I think Renan Was the best. Boh sideshowed equal llevel of performance and it was the Brazilian, who won the point for us by his saves, I’msure.I liked Miguel and Fernandes as well as Baraja, Edu, Albiol and Mata.

i think thats a good result,people expect us to win every game (i used to be like that) but on the back of a couple of poor results im happy enough.i still think this team is only just begining and with a bit of luck emery will bring us the same level of success as rafa benitiz did,that also raises the expectacion levels to the point that we think we are puta madrid,i never want to be like them.also agree that alexis was superb,and his hair is a bit dodgey,which makes me happy.
compared to this time last year we are like brazil on acid.amunt.

Fair result, although i’m a bit disappointed that the match didn’t live up to the pre-game hype. Villa must be getting frustrated labouring on his own up front like that, I’m confused that we didn’t take off Baraja for Morientes in the last 20 mins and try to go for it a bit more. Overall, not too bad.. let’s see how the next few weeks turn out

The only thing goal dot com has said about the match is that it was a boring snoozefest. I thought it was a pretty exciting game. Now that might be chalked up to the fact that I drank all day in anticipation of the match, but it was a decent game. Our boys played pretty well. I think Alexis is a rock in the back – he has been solid all year. He saved Moretti’s ass a few times. Did anybody hear the shout out I got from the lame GolTV announcers? Even though Puta Madrid eeked out another bs win, Villareal got killed, so I am happy with the day. When Silva gets back and we sign another striker and left back, watch out. AMUNT!!!

Finally was able to watch a game after a long time. Good to see Renan making some saves though he committed a mistake towards the end which almost gave the game away…great save by Alexis. To me, he (meaning Alexis) was the star of the game.

Villa needs some rest or motivation..I was surprised that we didnt bring Moro on for at least last 20 minutes. Looks like we were content with the draw.

@ Javier: Yeah Madrid dont seem to be that scary this year, but they always have the refs on their side when they play against us. I wont say we are a sure bet for a top 4 finish (we still have Sevilla and Atletico to worry about), but if we concentrate on the league and forget the UEFA cup we might be able to even finish second if we are lucky.

gOAL.COM is a hunk of shit. if you arent one of the main bandwagon teams like Man U Real or Barcelona then they talk crap. im so sick of Goal and their fake news. They will print any rumour no matter where it comes from.. half their garbage comes from tribalfootball.com another crap site.

Wanna read garbage about valencia just read as.com or marca. Those real supporting papers will no doubt give you your fill.

now rant over let talk the match. Game was very evenlly matched. personally i think i could have gone either way and the fact it ended 0-0 was fair if not surprizing since both sides went for the juggular. First one team would dominate the attack then it would swing back. I can say i found any major fault on either side… i got my fair share of scares and renan saved the necessary saves to prevent an enfarto.

All in all if we play this solid we belong in the top 4. After watching madrid play today i personally am less worried about them.. We can beat this wimpering weakened madrid… bring them on.

I think Alexis and Miguel were simply amazing. God, even Moretti was pretty solid! Renan was good today and saved 3 great chances (a first for him at our club). As for our attackers, Villa was quiet (he was also a bit selfish in the end when his teammates were in better positions to take the shot) and Mata should have scored the 2 clear chances he had.
I agree with 7amanito, Emery wasnt looking for a win and he might have done the right thing playing there. Anyway I expected a 2-0 loss, especially after the terrible performance of last week, so getting a point was better than nothing.
