Torres is making his 2nd AM debut tonight v RM.
There's been a lot of pressure put on him & I just hope he does reasonably well for them otherwise it could break him as a person.
 
Moyes carries on his ultra conservative and boring style change at Sociedad, away in the cup Sociedad managed 3 shots, none on target in the whole game, I think it may have been no shots in the first half at all. Lost 1-0 to a decent team for sure but god damned, his playing for a draw mentality is shining through, unfortunately. LIke I said without the lucky early own goal against Barca he would likely have played the same ultra conservative, ultra defensive, go for a point tactics and certainly not have won the game.

He's going to ruin the attack and probably Vela/Canales before getting fired end of season(I hope).


Real vs AM, not brilliant so far but certainly quite fiesty, could have been a red or two already.
 
First goal was awesome football as well.

edit: I don't watch a lot of Real apart from the classicos / games v Atletico but I've heard Bale is really greedy from other sources too. Admittedly somewhat ironic considered Ronaldo seemed to break his pass button years ago...
 
ASide from Ronaldo putting in a great pass to set up the first goal and being the highest assister in the team this season, truly selfish.

His job is to be the main goal scorer, that involves shooting more than anyone else. PUt it this way, if he took 100 less shots a season and 1-2 other players took 100 more shots in total the team would do worse. The best goal scorer shooting a lot when he's a better goal scorer isn't selfish.

But that said, he has loads of assists and puts chance after chance on the plate for other players, again most of them are less good and so he doesn't get as many assists as say when Ozil was making the passes to Ronaldo, reverse it and Ronaldo making the same number of chances for Ozil wouldn't result in nearly the same number of goals for the team nor assists for the player.

As for the angry at lack of passes thing, it's pretty much daily mail style gossip. Most players throw their arms up in frustration when the square pass will create a tap in and a player shoots from a bad angle and the team don't score, but because Ronaldo did it everyone has to make a big deal about it?

EDIT:- he has 9 assists, Kroos(who takes most corners) and Benzema have 7, Bale has 3.

As always, 50/50 for me. The team obviously showed character coming back from 2-0 down. Then again, a big team can't not show up for ~30 minutes and hope to win the game. Also, once again, Juve have a chance to lose some points and we don't take the chance fully.
