Do You think it's over for Real Madrid this year ?!?

i got to the pub late so i was only able to watch the second half, at halftime they showed the highlights of the first half and as always real dominated posession, dominated the tempo, passed well with little one/twos all over the pitch but they lacked a consistancy in the final third (christ listen to me i sound like a sports anlist). but their main problem i think is too much of a dependency on starting benzema. Benzema cant seem to put two passes together and cr9 and kaka try to play off of him too much for my liking. he would fit better on the wing with 4-3-3 formation of him and ronaldo out wide and higuain or raul as central because benzema doesnt have the vision or experience to create anything in the middle of the 18y box.

once raul came in in the 80th min things looked instantly livelier upfront for real because raul is not a passer he is an opportunist and opportunity was one thing that real did not lack last night. it was an overall good defensive performance by bilboa sticking 8 men behind the ball not including the keeper.

the only thing that work out for them was that they took their opportunities when they came.real are trying to do too much with too little. ramos didnt come forward as much as usual so and albiol was useless so essentially we had 4 in the back but real were still playing with an 'attack,attack' mentality every time they touched the ball.

raul should have started raul and gutti should have come in for alonso right after the half and marcelo should have stayed on because what he lacks in power he makes up by being a nuiscance on the left.but dont worry i see an improvement from them every game so by end of march i predict they WILL lead la liga

There is no way that Real Madrid should be considered a team in progress after the amount of money they have spent this summer. I think that they haven't really learned anything from the Galactico era. Just because a player is a star for one team, it doesn't necessarily mean that he will become a star for another. Real simply waved their huge cheque book around and signed all the biggest names that were available (bar Ibra). That does not make a team, and it never will. Look to Barcelona and Manchester United for examples on how to build a team.

Barce has always had it, Madrid were there just for a fight. But u can't exactly blame Madrid for not taking anything out this year as they have a very new squad who doesn't have the right chemistry just yet. The team is incredibly strong and i think next season they will be even bigger threats.

see there is Cr9 Benzema Kaka they r all fantastic players with gud speed n ball control but the problem is dat they dont have an experience of playin with each other this year wont produce gud results bt wait and watch the golden era will b repeated . so guess this year they will reach the finals of champions league, may win it, gud chance of winnin copa del ray or kings cup and second place in laliga

This year was never Real's year as they need to develop their chemistry together, and with a few more addidtions they should be fine next year and for years to come.

They'll be there or there about's come the end of the season yesterdays game was just a blip!

Not yet, we're not even on the half of the season....

They would win NOTHING this season !!!!
