Aside from Renan and Fernandes any other MoM nominations for the poll?

We need to improve our away form.
Especially in the final third.

Actually this game was very similar to the Malaga and Valladolid games.
Have to disagree a bit here, I taught we were better in this match than in those, aside from the score ofcourse. We controlled the game from the beginning to the end and had above 70% possession, while we played on the counter in those games.

We've improved in that sense, but Unai has to figure out a starting formation for our away games which doesn't include Angulo. And we have to be more decisive infront of goal.
I am just amazed at how Angulo continues to get games ahead of Morientes and even Zigic. He offers absolutely nothing, thats probably the only thing Koeman was right in :D
koeman was playing angulo over joaquin before he casted him out for non-football reasons :frustrat:
Don't worry guys, we've still yet to have a game this season where we've fcuked up. Compare us to our rivals especially after the two nobs and we've been far more solid than them.

Next Racing at home. And this time it's live, how dare they give Valencia two Sunday afternoon games. :mad:
I thought we deserved more. We were better through and through and had Joaquin scored that clear opportunity in the 1st half, we would have won.


I'm not too fussed about this. We were actually very improved from the Malaga and Almeria matches. We had a bit of bad luck but whatever.


We'll get better from this one.
You have fúcking problems then, horrible horrible player. Taking out Fernandes when he is our best player, big what the fúck there. Mata was an abomination.
Not sex like our home games but all our away games have been kinda problematic so I guess we need some time and patience.
Fernandes is really class
You have fúcking problems then, horrible horrible player. Taking out Fernandes when he is our best player, big what the **** there. Mata was an abomination.
No no. I'm not saying he's a good player or anything like that. It's just that in this game he was solid defensively and I can't remember him doing anything wrong. You gotta give him credit when its due man, we can't just keep bashing the guy week in week out when some of his performances are good when you look closely.
I suggest you watch again, he was horrible. He can't defend at all, he was very reckless to say the least.

ll our away games have been kinda problematic
Ya, we have been winning our home matches bar Almeria, but they have been far from comfortable. We had 70-30 possession, but half of it was Albiol - Alexis tossing each other off at the back. Renan (For the shit kick he did) and Moretti were at fault fo that goal, if we didn't concede there, we probably would have won
Miguel was fcuking gash. IIRC, the goal and every other attack we were on the receiving end of were his fault.
Moretti was worse, way worse...
He fúcked up EVERY damn attack, he can take the ball on one touch and then cross it BUT NOOOOO!
This guy who has not that much speed nor dribbling skills tries to take on some defenders, of course he lost the ball all the time and then made damn much space on his defending post, LOVELY!

Take up Jaume Costa from Mestalla or Ximo Navarro on the RB, they're good players with interesting talent. Otherwise I like that Jesus Gamez we're interested in but with Fernando, he will talk too damn much as with K9 and totally fúck the situation and raise the player's value because of his talks :wallbang:
Our both fullbacks tried very hard going forward but produced no end products. With all those overlapping runs, wing plays, and crosses, we should play Moro or Zigic.

I hope Emery saw Moretti's inability in attacking. It's time for Del Horno to step in the starting eleven, especially when playing defensive teams like Recre, Racing etc.
Angulo is a mystery. One that we can't fathom. Lay it off already.

73% control is nothing if we can't score. Away games asked for efficiency imo, which we lacked a lot since Emery's charge.

Moretti is always useless attacking but we can't ask 8 or 7 people to attack. I still think Mata/Vicente+Villa is more than enough to cover left wing, provided some decent striker, unlike Angulo.
Del Horno has more to offer going forward, and we need someone like Morientes or Zigic in away games because we need someone who can convert the chances to goal, we need good finishers, Angulo and Joaquin are shit in that department, Angulo is shit anyway, so its not his fault.
imagine if we played Barca instead of Recreativo.
the good thing is Emery always knows what is wrong with the team especially if they just drew to a team likely to be in a relegation battle. next few matches we are going to win, hopefully if we have the right squad to play.
this wouldnt have been a problem if Silva is playing
Don't worry guys, we've still yet to have a game this season where we've fcuked up. Compare us to our rivals especially after the two nobs and we've been far more solid than them.
Yes I wouldn't trade any of the work Emery has done with our team for any of our rivals, we are established at the back (it was so weird to seeing us concede again, I taught we were immune to that by now :pp) and we're not bad going forward.

But he has to fix a few details like getting the ball more to our forwards; dropping Angulo on his ass and playing any of Morientes, Mata or Zigic upfront.

Did you finally find a torrent? :pp

I agree with that and no one has defended Moretti here more than I have (jokingly or un-jokingly), but I taught he was horrible yesterday. Especially going forward.

He should've also been more tight on his marker, for the goal we conceded.

Yeah most of the possession was the back four and the midfield four passing the damn ball around (I'm not gonna say it wasn't entertaining though :horny:), Recre put eleven men behind the ball and we couldn't find a way through; so much so Villa had to come back to the midfield a lot. We need to be quicker with passing the ball forward, to we set up more opportunities to score.

Miguel was fcuking gash. IIRC, the goal and every other attack we were on the receiving end of were his fault.
Maybe his only bellow par game all season, and it wasn't really that bad but the guy can't shoot for shit :howler: He constantly gets in those goal scoring positions, but he just can't convert even if his Cigars depended on it.

We could've won last night had he converted that last chance, and Unai has got to ask him to practice more on his shooting at training.

I will catch the Sevilla-Malaga match later. I've only seen him about once before, how's his attacking and defenidng skills?

I've been saying that a long time, they could've benefited from Joaquin's crossing, who by the way still looks clueless down the middle but quite dangerous on the wing.

I hope Emery saw Moretti's inability in attacking. It's time for Del Horno to step in the starting eleven, especially when playing defensive teams like Recre, Racing etc.
From what del Horno has shown so far, he's probably worse than Moretti going forward. He has to step up, that spot is so easy to take, if he got his head out of his Horny arse for once.

Angulo is a mystery. One that we can't fathom. Lay it off already.

I'd start this:

Joaquin ------------------------- Mata

Morientes -- Villa​

With Vicente coming on later for El Moro.

Poll added.

Only two players worthy I think, and my vote goes to Renan.

Fernandes was awesome too after a few bad passes in the beginning, and I feel we could've won if Unai kept him and Baraja on.
pablo just needs more time to play to get on form,let him start,unai...

I'd say that he has both things really, he's fast to attack but still doesn't go crazy in defence by missing positions etc. He has alot of potential really and shouldn't go unnoticed. He's young also and would fit in our damn young defence with Renan, Alexis and Albiol :D
