Celta deserve a win but that’s too damn soft to be a penalty, almost a diving.

If it had been Aspas up front at the end, that penalty would have been confirmed via better dark arts from Aspas.

My favorite thing about the end result there was that Celta has been saying they’re getting robbed all season and even organized a pitido (whistling?) against the refereeing during today’s match. This was a great example of how obsession over refereeing is a downward spiral that doesn’t do anything good for the team.

The non-call by VAR was the right call in two ways: First, because the shirt grab was the only real contact (Navas was clearly just trying to hold his arm to stop from getting pulled down), and second, because the Celta player only fell when he realized he couldn’t make it to the ball. So the ball wasn’t even in play.

Was really annoying to her the ESPN Deportes announcers repeat like 12 times that it was a hugely clear penalty, no doubt at all, couldn’t possibly be overturned, etc. I actually have a suspicion maybe they were watching on a tiny screen or something and couldn’t appreciate the shirt grab.

Obviously annoyed at the quality of play, annoyed at not winning. BUT. I will say, so many times we have been beating Celta and have it slip through our fingers. So while a win would have been nice, at least I feel some consolation in the fact that Celta got of the same medicine. Having it in the bag and watching it slip through your fingers.

Better start seeing upward progress from the Drawlonso boys in the derbi next weekend, or Diego better start packing his bags. Can’t climb the table averaging one point per game, even if one of those points was from Real Madrid.

I think no matter the CF we play, Ocampos will simply refuse to pass the ball. Even for a simple 1-2. I love Lucas, but that selfish play takes alot away from our attack. He isn’t the only one, cause Lukebakio & Lamela do the same thing. This is why i opt for Suso, who is more inclined to be a provider. I’d say the same for Oliver, but i can never find him on the pitch.

But let’s pretend all those attackers weren’t selfish, what do YEN or Rafa offer outside the box going forward? Our attacks are too predictable and we’re always looking for the overlapping fullback to receive and cross. That’s why i understand Alonso starting Mariano, cause there’s a chance he gives us something different. Problem is he hardly gets the service.

Also I guess it’s clear more than ever that Pedrosa should be the starter. Helps so much in getting us up the pitch and is a genuine threat outside the box with his pace & delivery.

Defensively, i got no idea what’s going on back there, cause we’re always leaving gaps somewhere. If it wasn’t for Nyland’s saves and Larsen’s point blank misses, this game woulda been long gone.

My conclusions, Bade is still in need of a partner and if Lukebakio doesn’t return from the sunken place, our season is doomed.

What about that youngster Zaragoza that plays at Granada? Streets are saying his release clause is at €14M.

3 things marked this match:

Lukebakio’s abysmal performance and stupid passing

YEN’s lack of celebration for the goal he scored - last I checked he didn’t play for Celta before, so what the fuck is that childish gesture?

Ref saved the night for us. The penalty was a 50-50 one where had it been against RM, Barca or Atletico it would’ve been a penalty 100%. Risky move from Navas there.
