Hello guys, I am a Madrid fan writing from Spain. I would like to share my point of view . First of all sorry for my english.I will write my honest opinion so sorry if you are upset for some of my comments.
First of all, for Madrid and spanish fans was great to visit Anfield, 15 champions league at the field,however...according to your own comments it seems that you are a second class team.
Brendan Rodgers is a great manager, he proposes a nice football, you must stick to him, anyway, if i read well the club has spent around 150 million pounds/200 million euros. If Real Madrid spends that and later we have to see that crap you can be sure that the manager would be gone the next day and probably some players in the next transfer market. It´s something that i can´t understand in british football , you are too friendly,kind and accomodating with players, managers and board. It´s easy to read comments saying "they need time...", "it´s a project..", " they are new in the club and the country...". It´s like Bale, he was great his first year here, but in case that was bad, i don´t care if he is new in the country or the team, he earn a lot and plays in Madrid, if he can´t deal with that he should be gone in June.Many of your players are not good enough to play for Liverpool according to your history as a club.In my opinion you can be a good supporter being tough and demanding.
The excuse "was one of the best teams in the world" is not good, Ludogorets was a very hard game for Madrid and I didn´t even know the team a month ago.
The chants and the atmosphere is fantastic but I think (and sorry) that you are a bit obsessed with the YNWA. Sometimes , like today, players need to get a shout from their own fans, to force them to bite to the opposite team. As someone said, Kroos and Modric didn´t sweat, but Liverpool players did? instead your players looked like fans, expecting the match to end to demand an autograph..come on!, they are playing in Liverpool, you should remind them.
About players...I don´t know why the controversy with Balotelli swapping the shirt, everybody does that here, the controversy should be totally focused about his attitude. He should be left out of the team for months, in the same way that City did with Tevez.
I also read here and I agree that your defense is good individually but not as a unit.
Henderson/Allen/Gerrard are not good enough to be a premier league real candidate. Sorry for this, but Gerrard became extremely slow.Sometimes legends (we had the problem with Raul) like him become a problem and not a solution when they are getting old. I would start looking for top midfielders. 20 millions pounds for Lallana? that is far too much.Everybody talks bad about Johnson year after year but he is still playing...and about the striker...the same..Sturridge is ok but not good enough to win Premier league if you compare his skills with Falcao/Van Persie/Costa.At least he is better than Arsenal strikers.
Good luck for the future, I am looking forward to see the team winning Premier League
