But Fans have been extremely patient with Zidane.
Even the media have not blamed him.

everyone has been blamed
Bale
James
Vinicius
Benzema
Isco
Marcelo
just name it

but never Zidane. the thing is there is always a limit to that tolerance. Sadly he has gone past that opportunity. Its too late to start wanting to rebuild. rebuilding will result in loosing matches. which makes it worse for him

if that was what he had been doing since the start of last season folks will understand but now doing it will make him look inept and incompetent.

pu7pl3:
out of all those players only James has proven himself...the rest are all shadows...Vinny on the other hand had all his confidence sucked out by God knows who so I think Zidane knew what he was doing in that dept

But he hasn't really rebuilt and yes I also think that's the main issue here

usbcable:
I dont blame him.

he was doing well at Sociedad.
it was obvious we needed improvement in the midfield last season and everyone was happy O was coming back.

we didnt know he was coming back OYO as Apari was not interested in having him.

he had Modric, Kroos and Isco.

usbcable:
Bale wasnt played even added to team list at times. It was an acrimonious relationship between the two.
Although I wish Bale was more professional as it would have helped him now.

But the fact that James is now doing well likewise Brahim, Jovic, Hakimi to mention a few speaks a lot about the personality of Zidane

usbcable:
we have great prospects but they are all regressing at the moment.

Asensio is a total shadow
Valverde is not as sharp as he was.
Vini is a joke at the moment.
Rodrygo will come back from injury and sit his sorry ass on the bench

pu7pl3:
Brahim Needed that loan just like Vinny needs it now...Jovic failed to impress..Hakimi wouldn't have taken over from Carvajal or Mendy

Those weren't odd departures like that of Ødegaard

pu7pl3:
[b]Isco was never a threat to Øde[b], that's why I'm more shocked..øde was ahead of Isco it was Modric Kroos and Valverde blocking him plus his injuries...øde's departure came as a shock cos you can't really lay the blame on anyone in his own case

pu7pl3:
Isco was never a threat to Øde, that's why I'm more shocked..øde was ahead of Isco it was Modric Kroos and Valverde blocking him plus his injuries...øde's departure came as a shock cos you can't really lay the blame on anyone in his own case

ALEXAPLAYME:
Jovic failed to impress ? Someone who hardly plays how TF will you expect him to perform

ALEXAPLAYME:
We all know zidane would rather Choose isco over Odegaard

ALEXAPLAYME:
stop Defending zidane

pu7pl3:
The minutes are there to prove you wrong..when both were fit Zidane played Øde more..Isco has always been behind him this season

pu7pl3:
66mins vs Mallorca
29mins Leganes
62mins Sevilla
20mins Leganes 1 goal
90mins Osasuna
68mins Villarreal
22mins Valladolid
77mins Brugge
83mins Valencia
83mins Atleti
73mins Zaragoza
59mins Shakhtar
58mins Valladolid
72mins Betis
*under 20mins excluded

Jovic had his opportunities to impress but he didn't take them both due to his off field issues and COVID-19 issues

Zidane did him no wrong

ALEXAPLAYME:
you're just a zidane fan boy..

pu7pl3:
You still don't get it

pu7pl3:
Zidane is better than Solari...Solari was a nightmare

Todays football is not just about incorporating youngsters.
you must win your matches ask Lampard. He played youngsters but kept loosing and got sacked.

The issue is Zidane not playing Youngsters when ist obvious we are trending into AC Milan Old Age saga.
And despite his obvious favoritism for certain players we kept loosing which does not justify his stupidity and/or stubbornness.

We desperately need rebuilding and he was the perfect person to do that without people raising much eyebrow.
2 season has gone by no sign of the team is being rebuilt and worse still we are playing like shit with thesame old heros we had.

He should just use the remaining matches of this season to give or playing time to hungry players and stop forcing us to watch hazards bumbum by force.

and YES we need a striker a new striker. Benzema is too late to be our saviour. Lets hope apari will realise that.

usbcable:
we lost a 7 points gap.

we lost the momentum they now have it.

Pray we dont fall below Sevilla and end up as fourth

pu7pl3:
Valverde, Rodrygo, Asensio(UCL exploits especially)

But your points remain valid...we were expecting an overhaul when Perez brought him back and we had the facilities for that but 2½ years down the road and we are even worse than when he arrived

ALEXAPLAYME:
you're just a zidane fan boy..

King2019:
Defending Zidane yet no results

So much tears and gnashing of teeth on this thread this evening

More tears for y'all please. Bring sweet sensations to my soul

ALEXAPLAYME:
Wrong

TheHulk616:
Asensio has improved

TheHulk616:
Solari brougt in new younger plyers and the resutl was good. E.g Llorente is playing better than Fraud hazard and Reguillon won europa league.
