You'd first ask if he watched the match. A team that took their chances would have scored. Same way we should have had more goals.

This is what they'd do throughout this season. Every unfavorable informed prediction must be from a hater. Ignore when you can.

-Lord

You're funny, where did I call Miremoses a hater?
I gave a playful banter at his prediction having had the benefit of hindsight and even he saw the humour in it judging by his reply.

Why so serious?

Interestingly, we may not do worse in the goal scoring department in the league. CR7 only scored 26 goals in La Liga as he played fewer games than usual and had a bad run for some time. As long as Bale stays fit, Benzema retains his sharpness, and the others pitch in (Asensio and co.), scoring goals shouldn't be our problem against Spanish opposition. We now play free-flowing possession football which has been Barca's secret in winning the league. You keep the ball, opposition get fewer chances.

I have high hopes for Lope and the team, just wish the board will give him the additional striker (sic squad depth) he desperately needs. We don't need CR7 to win 70+% of our matches.

-Lord

Bale staying fit and Benzema retaining his sharpness is a big ask though and that's the problem that would hit our goalscoring stats but I agree if Benz keeps this up and Bale is available for about 90% of our league matches we would score a lot.

Ya we won, against a Getafe side that looked less concerned about moving forward.

Also no one is talking about getting a new striker,we only managed to get 3 shots on target in the whole 90mins. We need a striker, we can't keep our hopes on benzema, we still have a long way to go.

I don't remember such a playful banter after the UCL final when many here wanted to crucify Zizzou for not starting Bale, only for it to turn out fine in the end. Eventually, some of us were like "eesh, that was a close one."

It's a prediction, what's the use of the banter (playful or otherwise). Are we really getting to a point where folks can't make predictions without expecting a knock (cheeky or not) afterwards?

You also did the "Spanish" thing. That's a playful banter too?

The way you guys will be tiptoeing. And when someone turns on the light, you'd go like "no I wasn't heading to the kitchen, I was just heading to the bathroom which is in the opposite direction..."

I think everyone regardless of whatever section of the fanbase they're in knows we need a striker. hopefulLandlord has said so times with number, and he's our resident chief fringe fan. Only Perez and Sanchez would be surprised about that stat you quoted.

Neymar is not happening this season and Neymar isn't really a striker we need

we need a complete striker with amazing finishing ability. a player like Harry Kane

Toni Kroos had 98% passing accuracy.
He attempted 119 passes and had 117 successful passes.
Attempted 16 long balls and completed all of them.

Maestro Kroos cool

Awesome. Our play yesterday was nice in terms of possession and how quickly we recoverd possession immediately we lose it especially in the first half.

That's half my issue with you. If we had lost or drew the match, some section of the fanbase would have shone a spotlight on his team selection, and rightly so. For many before the game, the experiment was unnecessary knowing that we just got humiliated by our bitter city rivals, and we needed an unequivocally strong start to the league in light of our competition and how last season started.

Lope's Spanish favoritism isn't an urban myth. It's factual. So he's lucky it went well in the end. If it didn't, he'd have been taken to the chopping block and for good reason. And this is not exclusive to Lope. Many here last season decried Zidane's stubbornness, and if he hadn't won the UCL; he prolly would have been sacked. And that's a coach that gave us a B2B UCL and double in decades.

Everyone knows Lope isn't getting any favors from the board's insistence on not strengthening the squad depth; but that doesn't mean he gets free rein to pursue a Spanish bias. And a million sarcastic digs from you wouldn't change that. Better get used to it; like we've gotten accustomed to the fact that you're anti-CR7.

Perez is in a very comfortable position. Nothing is remotely threatening his Presidency from the politics side of things. Then even if we still had CR7 and the squad was beefed up, a UCL trophy is not assured and Barca could theoretically still top us by three or less points in the league as has often been the case in recent years; and we don't really need a special squad to win the CdR.

So from where they sit, crisis is only when we don't make the UCL SF, not finish in the top 2 for the second time, and not win the CdR this season. And even with the loss of CR7 and our relatively shallow squad; the possibility of all 3 happening this season is slim.

All of this is compounded by the fact that a section of the fan base don't want to tackle the board.

And that's the conundrum. We'd need to have a sh*t season first before this board starts seeing the obvious. Because all it takes for this behavior to continue next summer is for us to win a CdR, or finish in the top 2, or have a UCL SF. Only one is enough.

You think he's favouring Spanish players, I disagree. I think we've argued this before so no need for that again

many of those that think he's favouring Spanish players would look at that lineup and make a mental image of bringing it up if we didn't win or play well. we won so they couldn't bring it up

Anytime we lose or draw it would be brought up over and over again so those times we win is an opportunity for me to take digs at those that would've brought it up otherwise. Let me enjoy those moments in peace.

In as much as I would have loved him to stay...

It was a perfect decision for him.. And favors both RM and CR7

We know Real Madrid don't hold old players... And Cr7 doesn't want to leave Europe any time soon... He had to leave for where he can get that chance of staying as long as he wishes.

Zizou left, Perez wahala and tax problem... He's won everything... There is absolutely nothing to left to achieve in RM... He needed new challenges, he wants to feel like he is just starting out again.

I don't know if he holds the agenda of trying to prove himself in Italy but if he can it will be an addition to his great career.

Real Madrid are gonna be fine... Especially with a new coach and a new team sitting... If Perez can spend on big players up front you won't miss the GOAT.

I wish you Success against any team but not against Cr7 Juve wink
