They've been incredibly lucky in CL. It's easy to be lucky over 2 games but not in 38..

Cristiano is a fucking genius. Leaving the ship before it sinks
He's a big part of the reason it is sinking.

Good guy.
Other than the bad spell last autumn, i think its unfair to blame our inconsistency in the league on CR, who was easily our most consistent player.
Not even attempting to replace him was, and still is unacceptable.

One thing that really bothers me, is how we never can defend properly as a team over 90 minutes.
When you look at Barca, even when things arent clicking, they rarely concede goals(this season is the exception), so they grind out wins/draws on a bad day.
It goes beyond Messi, they simply look more coherent and drilled as a unit than we do.
I want some proper structure in the team, not getting overun whenever we dont find the scoresheet.

90? Solari even highlighted the issue in the presser an hour ago.. It's not 90 when we can't even regularly start well. About 6-8 games this season, most of them away with one Levante, we've gone behind in the first 20 minutes via an individual mistake in some capacity. If we can't break that dynamic, which we seemed to have attempted to do when Marcelo was out, then I don't think this is rescuable.
I know we cant defend for 45, let alone 90.
My point is, in the absence of great attackers, we have do start doing something about team structure, collective defending and all that.
We always concede lots of goals, but now we dont score that much, we have to do things diffirently.

Yea, but even in CL they don't always show up. Plenty of bad games that they survived through luck, referee errors, gifts from the other teams etc.

13 games so far in which RM has 5 losses and 2 draws and yet are only 5 points behind us. Dissapointing.
The rule of the thumb in CL in the last few seasons is the teams that start the season badly pick up their momentum in the Spring when the knockout round of the CL begins. Real were a laughing stock last 2 seasons in this time of the year and yet they managed to step up their game when it mattered. It's all part of EV's plan, that is not to finish la liga title's decision too early so that the team stays competitive and sharp. If we decided la liga , we wouldn't have any more competetive match till Spring, which would lead to another Roma imo. But not this season, EV has learned from his mistakes.
