As much as I harped about Suarez and applauded his ban, I'm also sort of sad that he can't play today as I'm VERY curious to see how he'll fit into this Barca side

Real's midfield: Kroos, Modric and Isco.
Nope, I don't think that's gonna work for Carlo. It was a bad decision selling Di Maria and Alonso. At least they should have signed a quality holding mid. Maybe Khedira can play that role, otherwise things might get nasty. Their defense is very lightweight, too. |

It's hard to support Real right now when they just go around throwing stupid £ at everyone to get whoever they want.
So it's really rather amusing to watch their moneybags get gubbed in Sociedad. Once again the Ancelotti syndrome of having a world class squad but not getting the full amount out of it seems to be happening again. |

Am I the only one rooting for Carlo?

Nope I root for him too. Actually I feel sorry for him. He's just about created a brilliant team with a fixed spine, and those crazy bosses, just basically ripped it all out and handed him a fresh team with little less than a week to go for the season. Ridiculous.
I don't even know why he stayed on. He should have walked. |

I like Carlo, I like Madrid. But there's very little to no chance he's going to win La Liga. A combination of him (mostly) being "poor" in the league and the higher-ups at Madrid can't help but mess with things.
Khedira needs to start for them. Selling Alonso is okay since they bought in Kroos, it's not like he was a mobile ball winner anyway. But you can't start with Kroos, Isco and Modric in a 3. |

Was Khedira fit? I must admit I was surprised by that one. But then they were really unthreatened for the first half an hour, and could have scored a couple more. I thought his talk after the game was interesting. Sounded like he's going to do something drastic.

At least they should have signed a quality holding mid. Maybe Khedira can play that role, otherwise things might get nasty. Their defense is very lightweight, too. Khedria needs to play there imo, they need more balance. It's funny they spend millions upon millions on flashy and marketable players but none on that terrible defence with Varane being the only one who's a top quality CB/defender. Pepe, Marcelo, Carvahal and Ramos are all defensive liabilities.

Once again the Ancelotti syndrome of having a world class squad but not getting the full amount out of it seems to be happening again. In this case Carlo simply has nothing to do with it. You really think he didn't want to keep Di Maria and Alonso? Perez made those decisions, Carlo as always has been diplomatic and graceful throughout the summer and kept his mouth shut about how he really feels and answered media questions about how Di Maria and Alonso have basically been pushed out The balance of the team has been destroyed, it was already in a precarious position due to all the attacking players in the same 11 that Carlo had to fit in, but he managed it, just like he did at Milan, but at Milan he had Rino and a legendary defensive 4, at Real that's just not the case, I'm sure he wanted a great CB to partner Varane and a proper FB but he got James and Kroos instead which imo were both just flashy signing that weren't really needed I can bet good money right now that Khedira isn't being played not because Carlo doesn't want to include him but because he's under pressure to not only play all the flashy players they already had but to include the new signings as well, which doesn't leave any space for a non-flashy player |

They have to play James Rodriguez, and they're going to make a Robinho out of him I fear.

I wonder if they will regret letting Alonso go as much as the Makalele departure years ago. Another great loss today (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I really didn't understand James' position tonight. Too lightweight midfield, much confusion upfront. Carlo should switch back to 4-3-3, play Khedira as anchor and bench James.

Playing without any kind of ball winner is total madness.
