Real's midfield being poor again, defensively poor, offensively Isco has been really poor. They aren't playing fast enough, particularly on the break against a team that defends so well that is crucial but they keep giving up and passing backwards giving them more time to get back. Isco fluffed that one counter attack painfully poorly, the pathetic near the end of the half is what I expect poor players to make. He had a defender directly in front of him, anyone with half a brain at least feints one way, moves half a yard the other way and takes the shot, he just blasted it straight at the defender with 0.002% chance to score, it's what a player does when they are 100% out of ideas and he's barely tried anything before it. The pass to play Carvajal in to cross it and with a big margin of error he put it so close to the defender Carvajal had zero chance to get to the ball first.
I have no idea why people think Isco is great, in a lot of easier games he'll pick up a goal or two but he messes up so often even in those games. Games like this he's just kinda slow, easily marked. Isco seems like a guy who is always two yards too late to everything. Hell it was just after that counter he fluffed that Juve attacked then it was Isco who failed to track whoever it was that crossed it in to Higuain. Isco for Bale early in the second half for me. They need the pace and someone with a lot more strength height and power to cause problems in that defence.
Great finish by Mandy, though I do feel that Navas could have done better. The way Higuain put it to him, higher ball, and with two defenders goal side I instantly felt he was going to try to loop it in as it was his only real option. If Navas realised that and moved back to the line he'd probably have saved that.
