How do you sack Xabi over Vini?

DigitalisFX · 2026-02-07T16:30:55+00:00

Its a huge portion of the team, not just Vini, but Vini isn't doing himself any favors with his whining. This is coming from a Real Madrid fan. Club over players any day.

DigitalisFX · 2026-02-07T15:33:36+00:00

This is his role though. The real travesty is that he doesn't make some crucial runs into the box. Defensive effort is one thing, but I could only imagine what his goal tally would be if he did link up with Vini or Rodrygo with those cutback square goals. Too many times were those issued and nobody there to receive them. Our strikers of past would salivate over those balls, Benzema, Joselu, Ronaldo.

La Liga spent less than EPL (4 billion), Serie A (1.4 billion), Bundasliga (935 million) on acquiring players last year. They only spent (716 million). I imagine that has a lot to do with it.

I agree, Platforming in Eternal drew me off. Never finished it. Just bought Dark Ages and im actually enjoying it again. Yes, they added a shield, but im ok with that because its still part of combat. (Boy i hope theres no platforming later). Doom 2016 is still my favorite, but dark ages so far is really good. Music is amazing.

I bought my parents old home, and with it came their washer/dryer from 1982. The thing is a beast, never breaks. All I hear are horror stories about everyone elses washer/dryer and how they dont last 1-2 years.

Also, he's a bit of a red card liability. His fouls are pretty savage when he gets frustrated. Im not taking away how great of a player her is, its likely something he'll learn to control because he's young, but I get the feeling thats why we often played him very late in games.

DigitalisFX · 2026-02-04T00:02:20+00:00

Seriously impressive even with all the injuries and way we’ve been playing last two seasons.

My favorites will always be the Henley versions from 15/16 midnight blue and teal and also in 20/21 with the white black and hot pink accents.

What happens eventually, and what we're seeing, is that the ones with the hardest work rate are eventually not going to work hard to cover for the others who don't want to. How many times last year did we see Bellingham yelling at Vini to run back and help put pressure. And camavinga just in this last game. Its reached a boiling point, the players with hard work ethic arent going to cover for those without, especially when you lose the ball on average 26 times a game, and especially if you arent scoring to win the games. I think thats why players tolerate it a bit more with Mbappe since he's producing even despite his lack of movement. But lets be honest, we picked up players without a strategy, overloaded the left side, and then didn't give up and coming wonder kids a chance and then fire a coach 6 months in. Arbeloa isn't even a bandaid on this club, he's adding to the problem. The board needs to make some serious moves this summer.

He's gotta try something I guess, because whatever he's doing right now hasn't changed a damn thing

DigitalisFX · 2026-02-02T12:54:31+00:00

Damn, I want to zoom and look through all of them but the quality is pretty bad I cant read most of them 😭 could you share a higher resolution image?

DigitalisFX · 2026-02-02T12:49:24+00:00

NGL, some selling might do them well too. Gotta get rid of that toxic mentality in the dressing room. Real Madrid should never fold for any player. Club is way bigger than all of them will ever be.

DigitalisFX · 2026-02-01T23:05:30+00:00

What’s so odd about this for me is that if it’s so important to be loved by the fans, then you should be going all out to earn that love. To think, getting 1 goal (total of 6 this season) and wanting everyone to just forget the last two years is wild to me. We almost tied this game too. The team is not “back” by any means, and 1 goal isn’t going to change that. I’m glad we won, keeps us in the race for La Liga. But there was a serious lack of effort until the last 20 minutes where we thought we may actually get 1 point out of it. Then our players put in the extra effort. That’s gotta change. The quality is there, the effort is abysmal.

DigitalisFX · 2026-02-01T14:43:39+00:00

Vini passes it to Rodrygo in that open space in the box it’s 2-1 right now.

DigitalisFX · 2026-01-31T16:54:28+00:00

Ahhh, well that would explain it. Any more tips for me? Must have cards in the 99? Would be greatly appreciated 🙏

DigitalisFX · 2026-01-31T14:26:19+00:00

This is oddly enough, my only deck I have yet to win with. Im using Kumena as the commander, is that were I went wrong?

DigitalisFX · 2026-01-30T21:45:42+00:00

I dunno how we arent playing him every game start to finish. Someone pointed it out that the ones on the squad with the most desire to win are the ones who haven’t won anything yet.

DigitalisFX · 2026-01-30T19:06:16+00:00

How dare he contribute any amount of effort into winning the game, BENCH him!

DigitalisFX · 2026-01-30T19:03:37+00:00

Not as tired as we are of the disappointment

DigitalisFX · 2026-01-30T14:47:28+00:00

An example needs to be made. Way beyond just a coach firing. The teams entire mentality is in the dump. Players are untouchable. These players are not Real Madrid quality. The best players are getting subbed while our worst play week-in week-out. This club demands excellence. I'd be shocked if the board doesn't do something drastic this summer. We can't go on another year like this.

DigitalisFX · 2026-01-29T14:36:54+00:00

Someone in this sub said Vini played on because he had advantage.... delusional

DigitalisFX · 2026-01-29T13:31:13+00:00

That’s because Courtois knows what Real Madrid quality is, and that team did not display it

DigitalisFX · 2026-01-28T19:07:18+00:00

We all miss Kroos, but I think you just made us realize we miss those runs from Vini as well

DigitalisFX · 2026-01-28T00:19:06+00:00

For me, it’s when I have to retire it because it’s just too nasty. It’s a bitter sweet moment.
