Good analysis and I don't know whether it was the right call to leave Mbappe at home, I really don't know. But everyone knows that Mbappe is far away from his best level. Something is going on and he can't deliver what everyone expected from him. But I have to reaffirm that Mbappe is playing bullshit most of the time since he came from PSG. It is not his game so far and nobody understands what the issue is. Even Ancelotti doesn't know, but he would not let the public know. Mbappe is out of shape in my opinion. I remember his games at the World Cup when he went furious and destroyed the opponent. For some reason he can't do it at the moment although he has all these top players around him feeding him with opportunities.

People say he's not 100% fit, but I doubt that's the reason for his dip in form. He has dipped before he got to Real Madrid. If you remember, he was average in the Euros, he wasn't at his best there and he had a lot of time to rest and recover before the new season started, so I don't think his dip in form is injury related.

At Real Madrid, he has not been all that. The whole team has not been spectacular this season, but Mbappe looks like a shadow of himself. I knew la liga was not going to be easy for him, but I expected him to have good games. Mbappe has not had a good game in a Real Madrid shirt. Scoring goals in La liga is difficult. Aside from Messi Suarez and Ronaldo, no striker consistency scored more than 25 league goals in La liga.
I think if Mbappe is given more time, he'll excell. The fans just need to be patient with him and supportive, he'll get his form back.

Aside from Mbappe, if Real Madrid don't improve the way they play, they might have a bad season. Getting the results the way they have been doing might not be sustainable forever because Barcelona is in a good form and to win the league they have to be better. If they don't find a way to top Barcelona before January it's going to be difficult because all Barcelona players will be back before then and they might be better than they already are except they suffer more injuries.
