AyeDubbleYoo Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 I understand why Moyes would want a fresh start, but the players must wonder why the hell they're now working with the coaching staff from a far inferior club. Imagine Phil Neville trying to coach RVP. Have you ever thought about a spell at fullback Robin? Pays to be versatile. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belfast Mags Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Rodgers strikes me as a genuine weirdo I honestly think he'll do well at Liverpool, I really do. He knows what he wants and he's building a team that can play in several different ways, if he can keep building, I reckon Liverpool could have a really good season, next season.

Village Idiot Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 They replayed an hilarious clip today of Bale and Cronaldo in the derby. Cronaldo goes to take a FK, Bale comes to whisper into his ear and Cronaldo nods. Then when the ref signals for the FK to be taken Bale makes a dashing run through the right - obviously expecting Cronaldo to pass it - but Cronaldo just smashes it over the goal.

Neil Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 What's been the reaction in Spain, VI? Is it more a condemnation of Real, or more of a "wow, Atletico might be the real deal"? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Village Idiot Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Lots of "Ancelotti is shit" with a smaaaaaall side of "Atlético are doing really well". But in this country the narrative will always be centered around the two greats. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 What, in particular, are the rags pointing at? The specific way they're playing? Team selection? Even if he completely fails with RM, I'll find it very, very hard not to still consider Ancelotti a great manager. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Village Idiot Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Finger is firmly pointed at Ancelotti right now, with some blame to players (Pepe mostly, but he's a favorite for finger-pointing given how hateable he is - even for RM fans).

Neil Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Looking back as well at their results so far, they were gifted 3 points at Elche due to one of the worst penalty decisions in years, should really have lost at Villarreal given how much they were 2nd best, and IIRC they only just scraped past Betis on the opening day? Can see why there are already murmurs about Ancelotti, at least in the sometimes psycho Spanish press. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Village Idiot Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Truth is that Ancelotti's narrow system is very ill-suited to the players they have, even the players they bought (hello Bale). Given that Carlo probably had fuck all say in recruitment it smells of Pérez going back to old ways after he tried letting a manager do his thing with Mourinho. Still early days, but I can't see RM clicking unless they change to another system. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdckelly Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 its still insane they spent €100m on Bale when they didn't need him. Pure Perez signing if ever there was one Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only watched one and a half, maybe two episodes, but I thought he was kind of odd from that sample size. Think he's a good manager, even if he's making some bizarre team decisions right now. I assume that will change when Johnson is fit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Snrub Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Bale was totally clueless when he got brought on. For all the La Liga is so much easier than the PL bullshit, his knocking the ball forward and sprinting hopefully to chase it didn't quite work out for him. He lacks the technical quality Ozil and even Modric have. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He lacks the technical quality Ozil and even Modric have. I've only seen bits, but my impression wasn't that he was technically deficient, more that he didn't seem aware of the tactical plan (if any). AVB had expressly designed our play after the first few weeks of the season to maximize his freedom, at the expense of others. That's clearly not going to happen at Real Madrid.

Problem with Bale is that he's too similar to Ronaldo, and they already have Ronaldo in their team. Their "partnership" isn't going to work at all, imho, and I fully expect one of them to be played upfront soon to give room to the other to make those runs while still having some on the ball creativity (Isco/Modric) behind the forwards.
