Strange thing are happening.

Safe to say Carvajal >> barka?

monerozi5590:
That's is a very good statistics. Rodrygo is already at the top.

He has a good shooting accuracy and he is good in the air too.

Rodrygo will bang more goals from the LW.

At this stage, you guys will praise rodrygo for just have a shot on target, because wtf is "very good" about that poor stat??

Vini had 41g/a in 58 games and the narrative is that he is poor and should sit on the bench for the next couple of games.

Rodrygo 39g/a in the LW in 78 games, he should start the next couple of games.

a4turitoroman:
They're just giving different excuses for him,
He hardly sees minutes lol

Rodrygo is a highly talented player, but he lacks the drive and tenacity to make it to the top.

People are busy screaming "he's not playing LW" but if you check his stat from the LW, he's averaging 1g/a in two games.

But some people here are making him look like he's prime CR7.

pu7pl3:
If Mbappe is out of form and is struggling to score for long stretches like Vini he should see the bench too.
Xabi has said it that nobody has a guaranteed spot and so far he has put his money where his mouth is.

This Una agenda is something I can't understand.

Rodrygo that hasn't scored since the first quarter of the year should start the next couple of games, but Vini that dropped 2 G/a yesterday should drop to bench for the next couple of games.

Wetin be this abeg??

If it was rodrygo that dropped 1 goal + 1 assist, the narrative today will be "SELL VINICIUS, WE DONT NEED HIM"

The way some Madrid fans pedestalise Rodrygo, people will think he has the same stats as CR7.

Even ferran Torres that sits on barka's bench had more goals than him last season despite playing less than 50% of his time.

But let's continue.

FergieRaww:
Rodrygo hasn’t scored like forever cause he hardly sees minutes again, give him that opportunity let Vini fight for his confidence back to that Vini we all love

Which kind white washing be this abeg?

Same rodrygo that played almost all our games last season?

monerozi5590:
Rodrygo from the left will score goals. He played well yesterday.

Rodrygo and Vini can share playing time.

Yes they can share game time, but why the hell are people here advocating for vinicius to be benched for a player that hasn't scored for us since the first quarter of the year?

I wouldn't have a problem with vinicius being benched for Gonzalo, but for rodrygo?? Hell no

FergieRaww:
No, clearly Vini is the better player by far but you can’t keep stroking something that’s not working and expect different results…. i mean he’s sort of out of form, why not start from the bench with his speed and energy?! …. That’ll bring his confidence back

I didn’t say Rodrygo should totally displace him from the Left but your blind hate for Rodrygo won’t let you understand where i’m coming from

I don't understand this your logic at all, when mbappe was out of form and missing sitters, he wasn't benched, all of a sudden you want vinicius to sit on the bench for 5 games?? Did he tell you people that he's fatigued?

You want to start someone that last scored in march simply because you think vinicius is out of form? Make it make sense abeg

FergieRaww:
Honestly i want it that way, start Rodrygo five games straight on the left with Vini coming in and let’s see how it goes

We don’t have tough fixtures yet, i wish Xabi can test it and find a way to fix three of them together… can’t believe the three of them all prefer the left side of attack mann!! 🤦🏽‍♂️

How does this even make any sense?

Rodrygo's last la liga goal was in January, yet he should be ahead of Vini??

What a player Carreras is.

3-0 victory

Though we were a bit sloppy during the second half

pu7pl3:
Oversimplifying our issues in that match to just "lacking a player in the box" is very naive of you bro.
You could put Prime Raul there in the box and we wouldn't still score if the other issues like quick passing, runs and movement are neglected.

Vini did well defensively in that match but he was very poor going forward and he kept ignoring Carreras overlaps which would have led to some cutbacks and chaos atleast. Rodrygo wouldnt have, Rodrygo is also a master of one touch passing and movement and that's what Mbappe needed in that match. Adding Gonzalo would also have been a huge boost but definitely Rodrygo would have brought something better than what Vini was doing there.

We had games like that last season that our opponent back the bus and rodrygo played fully 90 minutes yet his impact wasn't felt, with a good striker like Gonzalo who is good with his head, we could have simply supplied him with crosses for him to head it in, just like how we saw during the CWC tournament.

Rodrygo is always everything untill he plays, Alonso isn't stupid to leave him on the bench.

pu7pl3:
Gonzalo could come in too but don't say Rodrygo would have done nothing in that match. That match needed quick passing and alot of movement because of that suicidal low block and Rodrygo could offer that better than Vini.

We clearly lacked a presence in the box and we struggled because of that, even mbappe and guler clearly struggled to break the defence even tho they played well. I still insist that rodrygo wouldn't have done nothing because he does very little most time but people like you and some other Madrid fans simply believe he'll do better than Vini because he is shit on the RW.

pu7pl3:
I never believed there would be a time we'd be calling for Rodrygo to play over Vini. Sad to see this decline from him tbh.

Rodrygo won't have done anything in that game, people are now beginning to make him look like a God because he scored in the last game friendly game, meanwhile his stat this year has been horrible.

I don't have a problem with vini sitting on the bench, but Gonzalo should come in for him and play the number9 while mbappe plays the lwf

pu7pl3:
below average performance
Especially in the 2nd half.
Team needs to do better.

Positives were Mbappe and Huijsen.

Carreras and Franco too

We need Gonzalo in this attack

pu7pl3:
First training session for slim shady

Alonso really loves this guy, even Psg wanted to sign him before we snatched him from them.

I hope he performs well for us this season

We go again this season
