Pearso Posted August 2, 2013 Report Share Posted August 2, 2013 I'll be chuffed if there's another Real Madrid match thread any time soon, so thought I should jump in and grab this one by the short hairs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hafnia Posted August 2, 2013 Report Share Posted August 2, 2013 Get in there! Under Roberto we will have a go at these, lets see how our boys stand up to the test. No respecting reputations, play with no fear. We may concede but we will be doing our best to give them something to think about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
efc1111 Posted August 2, 2013 Report Share Posted August 2, 2013 Great to see this one will kick off at 1am Sunday (UK time) so no matchsticks required this time. Romey 1878 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romey 1878 Posted August 2, 2013 Report Share Posted August 2, 2013 Fearful of a hammering in this one if I'm honest. Our defence looked a bit shoddy last game and Madrid have much better players who will take advantage of that. But I'm hopeful we'll give them something to think about at the other end too.

Lowensda Posted August 2, 2013 Report Share Posted August 2, 2013 Is it me, or does this not make sense? http://internationalchampionscup.com/ If Madrid beat us (Match 5), they play for 5th? Have they got that the wrong way around? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barryj Posted August 2, 2013 Report Share Posted August 2, 2013 Is it me, or does this not make sense? http://internationalchampionscup.com/ If Madrid beat us (Match 5), they play for 5th? Have they got that the wrong way around? They have got this wrong. They have made a few other mistakes over the last couple of days such as the kick off time for Everton Real Madrid. I think it will be corrected by the end of the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluenosetoffee Posted August 2, 2013 Report Share Posted August 2, 2013 How come LA Galaxy and Juventus can play for third place but if we lose we can only play for 5th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msloan78 Posted August 2, 2013 Report Share Posted August 2, 2013 They seem to have corrected it. Should a get a decent crowd in Miami if all the games are played on the same day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RuffRob Posted August 2, 2013 Report Share Posted August 2, 2013 I wonder how different our team will look. Given the quick succession of game over this two week period, and only using a few subs late on against Juve, I imagine at least 50% of the starting line up might change, possibly more. We could even see a different system being adopted. Result is not so important, you can learn more from defeats and the mistakes made than wins to be honest, so a down to earth lose against one of the best teams in world football would not be that bad. Looking forward though especially after the Juve result and performance. I like this 'no fear' approach. Sibdane 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avinalaff Posted August 2, 2013 Report Share Posted August 2, 2013 I thought we looked very jaded last game despite the win. Hopefully our players will have woken up by the time we destroy Madrid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey Posted August 2, 2013 Report Share Posted August 2, 2013 Im hoping we start with the 4-2-3-1 style formation we started the first half of the Blackburn game. Howard Coleman-Jags-Stones-Baines Fellaini-Gibson Mirallas-Barkley-Deulofeu Kone. Ideally we would need to look at giving Gibson a break in one of these friendlies but I dont think we have the option at the moment. It doesnt surprise me that we are being linked to this sort of player a lot at the moment because we certainly need someone as a back up. Howard & Stones should keep their places considering they played so well against Juve, Deulofeu should be given a run out against his parent clubs arch rivals and whilst I dont think Mirallas should play the full 90 mins I think its important he is on the pitch.

Cornish Steve Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 I don't see the result as a foregone conclusion at all. I really think Real have an outside chance. Hoof_It_Nev and rubecula 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuffRob Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 Wouldn't be surprised to see Deulofeu get a run out against Spanish opposition. he my not start though. our players have had a extra day break between games, but I guess with the squad Madrid have and the time of the season that isn't going to have to much of a bearing.

Cake Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 No reason at all why we won't do well in this game. Can't do our profile any harm either, simply because of who the opponents are, but we must have a higher profile than we think we have by being accepted to play in the competition in the first place alongside all those other names.

Avinalaff Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 1AM, 5PM their time. Is it so hard to consider the European fans of each club, and start the weekend matches especially a little earlier? :dont know: What's wrong with a 12:30 kick off, or a 2pm kick off in their time?

Guest Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 (edited) I can see Defelou starting, cant predict the team or formation and that's whats getting me slightly hard. No 4-5-1 and you can name the team straight away. In this heat he might not want to risk kone if he is fasting so he may go 4-4-2 im sure they wouldn't want to face Vic.

Peter H Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 Just purchased the game on the OS. Slightly nervous though as theres a freak lightning storm here and my internet is acting up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
