Deportivo La Coruña Vs Real Madrid: Can Madrid Break The Deadlock?

I know he scored an invaluable goal midweek against Lyon, but what is Karim Benzema still doing on the pitch? He looks lazy, has an awful first touch, can’t dribble and most certainly is not a targetman. Real Madrid need Emmanuel Adebayor on as soon as possible to ruffle a few feathers in a Depor defence that is coping far too easily at the moment.

Same old story though, with Real Madrid enjoying the lions share of possession, but still they are struggling to carve out any real opportunities. Kaka has been a little more involved since the break but what’s clear is that he is surplus to requirements at the moment, with Madrid lacking the pace and skill that Angel Di Maria offers.

Credit to Depor though, they are pushing forward in search of that opening goal, but the home side are lacking in both numbers and quality when they find themselves in Real Madrid territory. 30 minutes left for either side to find a potential winner. Some words that might worry a few Real Madrid fans…six matches Madrid have gone in at the break 0-0 away from home this season and they have only managed to win two of them. Testing time for Jose Mourinho.
