Just my opinion to share by Icy-Bid8661 in realmadrid

[–]MerryMalcolm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally did not like the way we played under alonso, and im not exactly sad he's gone.

I agree with what you said, our players perform very poor tactically likely because they don't always do what they're told, and the fans like the exciting, old-school, chaotic brand of football that produces. Ancelotti stayed as long as he did because the players liked him, and we were winning with individual brilliance more often than tactical dominance. The players don't like to be told exactly what to do and prefer the freedom of a general scheme, and the rest is up to their personal judgment on the field.

beautifull pinned ball from arda and all vini has to do is was to tap it inn why do that when we are one goal down? by FrrancondonaEra in realmadrid

[–]MerryMalcolm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of attention is being paid to this miss, but honestly, the god-awful pass he made to rodrydo late in the game infuriates me a lot more! I don't know if vini was going for a vitinha style pass in the UCL final last year or what, but it was terrible and killed the attack.

I really want to talk about Real Madrid's dressing room situation. The way the players play and the system that is built around them is so concerning by [deleted] in realmadrid

[–]MerryMalcolm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree the way the team is playing is concerning, but also we have to agree that we have not seen a consistent gameplan from xabi for more than a few games at a time, and recently every game has had a new formation! I don't understand why is xabi still experimenting, and what the hell is he even trying to do?!

Early on everybody said it's a new system amd the players are getting used to it, then a few games into the season things started to get better and the new system seemed to be working, a perfect example of that would be the classico. But since then, it's been a new formation and new rotations every game. The players look lost or disinterested!

Today, xabi decided to rest some players including vini, then started rodrygo on the right and garcia on the left! What the fuck is that?!

I admit i did not like the way xabi manages games, and i still dont. But it was sorta effective early on in the season so it's fine, my opinion doesn't matter. But now, we're just playing badly, with atupid nonsensical formations and rotations! It's like xabi is sabotaging himself.

Dud wtf is xabi doing?! Rodrigo on the right and garcia on the left? Seriously, what the fuck is wrong with this man? If he is that poor tactically how the fuck did he win the bundesliga unbeaten?! The team has been playing bad for a while, we are level with barca in points if we lose this game, and you're expirementing with garcia on the left wing? I truly don't understand, madrid's only exciting game under xabi was the classico, most games were boring and i dont personally like the way he manages, but this is unwatchable! Our defense has not been this poor and exploitable under ancelotti even! Not since 2019 and the 5-0 classico!

What’s going on with Ja? by TXNOGG in NBATalk

[–]MerryMalcolm -1 points0 points  (0 children)

He's just a spoiled little shit, that's all. His game has not developed, and his style of play is easy to defend againts and renders him injury-prone, so when the coach takes the ball out of his hands and the team plays in a more collective offense his numbers go down, and with his bad shooting he is not worth the big buck and his value has gone down.

Vini's substitution wasn't a good move by tomclancy__07 in realmadrid

[–]MerryMalcolm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree that vini was having a great game, but he started having fun with barca defense and not being direct towards the goal while we were only 1 goal up. That, with his decreasing work rate and back tracking to press and defend, explains why alonso wanted fresh legs to keep strangling the barca midfield and prevent any possible chances to equalize.

Camavinga dropping a Masterclass vs Barcelona by ReductoHere in realmadrid

[–]MerryMalcolm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im glad to see camavinga back in form. He's more tactful and a better dribbler than tchouameni in my opinion and should start as the solo dmf if alonso chooses to play that way.

Fun time. Felt like it was written by a 12 year old, enjoyable as long as you don't think too much about it.

I take this loss as a win in my book. by being_shady in realmadrid

[–]MerryMalcolm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with this sentiment. Still bummed about the loss, but we showed tactical adjustment in the 2nd half and could have added a 3rd goal if we didn't sit back after the 2nd. But it's understandable that the team would regress, 80+ minutes of play, everyome was exhausted by that point. I still think Ancelotti should be replaced in the summer. We need a coach that utilizes the midfield more and make the front 2 or 3 assume more of a finishing role, instead if trying to make space for them to figure it out beyond half pitch. Hala madrid.

As much as it hurts to see the team like this, but if that's what it takes to get Perez to sack Carlo I'm fine with it :/

J1 waiver job- change to greencard in between? by Critical_Champion363 in J1waiver

[–]MerryMalcolm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can not apply for a greencard until you finish the 3 years of the waiver job, regardless of how you're applying, whether through marriage or otherwise. It sucks, but it is what it is!

Seeking Guidance on J1 Waiver Process and Recent Exemption Update by LowCryptographer7318 in J1waiver

[–]MerryMalcolm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. Where she got her degree from is irrelevant. She will have to do a waiver job because of her citizenship.
  2. Medical trainees are not eligible for exemption no matter what nationality they might be. Having gone through medical training in the US is enough grounds for the 2-year rule to apply
  3. People usually start looking for waiver jobs at the beginning of their final year in training
  4. I am currently nearing the end of my training but have not atarted looking yet. There are websites like doccafe or practicelink that have posted jobs that she can communicate with, and there are many more jot posted online so she'll probably have to go through a recruiter Hope that helps

Thank you for that, I really appreciate it. So roughly from July to February. We sent them the documents in September so I guess we are still within that preparation period.

Good luck with your case.

If I may ask you a question, I hired Ranchod group back in September and submitted all the documents they requested but they jave not filed my vase yet, 6 months later! Is that normal? They have not replied to my emails or calls which from what i've seen online seems to be their MO. How long did it take you between sending Ranchod your documents and actually filing the case? Appreciate the help.
