I don't know what to say, after the athletic match, I was speechless. Isco aside the whole team was terrible the whole year, Ancellotti keeps saying he is going to fix things, and still no reply. After the madrid derby, i thought things might change, but no shit happened. The 4-3-3 needs to stop. We need stop with all the crossing and possession style, we are only a threat at attacking and counter-attacks.

Out of form:-

Ronaldo: He lost his hunger and motivation after the club world cup, hate to say it, but selfish ronaldo is 10X better than now.

Bale: idk, one game he is amazing the second off the drain, yes, he starts to dribble more but hasn't made a huge impact in most games, hope he gets his form back.

Benzema: i feel like benzema only plays excellent when it comes to Barcelona, other than barca, he is just a typical normal striker, he has a weak finish, doesn't shoot a lot and barely dribbles, we need him to at least start to come back to the middle of the pitch to create counter-attacks

Kroos: He hasnt been in form nowadays, still better than bbc but we need his vision, hope modric comes back asap to keep kroos alive

In-form:-

Isco: the lad is just amazing, he has done way more than bbc in almost all the 2015 matches.

Varane: a solid rock at the back, he isn't the best young defender, he is one of the best defenders.

the other players haven't changed much but didn't go off-form at least.

I feel 4-4-2 is our option when modric and james aren't around, we will have a better defence and midfield.

GK: Casillas/Navas

Def: Carvajal----Varane----Pepe------Marcelo

Mid: Bale--Kroos---lucas---isco

Att: Benzema--Ronaldo

we i'd like to hear your thoughts and opinions of this, hope the best for madrid in the up-coming matches.

Hala Madrid!

Yeah, I fear Atletico a lot more than Bayern or Barca. The thing is, Bayern still have a ridiculously high line that is easy to pick apart (as shown by Wolfsburg). We beat Barca on aggregate in the league despite having Bale injured for the home game and James injured for the away game. But Atletico manage to counter us perfectly, so if we can somehow manage to beat Atletico, I'm pretty confident we will be able to go to the finals.

By the way, we are so much better with James back. James/Modric/Kroos combination is unbelievably good. The only sad part about this is Isco is left out, and I'm a huge fan of Isco. It's really not the poor lad's fault. The other three players are just better than him. Isco still has the potential to be the next Spanish superstar, so if he leaves our club, I hope that he gets a spot in the starting XI of whatever club he plays at.
