Clearly an irrelevant comment since we don't support Valverde and his tactics. You on the other hand jump at everyone who makes the slightest criticism on Zidane.

Not really. Only at you. Because yours makes no sense. DonAK made a valid comment. Learn?

Sure it does. It's obvious Madrid spam crosses too freaking often, except to you. Even DonAK noticed it...

That's not true though is it?
Some definitely support Valverde and his tactics, and believe he's an elite manager.

I'd like to think it's a very small group. And I think it really is.
Real Madrid is definitely getting scarier with time. Reminds me of the season where they had poor form early, only to pick up momentum and be unstoppable (at least in CL). I know Barça will always beat Real irrespective of their form under Messi era which should be enough to secure the league.

Nope. Zero cross spamming from 30 minutes onwards. Try again.

A very loud obnoxious small group.

Until Sociedad had to go out and chase the game, and that's until the 2-1 goal, it was cross after cross. From one side to another. All your midfielders did almost was to switch the game to the fullback to put in a cross. Very little to almost no central play, no verticality, very few central combinations. Almost robotic crossing.
After Sociedad got out and left spaces, you started to show off your counter game. So basically, you are a crossing team in positional, and a better more fluid and more good-looking team on the counter in transitions.

Because that's the only way you know how to play against a low block. At least under Zidane.

Name one old/slow team that plays a different way against a low block.

Except it's Zidane's job to make sure the team is not old and slow. Otherwise he's just a patch-guy like Ernie. Brought to scrap up some results from an aging team in a serious identity crisis.

What's Zidane meant to do - make Benzema and Modrić grow 2 more pairs of legs, lungs and make them 5 years younger?

Something more than just plug the holes, replace Ronaldo with Hazard and carry on with the same veterans and the same tactics from 2016, as if nothing is different.
