La Liga Jornada 14

This will be goal galore by the looks of things.

It's like earlier in the season, the short passing is good, and the every other move is good, but the overall intensity is just not there.

Wow, there's a surprise. But does this mean you'll play 4-2-2-2?

4-1-3-2

You think that Emerson is up for being the lone pivote? Diarra yes, but Emerson??

Either it will end up looking like the triplote we saw against Dinamo Kiev:

-------------------Casillas

Salgado---Cannavaro---S.Ramos---R.Carlos

-----Beckham---Emerson---Guti

------------------Raul

-------v.Nistelrooy---Ronaldo


Otherwise, Beckham on the right and Raul on the left.

Becks and Raul will track back, yeah its probably a 442, with Guti and Emerson working together.

It sooo frustrating, because it is all mental. We know we can play a lot faster but we just seem a bit bored by the whole thing

I was thinking the same. If that's true, then Sevilla's midfield is going to have some fun.

Some interesting battles on the pitch in this game - Kanoute vs. Cannavaro, Alves vs. R. Carlos, and Poulsen vs. Guti.

Yeah it's the "they're only Sociedad in 19th place" trap.


@RM fans: So Capello drops Robinho at the first chance he gets...

Don't forget Javi Navarro + Escude vs Ronaldo + RVN

He has balls unlike Ricky

Poulsen is going to get Guti sent off

Cynical, cynical, cynical...

Hopefully Sevilla-Real Madrid will be a boring match, 0-0 and 3 red cards a piece would do me just fine

Hopefully Sevilla manage 4 and we get a automatic 3-0 win

Nah, will be 0-1 (Ronaldo).

But for the next 40 minutes....

AUPA LA REAL!!!

Jesus Navas is back, confirmed! Good news, now we'll see if Roberto Carlos really has returned to form or not.

Don't worry, Ernesto will kick the sh*t out of poor Navas...

2nd half underway. Let's hope the other lino has better eyesight.

Bit of Arsenalism from Deco. Should have shot but passed. We're back in attack mode but still lacking a spark.

Pity, guess we'll go top tonight...

Grrrr....

How is Gudjohnsen not offside, standing right in front of the goalkeeper?

FINALLY

PICHICHI RONALDINHO GAUUUUUUUUCHO!!!!

About time too.

Iniesta on for Deco.

100th appearance for Iniesta!!!

99 to many.

Good goal. Now we should score one more to make my prediction correct, and it'll be a job well done.
