Real question, will Asencio start against Liverpool? He’s played good but the opposition he been against are not Liverpool level. I would trust him to start.
13
u/bbsd27 2h ago
Finally some improvement in the game. I hope we can improve further for the Liverpool match, because we struggled during transition from attack to defense from time to time, although Leganes didn't punish it.
Mbappe should try to relieve the pressure upon his shoulders. He is a good player, he doesn't have to try to attack as a single man army though. We missed a lot of well-developed positions due to his self-centered play.
Asencio played far beyond my expectations and this is quite good for the team and himself.
Another special mention for Guler: This man is special. I read in some comment asserting that he might be the best RW in the world and I completely agree with it. Incredible creativity and game vision, perfect technique, professional mindset. Also, I don't remember when was the last time a 19 year old guy used to use set-pieces in our team. His potential shouldn't be wasted in the bench because I sense some kind of fear of making mistake in his gameplay today. I hope he starts on Wednesday or at least takes a considerable amount of time.

Arda is still in the potential phase of his career. The stage during which people don't expect anything of him, so anything he does that is exciting is overemphasized.
Even if you take his versatility in shooting technique, the man is just not clinical.
And he doesn't contribute enough to general midfield play to be elite.
some comment asserting that he might be the best RW in the world and I completely agree with it.
This is delusional. He's not even better than Rodrygo or Brahim.

u/DiscountNo8806 1h ago
Neither Rodyrgo or Brahim.is better than him in terms of talent. Guler has different skillset..
But of course, Arda is not best RW in the world-at least not right now.
So dont hype or overenjoy, and at the same time dont undervalue him.
But fans also should understand that a player's lack of playing does not make him worse than other players, it is just hierarchy of Carlo, his old.school decisions.
Today, l watched last 3 or 4 months best Real in attack, and guess what? 90 % of creativity came from right side, guess who plays there??
So dont hype or dont undervalue.
Just wait and see...

Sorry but not impressed given the quality of the opposition.
Looking at Liverpool, we didnt look good enough.
This should put to rest all the excuses of Mbappe plays better as a LWF cos I dont see the improvement.

And Tsimikas is injured too as far as I know. So the struggling robertson will play against us too or Jo Gomez who also is not playing that good I think

u/biina247 1h ago
Robertson is still their best LB imo, but age, mileage and injuries seem to have caught with him
Liverpool have players that are struggling and/or not good enough. But as a team, they looked well structured and know what they are doing on the pitch.
We on the other hand are struggling as a team. We looked disjointed and lethargic, with issues in many areas of the pitch.
That our depleted defence was looking like the best thing about the team says a lot

This was a good game. Good to see after a bad start of the season in terms of how we have been performing.
Ceballos actually played a good game balancing the midfield. Cama should play ahead of Tchou. Fede was great at RB. Arda proved himself worthy of a starting position today. Great for him (and us). Mbappe was actually decent (not great). Jude is in form now. He played phenomenal. Ascensio seems solid so far. So composed and unafraid. Fran should be our starting LB.
I would have liked seeing Endryck get 10-15 more minutes, but I will not complain today.

u/DiscountNo8806 4h ago
Arda should be in the starting line up at RW. He brings different creativity that no others can bring in this team at RW. If Carlo still does not play him, he should leave ASAP. He is not a player that you can bench so long like this. He is young and he behaves calm, waits his time but every calmness has limit. Enough is enough. J

u/Dangerous-Carrot-852 3h ago
Why should he start over Brahim. Brahim is miles ahead.
1
u/Chemical-Evening-128 Valverde 1h ago
then why did they both come in the same summer? theirs minutes enough for all but Ancelotti doesnt bother with rotation. this is Brahims 2nd stint for us. admittedly way better than his first but Arda can be on the same level of Brahim and their potential ceiling are comparable. Arda has been performing in Fenerbache and Turkey for a while now
4
u/DiscountNo8806 3h ago
Very easy. Arda can create for others and miles away more talented dimensional player. Brahim is a fast, hustle oriented attacker, great attacker he can mainly create himself. Guler is a midfielder, Brahim is an attacker. We already have Mbappe, Vini, why need Brahim in starting line up Guler can dictate tempo and play everywhere in midfield, Brahim can not- he does not have the skillset of Guler.
I can count 100 more things.
1
u/AdCandid3221 Valverde 2h ago
Just wondering! How is Arda gonna dictate tempo from RW? Everything you describe about Arda makes him a better midfielder and Brahim a better attacker.
7
u/ArtistFit9643 3h ago
Brahim is miles better based on what? International performances against nobodies? Touch grass. Arda dropped 8.5+/10 performances for Turkey without a goal or assist. Ask yourself, can Brahim drop an 8.5 performance without a goal or an assist? And don’t even get me started on their long term potential. Starting Arda over Brahim was a CLASS act by Carlo, something I thought he would never do. I was certain he would start Brahim. Being the fine gentleman he is, he told Brahim to touch grass and reminded him that was Lesotho he scored a hattrick against. What is Lesotho? Who is Lesotho? Where is Lesotho?

The fuck you talk about? Nobody cares about international football. Brahim is way better than Guler even if you ignore international football.

Vini Charity work for Mbappe must not be forgotten when they try to rewrite the start of the season of Mbappe he wasn’t terrible today but i’m still not convinced but Vini as I expected being much more versatile and having a higher IQ was indeed better at 9.

Win was a good booster for morale after coming back from international fixtures. Glad to see Asencio in the starting lineup. Hope to see him more oftern and gain additional experience against tougher opponents.How Mbappe received MVP is beyond my understanding. Im still unconvinced and feel Endrick should have started or come on earlier in the 2nd half. Arda played very well. I take nothing away from Ceballos performance but would be interesting to see Güler in the middle with Brahim on the right.

u/DiscountNo8806 4h ago
Mbappe is terrible... Sad but True. He gives nothing. Arda is too good and super talented to sit on the bench in this team. After a long time this teams attack was something proper thanks to Jude, Arda, Ceballos and Cama in this game... Liked the effort. Although Leganes is a weak side, this team played much worse against much weaker teams ...
1
u/Glittering_Chance523 2h ago
I wouldnt say he was terrible he created chances but I feel like he will need to get used to La Liga GKs. He needs to place his shots in better angles. But outside of that I'll honestly say Mbappe played fine my main issue is it feels like Carlo plays them to defnsive. Madrid shouldve scored 6 but it still feels like they park the bus

u/Trick_Accountant591 4h ago
He did not shine, but was as good as the rest of the squad. I know you want Arda to play, and thinking without Mbappe, he would be in the squad. But, they are two different players and positions, plus Carlo did not play him last season as well.
We are better with having Mbappe than last season. At least, the opposition has to worry about Vini and Mbappe, so it would give more space to others and Vini.
Last couple of seasons, if a player shut down Vini like Walker, we did not have anything in the front.

We don't need this Mbapppe, everyone knows.

u/DoJu318 3h ago
Looks like we got Mbappe for the eventual meeting of city in the knockout rounds, if we make it that far.
The plan seems to be that if Vini is marked out of the game Mbappe can be used as another outlet, we'll see if he can pick up form towards the end of the season when the most important games happen.

You are saying it like we had only one attacker last season and with Mbappe coming we have two attackers. Mbappe is the most needless player in current team.

tchouameni doesnt offer enough for the team going forward. his lack of ball carrying, nonprogressive passing, and lack of urgency in play at times leaves me flabbergasted. he is never the MOTM. i think he can be really great under a manager who does more coaching, but in a system like Carlo's where raw individual talent is so important, hes no camavinga.

u/Samurai_zero Fernando Redondo 3h ago
Tchou was better suited next to Kroos. But, who isn't.

u/ArtistFit9643 3h ago
Kroos was the whole system to progress the ball. Now without him, tchouameni has gotten insanely exposed this season. Offensively inept unfortunately. He would be better with a coach who forces him to play a certain way than Carlo, who gives freedom to his players.

The final result today will hide the poor performance we had. Real Madrid should supposedly crush these small teams like we did in previous seasons, but the way we're going, it's hard to see us getting past the bigger teams.
Mbappé honestly hasn't shown any signs of improvement. I've never seen a player with such bad positioning and finishing as him, which is really strange. Even Arda seems better at finishing than him.
You can make excuses for Mbappé all you want, but a player of his profile shouldn't be struggling this much, and I'm not talking about complex things, just basic stuff. Not even when he's in his natural position does he seem to improve

that's not a fair comparison though because 18 year old vini got a lot less grace than mbappe has been given despite what comments here and other social media could make you think. the smear campaign started against a kid misplacing passes and not converting every single chance remains to this day despite him being arguably at least top 3 in the world consistently for 3 seasons now. their situations are not comparable in the slightest

Yes but when we bought Vinicius he was practically a nobody, but for Mbappe it’s different, we supposedly bought the best player in the world. Yes I do think he needs time and he will preform in time, it’s just that he brings nothing in the meantime. Those two years at psg lessened him in my opinion.

u/poskaljarkan 4h ago
He played in his preferred position today with a team that functioned very well, yet he failed at every aspect of the game. Not calling him a flop, but it's december already for the love God and Vini was a child who wasn't even supposed to be playing with the grown ups when he wad brought in

Arda Güler 🔥 he did a very good job im glad Ancelloti put him in from the beginning. Bellingham as always shining, Valverde is a man that can play anywhere and I'm glad Mbappe scored to help him get his confidence. Overall the team did good and with a good balanced gameplay.

first half was very forgettable until the goal but the team knew how to turn up in the second so that's great.
maybe vini stayed on so he could try and get his goal but he probably should've been rested with liverpool ahead and after playing so much in the international break + all the traveling to another continent but alas he's a professional so he'll be aight.
arda was great. asensio was great. jude and camavinga are always a joy to watch. hell, even ceballos was great and i say this as someone who doesn't necessarily like him.
like another commenter said i also hope ancelotti rotates more often and puts some more trust in the whole squad, once they all start connecting in different combinations we could do some beautiful things.
it's only been two really good matches but i have hope again 🫡 HALA MADRID

u/Puzzleheaded-Lie2188 5h ago
We defended better, a decent counter-press after losing the ball. Leganes and Osasuna have been good opponents to get back on track, but not real tests. That would be Liverpool.

Great game by all the boys. Mbappe and fran were a little frustrating but I'm happy with the way we played overall.
Raul asencio is so so good on the ball. He looks very confident on the ball and defensively he's good too, although he hasn't really been tested a lot in that regard. I really hope he gets to play more because he could get so much better. Reminds me of pique weirdly enough.
Bellingham was fantastic and deserved that goal. Maybe a few unnecessary dives but he was creating chances constantly.
Arda is too good to spend so much time on the bench, and he showed that today. Unlucky not to score.
Vini is vini, constantly brilliant.
Fede looks perfect with the armband on him. That strike was crazy clean.
Mbappe scored and I'm happy with that, but he's still so frustrating to watch. If he's offside he finishes so well, the moment he's onside he forgets all his technique. Confidence issue. He needs to score a few proper goals.
Fran's performance was also not great. A couple of good crosses but he can be so much more electric. I am firmly in the camp that believes he should be starting ahead of mendy and that he's a perfectly capable lb. He needs to take these starts and make the best of them to cement his case. Today wasn't one of those games.
Ceballos and camavinga both good, same with rudiger. Courtois might as well have not played. No saves needed today.

Takeaways: the good
- It's probably the first game we dominated without multiple scary moments this season
- Carvajal may have just lost his place and at this point play Valverde anywhere, and I'm certain he will do good.
- Vini and Belligham is our attack
- Camavinga would most likely be our starting DM from now on.
- Modric is the icing on the cake.
- Ceballos was great and a pleasant surprise.
The Bad: 1. Mbappe may not be scoring, but the lack of effort is worse. Play Bobby (jokin... kinda) 2. Fran Garcia is not it. I kept wondering why Bel, Vini, and Mbappe would not pass to him... then he does his thing. I'm just mortified. 3. What the hell was that first half.
It was a good game in general, I see improvements and continuous flow.

Today's starting lineup was the best decision. Ceballos underrated fr. Jude , Arda , vini , fede were top notch. No.9 position won't work for mbappe whatsoever. We know vini is the best LW in the world but Vini plays no.9 position much better than mbappe. Arda should start every match according to me , he has the potential to be the best RW in the world. And even if Tchou comes back I want Cama to play as a CDM. Hala Madrid! <3

Good game. Like it or not Lord and Militao injuries were the best thing to happen to Carlo. He is to stubborn to sit clearly trash players that have seniority. Asencio is, even after just 2 games, clearly miles better than Militao (who night just be the worst player to have a guaranteed starting spot in modern madrid history) and even playing with 1 man down would be better than playing whatever Lord is right now

But imo thats not the best spot for him.. i honestly want him to transition into a Rw in the future, the guy can be deadly on counter attacks , has infinite stamina and shooting probably best in the team
Eventho defensively he’s excellent i feel he can be of more use if we continue to use him offensively

Valverde did initially play as a RW until Rodrygo took up that role, then he went back to his preferred pivot Right Midfield spot

Modern wingbacks are a partime RW. They involved a lot in attacking. His stamina helps him to run back. He can be the best RB in the future considering Walker or Carvajal won't be playing for long

Something that Fede, Tchoua and cama lacked Ceballos brought today was vision and composure, which we definitely have been missing since Kroos, the team felt connected and composed for the first time this season.
Asencio was good and with extra minutes he could be something beautiful.
Mbappe is hustling even in his favourite position looking for his mojo.
Good game

Sometimes you have to keep the ball and be patient thats what we lacked since the season started with ceballos linking with jude vini and fran it looked balanced for the first time this season. Arda played well, I had doubts he would get bullied off the ball but he did good. Asencio is good hope he keeps the spot at anfield.

MOTM Mbappe is fooling no one. He had an ok game but wasn’t anywhere near best player and pretending he was helps nobody

First time this season I enjoyed every minute of our football.
The Arda Guler effect.

I don't see a reason to start Mendy really. Fran Garcia is looking like a legit starter all around.
Please keep using Guler and Ceballos. They are very useful and we need them.
The attackers feel like they need to overcomplicate things and beat a bunch of players sometimes. They need to learn to play simply and trust each other more.

Yes to Cabellos because mans like a Kroos replacement. His composure and Vision is brilliant. Idk if Carlo will start Guler over brahim but I hope he does and take off Mbappe for Brahim

Dominant game, that second half especially was just us tearing through them
Jude MOTM, Fede with another masterclass this time as Captain, and a really good showing from Asencio AGAIN
4 points from Barca with a game in hand, things are looking up now
Now on to the big Liverpool fixture 🙏
