A look at the weekends fixtures.

Eleven games in and the league is really starting to take shape the top two are no surprise but the order might be. Real Madrid since losing to Levente have become unstoppable, after the defeat. Jose Mourinho dropped Sergio Ramos (read a great article by Football Ramble about his recnt form http://www.thefootballramble.com/blog/entry/ramos-enjoying-life-in-the-centre). Interestingly Marca TV before the match against Osasuna were comparing Sergio Ramos to the great Hierro, Mourinho has brought Ramos into the centre of defence and looked like a natural, it’s difficult to see if Carvalho will get back into the starting XI. Upfront Higuain has scored 7 in 7 matches, Kaka is back to his counter-attacking best and CR7 and Benzama are looking electric. Barcelona on the other-hand have yet to get out of the early gears and looked flat away from home. It’s difficult to criticise Pep because he’s effortlessly cool, won nearly everything and a cracking player. However, I think he tried to tinker with his squad too much, obviously in football the saying ‘If it aint broke, don’t fix it’ doesn’t apply you always need to add and improve otherwise teams can get found out, but I think he has just tried to tinker a bit too much trying to perfect things. Football clubs don’t need perfection they need results and Barca have dropped more points than expected. This is the first time Real Madrid under Mourinho are 3 points ahead of Barcelona, Jose has never given up a 3 point lead in a league before. EVER!! This is exciting Real Madrid are going to win the league then surely?
