We lost that game that wasn’t a draw. Vini needs to see the inside of a bench for a while cuz wtf was that. Joselu wastes too many chances. Rodrygo and Vini have been so weak this season I understand it’s a new formation for them but fucking hell at least try to get a grip.
Carlo before the game: “Arda Guler needs minutes”.
Carlo during the game: “Arda Guler? Never heard of him.”
I made a post saying Carlo should try benching Vinicius for a little while but was crucified and my post was removed so i guess ill state my opinion here. Unless thats also forbidden of course.
​
edit: Bro why am i being downvoted everywhere what is this lmao im just saying what everyone else is also saying
If this game didn’t prove we need a proper #9 idk what will
I can’t fucking believe the shit I’m reading right now, people are really saying we should bench Vini and that he’s overrated
I honestly think that maybe the praise they received before has gotten to Vinicius and Rodrygos heads. It is unacceptable that our two main forwards can’t score to save their lives and still feel so safe in their positions (that’s Ancelotti to blame) But it’s not just the scoresheet it’s also the attitude they have during games. How many balls did Vini lose today? How many games has Rodrygo played without any G/A? I honestly don’t think it’s an overreaction when this is a repetitive pattern this season, this is when our coach needs to intervene because we all know they’re talented but they really need to focus on the team
Tonight’s result aside, I’m glad that Arda was in the squad. He didn’t play tonight, but hopefully we’ll see him in the next matches to come.
Wtf Rudiger is doing? Also why Vini plays like he never played football before?
#THIS SUB IS LIKE A CIVIL WAR.
#YOU GOT PEOPLE FIGHTING VINNIE FOR BEING A DIVA
#PEOPLE BLAMING JOSELU FOR MISSING ALL THOSE CHANCES
#CALLING FOR FEDES HEAD FOR MISSING THAT ONE CHANCE
#BLAMING RODRYGO FOR NOT DOING SHIT
#BLAMING CARLO FOR NOT MAKING CHANGES
#I AGREE WITH EVERYONE. FUCK THIS GAME AND FUCK CARLO.
this sub be like: “yeah we don’t need mbappe, we’re fine with vini and his one trick pony” y’all gotta lose that pride
4 takeaways:
1: These are the must-win games if we want to win the league. We can’t afford to keep dropping points like this.
2: Vini has to see the bench for a while. No one should be a guaranteed starter if you don’t perform.
3: There was no reason to not sign Kane (at least on loan).
4: Poor subs again from Carlo. He brought on Rodrygo, who has been inconsistent, and then brings on Kroos and Nacho. We needed support in attack. Why not Guler or Brahim?
Ridiculous A very serious problem of lack of intelligence and IQ
Our players added together don’t amount even half a neuron They still don’t understand this type of shithousery games where the only thing that matters is being cold and lethal in the chances you have. Growing sick of this lack of intelligence
85th minute in a tied game and you need attackers but he brings on Nacho…
Perez really did fuck this season by not getting Harry Kane.
Again let’s all remember that the board seriously decided to start the season with Joselu as our only striker. This is completely on them and on Perez.
Vini has absolutely went back as far as progressing as a player. Reminds me of his first two years where he would lost possession, no control, and no discipline.
Underwhelming match, vinicius has become a curse, Same for Rodrygo we can’t be dominant team while having these 2 Brazilian kids. In the attack, one is whining and cry alot, and the other can’t handle 1v1 duels.
Bellingham has saved us so many times that we can’t rely on him forever, but what’s the excuse for these 2 Brazilian kids? And why carlo doesn’t give brahim more minutes, Rodrygo has done nothing to earn his spot.
We will witness torture football until 2028 since these Brazilian kids renewed their contract godsaveusall.
Keeping that bitching Karen on the left flank for the whole match paid off for Rayo not RM.
He didn’t have any shit to do except useless showboating or yelling and bitching here and there.
So typical of us to win El Clasico then drop points the following match. Happens far too often. Extremely disappointing and ridiculous.
My only thoughts on this game fuck the board for not buying Kane and bring Ronaldo or Benz back in the January window. This team should be competing for a treble but bc we’re using two touchline wingers as STs we probably wont win shit.
Carlo needs to go. We needed attackers and he takes out Camavinga and brings in a CB smh and either Vini lost a step or that unknown defender is faster than Vini.
The lack of a quality goal scorer is going to doom us when it gets to the buisness end of the season but hopefully adding that to the team is going to make us unstoppable because these midfileders are fucking awsome.
We’ve got some serious warriors out there, the suits at the club should get all the shit for any results like this when we don’t deserve to drop points, allowing the club to go into a season with Joselu as the only recognised striker in the team was a monumental fuck up.
Jude isn’t a striker and neither are Vini and Rodrygo, it isn’t just the goals that a striker would bring that we are missing but how these players can operate when a quality one is out there with them.
Alaba has been woeful this entire season. He keeps crying that he only wants to play CB but goes forward too much and leaves the defense short
Finishing was god awful, way too many chances were wasted, without our good defense this might’ve been a loss.
Vini and Rodrygo need to step up, I became a Real fan this year so idk how it was before but this aint it.
Also not feeling Joselu, he interrupted some chances and tried to do it himself a lot.
For the angry turks and Arda fans in general, calm down, I wanted him in the game too but you can’t expect this kid to comeback to a game this intense.
What is clear is that we need a striker and a RW. People can trash on Vini, but he still creates and threatens the most. I think he lacks a player to play off with like he used to with Benzema. Joselu obviously isn’t that player
damn this community is just a bunch of lil kids crying
My theory why Vini regressed is because he has no one like Benzema to tell him what to do.
Been saying that Dimitrievski is the most underrated goalkeeper in the world rn. Our attack didn’t make it tough for him tbf, but I rated him higher than Kepa when Courtois got injured
Vini need to understand there is time to run, time to pass, time to dribble, time to shoot. He doesn’t have to dribble everytime ,It is 90+3 minutes and the guy is trying to dribble past 4 players when he could just pass the ball.
I wish endrick was here
If you remove Bellingham goals this season, we would be mid/bottom of the league team.
No idea wth we are doing this year.
I like Vini a lot, and I am gratefull for what he did for the team before his injury, but at the moment he got his mind on the wrong place, probably because he is tired of always getting cussed out by every team he plays against, and also suffering from refs unfairness. I feel like he just wants to prove people wrong more than anything else now, and that is being the reason for his bad performances. He needs to chill out.
Serious question why are Vinicius and Rodrigo so bad? I’m a Barca fan but Vinicius looked like a shell of himself in el clasico and so did Rodrygo, without sounding biased at all it really does seem like the only thing saving you guys is Bellingham and his miraculous positioning
Tired of vinicius and his fucking shitty attitude and antics on the field. The club seriously needs to get involved and make him grow the fuck up he is wasting too much time and gets rattled to quick. He is not even 1% of what ronaldo was to have such an ego.
Rodrygo got renewed we got 5 more years of wasteful play from him.
80′ Arda Güler for Valverde would have been interesting.
Please bench Vini for a bit. The only way to get him to sort his fucking head out. I can’t keep watching 90 mins of us losing possession or making terrible decisions. It’s become bad for my health, quickly 😂
Man just give me Kubo or any RW with an ST and let’s go back to 433 fuck this whole diamond shit.
The team is very lacking in 4 positions, ST/RW/LB/CB
& it will take 2/3 summer transfer windows & a trophyless & embarrassing season for them to get addressed
For those making excuses for Vini playing in a “new system” (pro tip: he’s not the only one in the team adjusting), how does that factor in to not passing to open team mates, holding the ball and killing plays/being dispossessed?
Vini need to be locked in from the start of the game when he is locked in he is dangerous and he create chances we are still orphan on the right wing we need a player there and of course a real striker Joselu is not it with all due respect but for now it’s better than rodrygo imo.
Very frustrating game to watch yes ref was terrible but we had chances that should’ve went in so what can i say if this team is serious some players need to step up and quick because this Bellingham bailing us out thing isn’t gonna last forever.
Álvaro Rodríguez have we seen him after the Madrid derby makes no sense how we have no one we can use
One thing about Rodrygo this season is when he get the ball he just want to dribble the whole players and even the fans
Carlo needs to have a serious long discussion with Vini. I feel for the guy, but he’s getting drawn into all this extra nonsense and losing focus on his game which is ECACTLY what opposing teams are hoping he will do. Because a focused Vini is a beast.
We need to start getting Güler some minutes asap. It’s sink or swim time and we need someone who can create and take some of the burden off Jude.
Honestly if we go trophy less I think it’s on Perez. You can’t lose a 20-30 goal a season all time Madrid legend and think Joselu is gonna be enough. We have to bring in a world class forward this summer, whether it be Mbappe, Alvarez, or somebody else. It’s clear we won’t be able to beat the Man City’s and Bayern’s of the world without attacking reinforcements.
last 20 minutes of the match were a shitshow as most matches seem to be now.
i don’t think we deserved to draw, obviously this wasn’t the best match ever but it still wasn’t horrible. ucl match against braga was worse and we still won that, which is something.
the thing with vini is that he’s now stuck in a vicious cycle of always worrying about how the rivals are gonna violently tackle him/how the refs are gonna Not React because there’s a history of rivals violently tackling him/refs Not Reacting which ends up causing more violent tackles/Non Reactions. he needs serious help to cope with that because rivals are not just gonna stop doing something that works at breaking him down just because it’s bad. just a very unfortunate situation.
refereeing wasn’t as egregious as it was against sevilla, but there’s no denying some of the decisions taken and some of the ones that weren’t even considered are odd. i’ve heard of spanish madridista youtubers saying the competition should’ve stopped all together once negreira stuff started coming out and i’m honestly seeing their pov more and more now. there’s just so much tension in most matches… some refs could be straight ass at their job but we can’t even know that for sure because the thought of them being bought is always gonna be the main possibility now.
just very rancid vibes
Vini is not gonna be any smarter in the future, he is fucking dumb. Would sell him next summer along with his buddy, rodrygo
Please keep playing Rodrygo for a player to perform you need to play him forever even if he’s ass. It’s the only way, fuck Arda and Brahim, hell fuck Valverde.
PS: I like how this sub says Brahim is actually ass and isn’t who we think he is but with Rodrygo we can see it every game.
We’re one Bellingham injury away from becoming a mid table team. I swear
