Haha you wish...
Mbappe out of form and in rape trouble is directly a problem for my team, which is the french NT.
You refusing to see the issue is not my problem however.

He has been fine on the pitch. Not great, but not bad either. Some flashes of brillance, some laziness. Am I expecting more? Sure. But it is a process.

The rape thing, now, that could be a MAJOR problem.

How is supposedly the best player in the world coming into an elite side a process. He’s supposed to own it. Instead he’s getting shown up by a grandpa

Your boy Messi sucked ass at PSG at first.

No matter how good the player, there is an adaptation period, especially since adding Mbappé to the squad changed a lot tactically. It is not plug and play. If the struggles are the same next season, then, we can start thinking he is a failure at Madrid. So far, he is producing rather well despite not playing his best. I am willing to be patient. Panicking now is useless.

I don't understand, there's a week left until the end of October and it seems quite normal to me that a team that fields, probably, the 3 strongest players in the world is trying to find a way to make them coexist together. Besides, Real's problems are more in midfield and defense.

Biggest problem is creativity from the midfield. Modric is the only one who brings it and it is not a coincidence that games change when he comes on. Too bad he is not 28 anymore.

My boy Messi was ripped from his childhood team and all he knew as a footballer and thrown into another team with little choice. He was also a lot older and not in his prime.

Mpabbe is supposedly at the top of his game to a team that he knew he was going to for months if not years. Totally different circumstances.

Anybody put in a new situation takes time to adjust. Mbappé took time to adjust to PSG (he was much younger).

As I said, too soon to panic.

And Mbappe had a rough form before joining too. He in a tough moment.
Hopefully he comes back to his best form. At least for france.

Yeah, I think there is something wrong with him mentally.

Speed is still there, skills are still there. Something is not fully clicking and it is weird. There is a lack of service from the midfield and Mbappé is yet to learn how to read Vini properly. These two still get in each other's way a little much. Vini is doing his best to be the creator though.

I remember some people here trashing Vinicius because he took some time to adapt to his new team and situation. We all know that turned out.

It's not like Mbappe came to camp out of shape like Hazard sending a signal that he got paid and no longer cared to act like a professional. He deserves the benefit of the doubt.

Rodrygo and Courtois apparently out of the Barca game on Saturday.

Courtois out is a massive blow. Even in the Celta and BVB games you could see how important he is for them.

I’m expecting Barcelona to win El Clasico, they have been playing better football than us this season

Marca says Jude isn't happy with Mbappe's arrival and him playing lower on the pitch.

Truth is, he's an 8 so he is where he should be.

Mbappe ruining Real is a perfect plan :D

Rayo with a huge win at home against Alaves (who are up to 5 consecutive losses, guess having no creativity in midfield wasn't a good idea this year huh?). They played for 70 minutes with 10 men but worked their way up to 7th in the league after this game.
