      I mean they played really really BAD for the whole 3 games except maybe the last 30 mins in the Valladolid one. Something's fishy over there at Madrid fosho. 😂

      Realmadrid has forgotten what won them games and 2 champions leages in the past 3 seasons. Until they get back to playing as a team, and every player on the field putting the team first before his ego, they are doomed to fail this season. Mbape is playing for himself only else he would have gotten a couple of assists by now. That negativity from Mbape is affecting the entire team because the entire front line are now playing for themselves, passing late or not passing the ball at all.

      Mbappe will be Madrids biggest ever flop.
      He's so over rated its ridiculous.
      For some strange reason, the hype over him has been crazy.
      Why?
      He's no better than Rashford or Sterling.
      He's fast.
      That's about it.

      Plus either he likes it or not, Mbappe has to realise his form has dropped in his 5 seasons in france. The french league does not have the level of competition that la liga does. Either Mbape steps up or he is shipped out to Saudi Arabia, he should not be allowed to come and destroy a great project.

      Madrid was unrecognisable, they were lucky to get a point because La Palma's switched off after scoring their goal. I hope they won't play like this at Anfield, they'll be smoked alive😅😅😅

      Mbappe is exposing the French League all by himself! We always thought the French League is a vineyard growers league! What a better way to stamp this narrative.😂😂😂😂

      Mbape in Vinisius can't be on the pitch together. One of them must start only .And…two of them not tracking down and helping even a bit in defence is one two many .It will not work .Say what you want and is obvious that Mbape is enormous talent born once in generation, but he is nowhere good enough in central role as he is on attacking from the left .If it was a bit only of a difference it's OK as Vinisius is enormous talent as well. BUT THE DIFFERENCE IS HUGE .In all his career near 80 percent of his over over 250 goals come when he was employed on tje left side .He is 3 times more productive or dangerous there as when put central. It's not 10 or 15 percent. 3 times .

      Greg is been disingenuous. He is comparing France to Mmadrid when he should be comparing France (Lique un) to Spain (La Liga). I suspect if he was in England, he would say England. He doesn't want to give credit to the high standards of La Liga. Sickening.

      The problem isn't Kylian. Real Madrid as a collective are out of place. They do not seem to be hungry enough.
      Mbappe shouldn't be blamed. Tactics need to be reviewed and positional play that has balance.

    27. @Hypno78 on

      Craig Burley hates Mbappé as a person… Even when Mbappé was overperforming, he still had something to say about his behaviour. He is a HATER. It is not surprising that Craig wants him down badly as he is now struggling a bit.

      Start endrick . Period. Mbappe will make vini leave Madrid. A bad transfer . Both can’t play good for Madrid. Mbappe can’t leave, he just came, Vini will Leave next year.

      Julian Alvarez vini rodrygo was a better atack than Mbappe.

      Also Rodri was a must for Real after Kross leaving.

      Hard season ahead.

      They won’t get past semifinals playing like this.

      Tchouameni is overrated also.

      With all respect for
      Modric, he needs to be benched and Arda played more.

      We shall see, it’s just the start, but Barca and Atletico look better.

      If this goes on, I predict Don Carlo quoting Madrid in the next 3 months

      At PSG Kylian was THAT guy. He was a big fish in a small pond. Now in RM he's playing for a team of big fish in an ocean. None of those guys are going to serve him the way they did in PSG. They're all fighting for the spotlight and the Ballon D'or. I don't see Vini or Rodrygo or even Endrick doing what Benzema did for Christiano for the sake of the team. Kylian is going to have to create his own chances because he's now playing in a team full of people that don't see him as a saviour the way they did in PSG.

      The problem i see at Real Madrid is that Vinicius is not good enough. I cannot believe that he could possibily win balon dor while not being that good. Just compare previous brazilians like, Ronaldo, Rivaldo, Ronaldinho who were miles better than Vinicius and Rodrygo. If i was Real Madrid President, i would sell vinicius as soon as a offer of 500 million came along from saudi.

      Endrick is still young. got to see how he develops.

      it's still the beginning of the szn and he still adjusting on how to play in spain huge difference from ligue1 plus he's playing as a number 9 now let the man cook and settle in
