Match post: Real Madrid vs Osasuna, 20:00 local time

[flywoman]

Again, anyone watching the Real Madrid game today is welcome to comment on this post. Sergio Ramos is out for a five match ban after accusing the "shameless" referee of the Celta game of "f***ing us over all day long" (an accusation that was not unjustified imo, if reckless) and Pepe is still out injured, so it will be interesting to see what happens with the RM defense. It would be a huge help to near-relegation Osasuna to claim a victory today.

LOL it is funny how everyone is so worried for poor Osasuna today!

but yes, it will be interesting to see how Real manages without their main defenders ... at least Ike will play for sure!

Osasuna XI: Andrés Fernández, Marc Bertrán, Rubén, Arribas, Damiá, Cejudo, Lolo, Oier, Nino, Armenteros, Kike Sola

Marc Bertran is Puyi's buddy from La Pobla!

Marc Bertran seems pretty good!

[elizaberglund.livejournal.com]

Oh! And I forgot that Cristiano is out for 5 yellows!

[flywoman.livejournal.com]

Oh, I didn't know that! Should be even more interesting then.

Real Madrid XI: Casillas, Arbeloa, Varane, Albiol, Coentrao, Xabi Alonso, Khedira, Modric, Di María, Callejón, Higuaín

[elizaberglund.livejournal.com]

I forgot that Coentrao was back .... good to see Xabi back though. I gues it was nothing dangerous than ... and surprise to see Mou dropping Benz for Pipa ... not that I'm complaining. I like Pipa!

[flywoman.livejournal.com]

I really prefer Pipa to Benz. I guess neither one is as reliable a finisher as some might like, but imo Benz is not aggressive enough - he often passes when he should just show some balls and shoot.

Bench: Jesús, Kaká, Benzema, Özil, Carvalho, Marcelo, Essien

hmmmmm Ozil on the bench? Risky if you ask me!

[flywoman.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I would have started with Ozil and then subbed Modric on if needed. But I'm not the Special One ;).

[flywoman.livejournal.com]

Damn, hard to find a good stream today.

That should have been a corner for Osasuna.

[flywoman.livejournal.com]

Boy, they are beating up on Calleti today.

[elizaberglund.livejournal.com]

Ouch! I don't like di maria but it must have hurt!

[elizaberglund.livejournal.com]

Madrid is attacking like crazy!

[elizaberglund.livejournal.com]

Real's defending is haotic.

[flywoman.livejournal.com]

RM are playing like they're kind of freaked out.

[elizaberglund.livejournal.com]

Kike Sola is impessive today

[flywoman.livejournal.com]

I agree!

[flywoman.livejournal.com]

What the hell was that? Xabi?

[flywoman.livejournal.com]

Ahhahahahaha, I haven't seen a keeper out that far in a long time!

[elizaberglund.livejournal.com]

Marc ertran is apparently their main man fo free kicks outs and so on

[flywoman.livejournal.com]

Iker was READY for that one, dammit! XD

[elizaberglund.livejournal.com]

Fabio the fuck was that!

[flywoman.livejournal.com]

I would have thought a yellow...

[elizaberglund.livejournal.com]

Alvaro Cejudo is pretty (shallow note)

[flywoman.livejournal.com]

The problem with this stream is they always seem to go to commercial at crucial moments ;)

[flywoman.livejournal.com]

Arbeloa is looking pretty scruffy these days

[elizaberglund.livejournal.com]

I'm impressed with Osasuna's man-marking. They are where they should be.

[flywoman.livejournal.com]

Yes, their defense is pretty disciplined.

[elizaberglund.livejournal.com]

Yes cejudo is not only pretty but also pretty good.

[elizaberglund.livejournal.com]

Ouch! Oier is rather lucky it was just yellow tbh.
