I smell under here

[latinrus]

I smell under here

Why? Madrid having 2 in midfield insted of 3! I think is more attacking lineup!

I'm just still waiting! This lineup is acording to Marca!
The official site of Madrid still don't have the lineup!

I really hope to see Arbeloa - Marcelo

Instead of Arbeloa - Ramos!

Arbeloa > Ramos on defense. Marcelo > Ramos on attack!

[AbleFollow]

smell under by the squard - but playing in defense against mourinho teaam is suicide lyon will play like barcelona an score tree times. expect attacking football here....

[GMilst]

Perhaps Mou was expecting Bastos playing on the left and thought Ramos would make a better job keeping him in check than Marcelo. I thought Marcelo would be there too if he was planning an attacking strategy though.

I think that to have Ramos on the field! I better take Marcelo! Better attacking football and in defense same thing as Ramos!

And Marcelo IMO does better the defense - attack - defense changes. Ramos sometimes is slower!

[gshock1]

Lyon will not score today which is why I'm leaning under. Real will get 1-2

[GMilst]

I agree Marcelo is very fast and has way way better attacking football that Ramos. Kinda, kiiiiiinda like Dani Alves on barca but on the right side. But i feel like Ramos is much tougher on defense than him, he has another presence on the field and can play pretty rough when needed. Thats why i think that Ramos would make a better job stopping Bastos, if he in fact, expected Bastos on the left.

[latinrus]

Now It's official! Ramos starting!

[latinrus]

And Bastos on the right so he'll face Arbeloa!

[GMilst]

Lets see what happens, i hope its fun to watch, and perhaps a Lyon win too

[RubberKettle]

Why Addy instead of Benzema?

[MendozaLine]

Should be fun to watch. OL and the Under for me. Small. Good luck to everyone

[RubberKettle]

Also Ronaldo is on yellow card....no being naughty

[MendozaLine]

did Benzema start against Levante this last weekend?

Why Addy instead of Benzema?

[RubberKettle]

did Benzema start against Levante this last weekend?

Yes

[latinrus]

Why Addy instead of Benzema?

Adeba has more capacity to keep the central defense next to him and that give more spaces to CR7 and Ozil.

Benzema can fix the central defense and they can cover more space!

[GMilst]

Told you Bastos was going to play on the left and he would face Ramos. There was no other logic explanation.

He played at the beggining against Arbeloa! Now is in the Ramos side! Lyon knows that ramos is sh*t on defense!
that mofo Ramos may see a red card I can see it coming!

[Aristocles]

Shit man, I really need Real to score a goal, after that. . . no matter. Holding my breath here

Real looking like crap!

Half of the teams has no fvcking idea what to do!

Ramos on the field? Big stupid decision by Mourinho! Ramos is overplayed by Bastos and Ramos even has a yellow card!

[RubberKettle]

Ramos has to be careful, hes not the best tackler.

[The Special One]

Also Ronaldo is on yellow card....no being naughty

classic show!

[Cuse0323]

damn was debating between real and chelsea all day, looks like i went the wrong way so far.

[JOHON8]

Very smart to but Adebayor instead of Benzema. I can guarantee Lyon would have more chances if Benzema was on.

[latinrus]

Ramos has to be careful, hes not the best tackler.

The guy is awful!!!!!!!!!!! and one of the slowest guys i've ever seen to comeback!

[Aristocles]

Over ½ -428

Sweating bullets here. . .

[RubberKettle]

The goal is coming!!!!!!!

[RubberKettle]
