Well.. I though we should have a thread to discuss our season so far and what we expect for the next six months.
Here's how we've done so far:
La liga:
Games Played: 16 Won: 8 Lost: 5
Drew: 3 Points: 27 out of 46
Goals Scored: 23 Goals Against: 15 Position: 5th :neutral:
Leading Goalscorers: Villa 8 ; Morientes 6 ; Angulo 3 ; Vicente 3
CL: Qualified first. Next opponent Inter.
Kings cup: Won a couple games or something.. next opponent Getafe.
====================================
Well.. we are 10 points behind Sevilla, so we have to keep our title hopes on a hold for atleast a couple of months. 5th is not such a bad position considering the number of injuries we suffered in the first half of the season.
In the second half of the season we'll be recovering Del Horno, Moretti, Marchena and possibly Gavilan and Edu. If we get those guys back and Joaquin and Ayala hit top form we'll somewhat have a chance to stay close to the leaders. Who knows? We might be contenders again in a couple of months
I'll definetly be happy if we just got a CL spot this year.
In the final 16 of the CL, we are definetely a match for Inter on paper but they got their shit together nowadays and we must get some form before facing them. I know in the knock out stages of the CL, form doesn't really matter but confidence does, so AMUNT!
We have home advantage so if we beat them, we can use that advantage to take us far in the competion.
The Copa may only be the realistic chance we have of winning silverware this season. Flores takes this thing seriously so I hope we get it.
So unless someone decides to throw a coin at the ref, I think we'll do just fine in that tournament :howler:
