Needing miracles in added time... from a reserve player... against Leganes... is not encouraging.

It’s not

but if’s the first stoppage time game winner we have scored in a long time IIRC, if it helps us find that late game clutch mojo again, why not

Play like ass and win like you deserved it then celebrate like jackasses. It’s the Madrid way

I f***ing love Valencia can we play them weekly?

 

[les Habs]

I’m not going to have a big go at Flick for much of anything including his selection choices, especially as Fort got minutes (and had an excellent play late on I might add). Still, I think guys like Fort might start a match like this, or at the very least get on much sooner. I think he also needs to try and find some more minutes for Torre here and there.

Anyway, strong win again against Valencia.

Rayo lose 2 men to injuries inside 20 minutes at home against Valladolid. Only one sub window left...

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

What would their positional heatmaps look like, though? A bunch of these are stats that favour deeper midfielders.

(Obviously no knock on Neves, who is one of the best young midfielders in the game)

 

[Evilo]

IMO, Neves is already one of the MF in the game. Regardless of age.

Totally fair, doesn't answer my question about the stat comparison though

Also different quality of opposition

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Ones a forward ones a midfielder

True Neves has faced much better opposition in the CL and was wayyyy better than Jude.

No idea, haven't had a reason to watch PSG since Mbappe left. But Neves plays most of his games in Ligue 1.

Jude is a forward

Bayern loanee Aznou is a very dirty player. Should have had two penalties called against him and a red card but the ref is extremely lenient.

Rayo finally break the deadlock as De Frutos powers past the aforementioned Aznou and crosses to Alvaro who scores. Rayo are sixth and getting serious about Europe next year.

And dominates against CL competition.
PSG is much better since Mbappe left, as Enrique hinted.

Jude is a forward

No he's not. Spent most of this season in midfield.

Gonna start watching them for Dembele

Jude is a forward

You know nothing, Jon Snow.

Smart enough to come back from the dead.

Respectfully mate, are you maybe thinking of another player? I noticed with the box score today that he had significant minutes and so I had a look. I’ll be honest that I was online in the background, but I didn’t see anything dirty much less a red or penalties. Marion Martin, on that left side, did go in high on a Rayo player and then get straight up and kick a player from behind, but that wasn’t Aznou. What Aznou was guilty of was some woeful defending including on the goal where he completely misread the play. Based on that performance I assume the manager won’t be rushing to start him.

 

[luiginb]

Two body checks in the box that the ref ignored, and an awful sliding challenge that was at least worthy of an orange, he received a yellow card for it.

LE: Scratch that, the body checks were from the left midfielder, Anuar. Got them mixed up

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Anyone but real. So go Simeone and clowns

We are gonna get rekt today
