I think it's too early to criticize him. He's still adjusting to Spain, and tactically, his team isn't doing badly. We criticize Real Madrid for scoring one goal, but isn't that how football is? Sometimes you score one goal and win the game. The important thing was to earn the three points, and they did. I think we need to be a little more patient with Xabi Alonso.
Real Madrid is a big team for fans not to criticize the manager when the performance of the team is not going well, though they played their first game league game of the season fans were supposed to understand that the manager may be considering the best formation to use in the team but if the team is not able to improve in their next games then Xabi Alonso should be ready to start answering questions cause he's handling the best and biggest team in the world.
