Interesting, article says that Robben runs by digging his heels in which in turn creates too much tension in his muscles when he flexes the leg. This blows out his back, which in turn puts too much strain on the back of his thighs - which causes the injuries as it seems. Anyway Di Salvo and the team are working on it to get him to run more proper most of the time if they can't corret it all the way so that way it will help the injuries to come down and let him play longer for us. Article also says that noone at Chelsea figured this out about Robben. Man lets hope it's true and that they can fix him because he is a fantastic player when fit.

 

[Jaouadinho]

Good news pepe and robihno and Saviola are all starting to train on the field again....I believe for the Roma game they will all be available....YES!!

yeh great news about Pepe and Robinho, if they come back we can field our strongest 11.

it will be intresting who schuster drops?
personally id go for 4 4 2 or 4 3 3 but with 2 wingers like robinho and robben.

 

[KingPaulV]

confirmed lineup

casillas

ramos canna heinze torres
gago
baptista robben
guti
rudd raul

 

[KingPaulV]

well 0-0 HT Getafe did not come to play, they are playing a classic cattennaccio, that and the fact that we need a spark on offense we are too predictable.....

 

[Jaouadinho]

iam getting sick of this ****.

the players need to ******* wake up except for a few exceptions, most of them looked disentrested and a sleep out there they need a good ******* kick up the arse, this is unexceptable.

we looked average out there tonight no one had that desire to win and they thought they can just go out there and not work hard enough and still ******* win.

 

[Arnau]

gago dont have level for play in la liga, and raul never can come back to national team please. diarra must play. madrid need more good midfielers because guti is a bulgar irregular player and dont have more creative players.

"what goes around comes around" o "quien hierro mata hierro muere" ahi tienen los madridistas su propio cagometro al que tanto acusaban al barcelona con tal de desestabilizar.

bye. i love you

 

[KingPaulV]

Its ok Arnau, the table still says we are ahead, a rut dont last forever that's why its called a rut......anyway about the game....

I was very upset thus i was unable to post a promp reply....now i am calm and actually in a great mood...

so yeah the most absurb goal in the history of the Bernabeu I am sure of that....other than that we lack serious spark without a little Brazilian named Robihno, its kind of sad how unimaginative we look without him.....well there's really not much more to say about this game we needed to come out and win and we didnt...end of story...

 

[Arnau]

but robinho was playing well because the team was on fire, but now ? its going to be like raul and RVN .....

arnau keep the glowting in our thread dude.....

and yeah , now you realize how dependant you are of you star players like we are, you guys missed RVN and he is still to get in his form, you guys are missing so much robinho and even pepe, once you guys get them back, maybe you get the mojo back.... to bad guti and cannavaro got injured right?....

and madrid are still 2 points clear.... but i wouldnt imagine not in a hundred years that we would be this close so soon.... this is so unexpected, and i love it.

btw that inocentada by madrid was very weird indeed, dont know if the ref put his flag up to late that the players didnt notice it or what.... but you gotta give credit to belenguer, major "colmillo".

 

[justhammy]

Credit for Getafe. No doubt. But the referee should have used his wissle. He should NEVER have let that counter begin, because he had made a big mistake before it. Raul was offside, the was no flag up (and if it was NO ONE saw it and the ref didnt react to it) then he gave the ball to Robben, still now clue of any referee...then Robben scored, celebrated and then out of nothing he just stood there. No one heard anything, no one saw anything. And Getafe got away. At that time, when he made 2 mistakes after each other, he should have blown his wistle. This should be no excuse for our bad play, but this one is really for the ref to think about. We should have scored ofcourse, but the man has cost us the game for sure. 9 points, easiest month of La Liga...WE F*CKED UP! And we did it VERY VERY badly. I think we are f*cked. Barca will catch up by 2 games and will go on to win la liga. This is just to bad to recover.

Btw, Arnau....stfu please. Gago is one of the best players in the RM squad. He is pure class. You really know how to pick m do you?! You just picked one of the best DMs in Spain to call bad.

 

[newbie original]

MY how the mighty have fallen.......

It seemed like a done deal a few weeks ago.

...9 points, easiest month of La Liga......

Exactly!

For the record, robihno was playing great because he was, he grew mentally and it showed on the field...and yes, a shame now that guti and canna are injured, to be honest the effect that injuries have played in our squad this year has been greatly underlooked, because we were winning but now the durability of the entire squad is going to be called into question...


also that goal, it just made me so mad, in 90% os situations the refeere would have made sure the indications where a lot more clearer to let everybody know there was no goal, but really that's no excuse these guys are pro's even I would have known to watch the ref after the score....

I still believe in our squad althought if we keep racking up injuries it is going to be very hard specially since Barca seem to have found the confidence back and San Messi in on his element once again.....tough days ahead my dear Madridistas, but lets keep our head on high and believe in our team!
Hala Madrid!

 

[Socrates]

Very bad ref and very bad act by Getafe as well, I mean what the hell. Sometimes the refs in la liga really piss me off, wait most of the time they do. Anyway take out their goal and we were still quite crappy here are the things that need to happen

Break up the Ruud and Raul partnership, it's not working. Robben-X-Robinho is how we should play our frontline.
Guti needs to be dropped, too ******* inconsistent.
Robinho needs to come back asap, he is our C. Ronaldo, because he comes up when it's needed.
Pepe needs to come back now as well, these injuries are really killing us.
Gago is good enough for el liga and Madrid, has IMO looked better than Diarra.
We also need to start attacking the wings instead of just trying to go up the middle for attacks, Robben was getting frustrated because he was wide open at times and was not getting the ball due to the midfield being so congested. Teams are starting to figure out that we attack too much down the middle which is another reason to break up the Ruud/Raul partnership.

Man were dropping faster than Barca was , it's good that we still have that 2 point lead and the el clasico is at home too. Let's hope we can break this with a win because Barca is gonna rape our city rivals next week who are sucking ass at the moment and we need to start getting our confidence in the team back.

 

[tim5303]

No complaints

Can't really complain about the getafe goal, our players should have been more alert, and I think most teams would have done exactly as Getafe did

Only good thing I can think of about the goal was that for once you can't really blame the defenders- 2 against 5 is a bit much

 

[Arnau]

very bad ref??? HE DONT HAVE to cut the counter attack. if madrid are silly isnt his bussines... and come on, madrid win in getafe with offside goal, you really belive getafe will be compasive?? haha ! and this 3 poits was very important for getafe

 

[yt23w]

wow. wasnt expecting to read that! 0-1 to Getafe! and what a catastrophe!!! We couldnt even get close enough to foul them!! Bad reffing IMO, he should have ATLEAST made sure that the players knew what was going on before playing, rather than just playing on regardless. Im not saying he should have let them get back into position, but its in the past now, so.....moving on.

Hopefully we can keep our players healthy and motivated to start up another winning streak and not continue our losing streak. Its an important time for us now, i hope we can take advantage of our opportunities and stretch that +2-point lead out a bit further, and also down Roma in the UCL.

 

[Zakov]

well Socrates, lets hope the theory u found about robben is true, who is a magnificent player on his day....but then again, it wouldn't suprise me if he got injured again in the next few games....especially in the CL....

 

[mika]

ready to get knocked of the cl by roma?

 

[KingPaulV]

so here is the news,
Pepe and Robihno are back and fit, but they will not be starting against Recreativo, one would guess that depending on the scoreline we would bring them in, Schuster is saving them for the Roma game...

RVN is also injured, though slightly and it is possible he also wont be starting against Recre...Cannavaro is possibly injured, might be a gametime decision against Recre...........Guti is another of the injured and his start against Recre is in doubt...the sky is as black as it is going to get I think, short of Casillas getting injured, if we can still have all these injuries and manage to hold on, I think we are going home with a title...

 

[MaestroZidane]

ready to get knocked of the cl by roma?

I wish I could say with confidence "yeah right".. Unfortunately our current run of results tends to cast doubts on a man. although if our defense can hold on and we can score one.. Than anything is possible. So bring it on!!

HALA MADRID!!
