[Knoert]

Why do we play these matches actually, it's in the middle of the season...

No Jonás or Muniain?

 

[Iribar]

Because Caparrós wants the non-regulars to keep the competitive tension, don't know if it works though. And also, to watch beautiful small pitches I guess...:tongue:

FT: Zamudio 2-2 Athletic

1-0 Zulueta
1-1 Garmendia
1-2 Own goal
2-2 Zulueta

Zulueta... Caparrós sign him!

 

[mellansnack]

Why doesn't Lopez play anymore? I would much rather like to see him than Aduriz, and if we want two strikers, instead of Gabilondo....

 

[Iribar]

Don't know, I also prefer David instead of Gabilondo in the left.


Btw, this club has some weird misteries... Del Horno got injured last week's wednesday, "4 weeks out" according to the doctors. Well, yesterday he was already training normally, and is ready to play vs Valladolid if Caparrós wants. For once the new is positive I won't complain, but you can't deny this isn't strange.

BTW, Javi Martínez is doubt for an overload.

 

[Iribar]

Players called by Caparrós:

Armando, Aranzubia.
Iraola, Aitor Ocio, Ustaritz, Amorebieta, Del Horno, Koikili.
Muñoz, Javi Martínez, Garmendia, Orbaiz, David López, Gabilondo, Susaeta.
Ramos, Aduriz, Llorente.

Kidnapped: Gurpegi.
Injured: Iraizoz, Tiko.
Out: Expósito, Zubiaurre, Prieto, Murillo, Cuéllar.

 

[Finrod_HELLAS]

None of our current players has scored against Valladolid.

But this must be a game that can't be lost.The defense is strong and half of Valladolid's goals are missing.

And Ramos is again on the squad?

Minute 10: Athletic 1-0 Valladolid

Bakalao scored by Gabilondo with a header, assisted by Llorente, who made a very good play on the right wing.

[mellansnack]

Gabilondo in the 5th minute

Good that Joseba Llorente doesn't play and I win money on a draw. I never win money

 

[Iribar]

Joseba Llorente also couldn't play in our game in Valladolid (back then for red card vs Racing, today for 5th yellow vs Racing). In Valladolid some say he does it on purpose because he could play for Athletic next season, actually he was asked about it in press conference and got really mad.

Appart from the goal there have also been 2 weak penalties to Aduriz not called. Ok, not too clear, but if they would have been against us...

 

[Iribar]

Great save by the panther Armando to Jonathan Sesma!!

 

[Finrod_HELLAS]

A not so nice goal from Gabilondo? How come?

Btw, every time someone complains about a player, that player scores in the coming games!

 

[Ally1991]

We really need to win this today,excellent start. Llorente is playing well recently,lets hope it continues.

Eurosport only lists 6 subs, I take it Aitor Ramos is on the bench??

 

[Iribar]

Yes, Ramos is on the bench.

Bench: Aranzubia, Del Horno, Ustaritz, Muñoz, David López, Garmendia, Ramos.


Uyyyy!!!!!!!!!
Asenjo saves now brilliantly a header by Llorente!!!

 

[Iribar]

Now we're getting nervous and Valladolid starts tu push...

Typicall post fast goal fear in Athletic...:wallbang:

 

[Finrod_HELLAS]

Aupa Armando!

 

[Iribar]

Great cross from Llorente, Aduriz misses.:wallbang:
