Barca. He achieved that in only 3 months! My point Hiddink had to clean up after Scolari. Scolari couldn’t get along with Drogba, Cech and Ballack. He still blames those 3 for his failure at Chelsea. If that man comes to Madrid we are doomed.
And why blame Pellegrini? I think Perez and Valdano are at fault, their crazy policy. Pellegrini can only do so much. The hierarchy at Madrid is totally messed up. No consistency at all. The president will yet again hide behind the managers. How many will be sacked before Perez/Valdano goes?
Reply to anayth:
Don't be so gullible. Valadano and Benetiz have an extremely bad relationship; I think it was something like Valdano fucking Benetizes wife one night, serios shit.
I had the weirdest dream in my nap today. I was at a local super market and I saw Cristiano Ronaldo sitting around while I was at the cashier. And was like "oh look its Ronaldo!!!" Anyway I was just staring at him and nobody noticed him but me. He looked back and I gave a thumbs up and asked him are you okay? When you comin back?
He was confused a little; then he smiled back and said 2 and a half games.
Anyway I'm no superstition but I think he'll be back in Atletico Madrids second half. LOL
Reply to Madrid4Life:
Have you ever noticed you were different? You like girls but you just never get that click?
Ronaldo to the rescue. I think your dream is a message. 
Reply to Denzel:
Rofl; Well I do have a girlfriend and I am getting married to her; so that scratches out a possibility of me being gay if thats what your trying to point out.
I have faith Ronaldo though; he's our last hope for Madrid at the moment.

how long have you been supporting madrid?
our best manager ever is Munoz.
Reply to DynastyofRealMadrid:
bla bla bla bla hahahahahahhaha whatever.... what you gona do about it..hahahah fuck off you shithole..owh now you the inventor of word hahahahaha u such a jackass hahaha
Kaka is a unique player, he is the player that we have missed since Zizou.
You cant blame everything on 1 player. When the home leg is played, Real Madrid will play with the best XI and Kaka will be there not VDV. Kaka is the best playmaker in the world for years now, dont ever question kaka.
Fuck my worst nightmare came true.
Real Madrid being depending on Cristiano Ronaldo, damn......
Reply to DynastyofRealMadrid:
ya i play winning 11 so what??you think u can beat me at winning 11??hahahahahahha
Dude, cool down..watch your language. I thk if u continue with that bad words, you gonna be kick out.
I cant believe what has happen with this forum. Its turning to be a war of bad words.
Anyway, i dont see any relevancy to prolong this discussion. RM lose, so we cant turn back time and try to correct whats wrong.
Adam, i think its time for a new tread.

My thoughts here LINK
I am ready to be bashed out. Go ahead.
Just so everyone knows. I am going to do what the fans what Perez to do. A clean up. I am going to clean this blog from those who just curse each other and don't give a shit about the club, they just played FIFA and were impressed by Real Madrid and then started watching their games (yes there are fans like those), I swear If I could know them at the Stadium I would shoot them.

u guys see how childish that lovemama is acting?? i apologize being annoyed cuz i was gonna say sth around football(soccer) but suprisely some pple turn out writing sth totall irrelevant. i no it's my fault to even rely him. i will stop it cuz i don't wanna waste my effort to argue with a retard. u guys are welcome to take a look at how funny that fool is commenting.
Reply to Madrid4Life:
Was a joke mate.
I don't like the fact we're depending on Ronaldo. It just shows Real Madrid isn't a team anymore, but a team of individuals. Can't remember the last time Real Madrid was a team. I think RvN can have a positive input. He always supports all the players.
ok2 ok2...i stop using bad word im sorry all and mostly to DynastyofRealMadrid..so god bless you all and hala madrid.peace no war.
sack pelli!!!!! ok tht alll
Reply to lovemona:
i will suggest u to read the next post by adam and try to identify what the real problem of our team is. the post stays out the facts so precisely and i believe it will help u to understand what's going on more easily. i ain't tryna start shit with u and this is not a blog to do so. i just want to tell u that no particular coach can turn things around if we keep on going like this. NONE. sack pelle?? then what mate??
