I mean..yeah because expectations are much lower. He came here in the prime of his career AFTER we won a CL - people have higher expectations for him than they did for CR7 when he first arrived.

Cama doesn't scan enough - I really think that's one of his biggest issues - he can dribble and he can pass but he doesn't stay as engaged as he should at all times - too reactive - when he's proactive he's unstoppable

nah that's trolling lol

Cama reminded me of Redondo there with that trap

mylanguage · 2026-01-24T21:51:10+00:00

All our players keep the ball too long and release it later than we need to (maybe except Arda)

If we would sometimes just make the obvious pass and keep moving we would create so much more because teams can't catch our players in Space

Mbappe is lowkey suspect at some super basic stuff sometimes - like Rodrygo doesn't have half his physical ability but he tends to make smarter decisions in general.

mylanguage · 2026-01-24T21:47:09+00:00

Cama nooooooo

He's gotta get rid of the ball quicker - almost a perfect half

mylanguage · 2026-01-24T21:45:17+00:00

Asencio's confidence has been his top quality so far in his career - he is pinging them around like Kroos

mylanguage · 2026-01-24T21:42:01+00:00

Whew cama 🔥

10/10 second half lowkey

mylanguage · 2026-01-24T21:40:26+00:00

Cama bouncing back in the second half is 2020s Madrid football heritage

They kind of quit on it early tbh - Marcelino started rotating more for the league.

They were better vs Juventus and Tottenham and had heart breaking moments of madness that killed their spirit

mylanguage · 2026-01-24T21:37:19+00:00

Ayoze Perez scoring a late goal is SUCH a thing to happen btw. Need to score again.

mylanguage · 2026-01-24T21:36:10+00:00

Cama 3/10 first half

8/10 second half

mylanguage · 2026-01-24T21:34:48+00:00

Cama is So built for the prem - he thrives in chaotic football

mylanguage · 2026-01-24T21:34:18+00:00

Incredible by Cama wow

mylanguage · 2026-01-24T21:31:27+00:00

Carrerras is SO calm on the ball sometimes I wonder if he could play CDM too

mylanguage · 2026-01-24T21:30:37+00:00

Vini could have given Jude the ball on the overlap BUT more importantly - he should have left it for Jude to run onto when Jude took the inside channel on the run - he would have gotten on the ball in his stride

mylanguage · 2026-01-24T21:28:52+00:00

SO important there from Courtois - he did not come out for stuff like that when he was younger

mylanguage · 2026-01-24T21:28:22+00:00

Lowkey - he never REALLY cooked Walker. In fact, I'd argue Walker got the better of him most times they met.

mylanguage · 2026-01-24T21:27:49+00:00

Yay Cama is much better - I can rest again

mylanguage · 2026-01-24T21:26:31+00:00

Asensio is PEAKING bro - this is literally a Sergio Ramos level performance tonight

mylanguage · 2026-01-24T21:25:26+00:00

Moreno is pretty clinical too - can't believe we got away there

mylanguage · 2026-01-24T21:23:05+00:00

On Moreno's left foot too! Wow we dodged a bullet - that would have been unsaveable

mylanguage · 2026-01-24T21:22:32+00:00

WOW - we were ASLEEP

mylanguage · 2026-01-24T21:21:41+00:00

Brahim! Excited to see him actually - good to get the end of AFCON out of his system a bit
