Hope Zidane can succeed as a manager. One of my favourite players ever.

F Benitez. Good riddance

Atletico being on top is a lie. Barcelona have a game in hand, own the head to head, and goal differential.

Still find it hard to believe they hired Benitez in the first place. I'm upset they wouldn't let him complete his sabotaging of the squad

You really think Zidane is going to be a good replacement? Does he have experience?

Don't know. He's been coaching Castilla. It does not matter if he fails to get results. Benitez was not only failing to get results, he was also sabotaging the club. He had issues with Kroos, Ronaldo, Ramos, James, Isco, Jese, cheryshev, benzema, and even Modric. Guy was destroying the club from within

You know its bad when someone like Modric even has an issue.... this guy is one of the most teamplayer guy out there....

**** Benetiz.... FINALLY sealed the deal when he kept both James and Isco on the bench vs Valencia.... **** dumbass sh*t... I can't stand him and his arrogant ass....

Meh. James had 19 and 18 last season despite missing 2.5 months. Best numbers by any la liga midfielder, but sure Mass, he sucks.

He's having a bad season, but he was injured and had issues with Rafa. He'll be alright. I don't get your obsession with James. No one here even talks about him nor does anyone compare him to Arda.

Because you used to tell me that he is the best #10. All he has a good world cup(nothing spectacular) and one okay season at Real. He is playing with Bale-Cr7 and Benzema. Sure he will play score goals and make assists but they are highly inflated.

Arent you the one trying to convince us all the time Benzema is a terrible player?...but now all of a sudden we cant take James stats serious because he is playing with Benzema? Or even better Ronaldo who is actively mad after goals when someone else scores. Loooooool

Most of his goals are bangers from outside the box. Really doubt playing with the overrated and non technical BBC helps him do that

By the way, when did I brag about James a lot? I haven't even mentioned James half as much as you have mentioned guys like Arda, Melo, Yilmaz yet you don't see me trying to tell you they suck.

Actually playing behind the BBC hurts you(in this case James) cause it's implied you have to give to one of those 3 to score goals...

Its actually one of my bigger issues with the misuse of James and shortening the total football ability of the likes of Isco, Kroos, Modric etc... they can't expand their offensive game, they "must" complement the BBC... C>B>B...

As you can see, his goals are all tap ins from the BBC

FWIW, I know I've been the advocate about Benzama's importance... the guy IMO can be replaced.... he has one good game then fail for a bit....

with Benetiz sacked, lets see what happens now.

Madrid is interested in Hazard. Wonder what it takes to get him
