Alright sorry guys that I didnt post about the game I was working but still managed to catch most of it....
We won 2-1 As Hammy said goals by Higuain and Raul (penalty).
Points of notice:
-Raul Scored his 200th Goal. Good on him, i believe he will pass Di Stefano as the alltime leading scorer for Madrid...And will go down as one of the great legends of world Football....
-Marcelo IMO had his best RM game and is MOM in my opinion along with Pepe. The defense was anchored by Pepe indeed who looked good after the first 5 minutes. He was a stalwarth for most the game and saved some uncommon mistakes from Casillas who really wasnt at his best. (He still looked better than 90% of GKs outhere)
-I cant recall a RM madrid game where I was less enthusiastic, I really was nervous for the parts I watched, we just looked shaky at times, specially when the score was 1-1. I must say that the Roma defeat really really affected us....
-We are FAR TOO predictable, and it showed. When we were down 0-1 or even 1-1 we tried to force the ball down the middle time and time again, After we took a lead (which came after a counter attack play) we looked better because we were counterattacking, and that is all we know how to do, counter, if a team stands up in front of us and robs our spaces we look lost...we need creation in the mid.
-Baptista was atrocious again, he gives away way too many balls, and Guti didnt look good until Sneijder came in, Sneijder looked good also...Raul looks too lonely up top without RVN.
We got the title patch right in front of us. At Depor, Valencia and Sevilla at Home and then At Mallorca....how we do in these games determines if we walk with the title this year....Good win, hopefully we get RVN back and we can sit Baptista for a little bit he's out of form...
