The glass may not be half full at Estadio Santiago Bernabeu in this moment, but it's not half empty either and Real Madrid's squad are backing Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema to rediscover their scoring touch.
Talk of a crisis around Los Blancos has been mitigated by the punctuated memory of the team's glorious success across last season and the two trophies already collected in 2017/18.
"Calm down, we're with you until death," has been among the phrases mentioned in an attempt to assure the strikers, with Ronaldo in particular thrown off by a five-game ban that greeted the start of his LaLiga campaign.
Although the Portuguese star has notched at a rate of one goal every 94 minutes, his tally of five in Europe has not reached the league, where he has only scored once this season.
As for Benzema, he too can only boast a solitary strike past Getafe as the wider fandom and media target the Frenchman for his lack of decisive contribution.
