At Madrid and Sociedad will probably do it but that fits expectations so nothing will happen.
Not a diss on Lope’s ability but he does seem to hit a streak of luck here and there, last season before the lockdown people were calling for his head, then the EL happened and all was forgiven. This season we were on a pretty dour run against winnable opponents and then win against Valencia and Villarreal in the nick of time.

Scary moment that, Bounou almost had a howler, but good save to stop Lainez

Vidal for Ocampos? Interesting substitution, don’t tell me Lopetgui is going for a draw?

Of course he is, if he could clone Gudelj he’d throw on five Gudeljs.
Someone tell me the logic behind Vidal on the right wing instead of Navas.

Yeah when you play every single game of the season you’re not gonna play very well all the time, not good planning from the board

Disgusting.
Being so defensive but still dominate by Betis and allow them create a ton of chance, while fail to create big chances against weakest defense in the league.
I really don’t like this year team, tactics and coach.

Awful match to watch. Betis using their spoiling tactics from start to the finish with their fouls many of which the ref chose to ignore.
But we should have still battered them with at least 5 of their players out.

Not a good start to 2021. First, we have confirmed that we’re still not a serious team, in that we do not create enough chances and are not dangerous enough to beat a team like BetASS.
Second, it is also confirmed that the agenda of RFEF is to have a two horse race between RM and Atletico this season, any other team that threatens this will pay the consequences through puppet referees, like Carlos del Cerro Grande is a corrupt referee that was hired since 2011 to satisfy RFEF as the criminal organization that they are.
So we can only dream of winning La Liga when there is such an RFEF administration and the corruption installed deep into the system.
Some notes: Navas needs to be benched (rested) for at least around a month or so, the guy is obviously not fresh and is just playing for the sake of it. We should make more use of Vidal or if not convinced loan him out or sell him and go for another full back in January (maybe 2 including a LB because of Escudero). We need Navas in full force for the CL match so Lope needs to be brave for once and rest him, only to have him play in the later stages of the match like 75th minute or so.
Bono I love you!
Did I mention that the referee was most likely paid to screw us up in this one? The first penalty was non-existent, as much as Diego Carlos is known to cause stupid penalties, that particular tackle was one of the cleanest in the history of football. The second one of Acuna was 90/10 (for not being a penalty) because Fekir went into Acuna’s leg and not vice versa, so he clearly wanted to get the penalty, it was not a natural tackle and should have not been given. 90% of the referees (those who are competent and not corrupt) wouldn’t give it, the 10% that are, like the one tonight will give it, especially when it goes to the interest of Atletico and Real Madrid.
Carlos Del Cerro Grande is corrupt.

I’m thinking maybe Navas also hate Lope’s philosophy so he’s just playing for the sake of it

He looks dead tired and is reportedly having continuous muscular annoyances, the problem with him is that he is mentally very strong and wants to play at all costs, probably pressuring Lope to start him too. This is of course a good problem to have, having such players ready for the team at all times, but it is costing us in performance. We all love Navas and respect him for what he has done and what he is doing for the club, however, some rest has never done any player a harm, especially any 35 year old player with both attack/defense duties that is required to run a lot during the match.
