No they weren't. The Madrid defenders were in the dark green stripe, the Sevilla winger was still on a light green strip of grass. Clear onside IMO.


WTF is Drenthe's position? He goes from centre to right to left and then back in the centre

wtf is drenthe doing on the half way line on a corner

that was before the ball was passed. they slowed it down and showed it. offside

wat a ball to kanoute

yellow to pepe. hand ball

pk kanoute, goal

Penalty for Sevilla...Kanoute to take it. I think he'll miss.

Goal.

3-1 Sevilla. haHa Madrid

that was a pretty good pk

now we have to score 4, it can be done

that was sarcasm mind you

pepe wot was he thinking

It seems to me that Madrid's players don't get this diamond system at all. There is no shape to the team whatsoever. It's so difficult for them to find a pass. Schuster and the players have asked for time and patience, well, they'll need a lot of it! Let's hope Calderon is trigger happy

I know people say this a lot, but next Saturday truly is the best time to face this Madrid side. Reyes, Forlan, Maxi, Simao against this lot...promises to be a spectacle

i thought pepe was sent off there, just bodied off the sevillan player

robinho pokes alves in the eye. we are really beating the $h!t out of him

Drenthe goal

http://www.d1g.com/video/show/?id=1272510

foul on ramos, that should have been a yellow

ramos is bleeding, busted a lip... definetly should have been carded

what a goal from canna!

Gol Madrid, Cannavaro at the far post from a Sneijder free kick on the right. Palop's fault, he went for a f@cking walk.

Schuster has sat motionless on his chair the entire half!

How is Sneijder doing?

free kick to back post, well driven from sneijder... super cannavaro for the goal

he's been decent, he is taking all the set pieces and is doing good. he's been kind of quite but not bad

Riviera wrote:How is Sneijder doing?

I've hardly seen him. And that's not a dig at his height.

I think Drenthe is f@cking up the entire system. He's *everywhere*, trying to win every ball. I don't think I've ever seen anything like his performance today outside of a match in school where you just give the ball to the kid who's really good and he dribbles the whole oppo defense. Except Drenthe is not being given the ball, he's trying to take it

have they given up on defending over in spain?

a positive from this half is that we have found someone to replace becks freekicks. sneijders has made some very good freekicks. allthough i havent seen much of him.
Kas
i have no idea what system we are playing because it aint 4-4-2 with a diamond. it looks like 4-3-2-1 or something because drenthe is everywhere which actually hasnt been a bad thing since he distributes the ball surprisingly well.but other then that i dont get it because sneijder is in the middle and so is diarra and raul.

at the back has been a bit disorganized, all the goals have been from complete madness at the back

i dont think its the diamond system, i think drenthe has been doing real good actually. he's been covering over the other player's position and is takingon players and getting in dangerous situations

Positives are :

Sneijder is doing good with distributing from free kicks
Drenthe is active and not afraid to get the ball
Pepe has been solid (with the exception of the PK)

Negatives :

Raul sucks donkey balls....
The defense is not working together as a unit. i dont think either of them is having a bad game individually but as a back 4 they have been shaky.
Robinho and Sneijder need to see more of the ball they havent done much
