Fantastic win. Just before going to play lens. Look like lens lost 0-1 at home in a game they had 30 shots… better them than us.

Lukebakio and Dmitrovic won us the match. We played really well in the second half, especially from the 60th minute and onward.
There’s some light at the end of the tunnel, at last!
VAMOS!

Lukebakio has some Ousmane Dembele vibes. I think he will help us a lot up front this season along with Ocampos and Lamela.

I hope not, we’ve dealt with enough injuries already

Ocampos worked hard as well. Not everything came off but he’s such a menace for defenders. He helped us keep the pressure on and ultimately our dominance showed in the end.

Continuing the discussion from 23/24 - MD5: Sevilla FC vs Las Palmas:
Close enough to merit a spot in the #SevillaLookalikes thread

I meant in terms of skills, pace etc. - hopefully not the same luck with injuries.

We struggled some and got really lucky with a Bético ref not feeling like giving spot kicks.

And I don’t know why I dug up that photo of Pichón from the web when we’ve got this one!
Our boy Pichón!

Still crossing the line again and it could have gone really sour with different ref but it worked today and so did the majority of his plays luckily. He is that type of salesman not satisfied with having ripped off some one once but instead will keep selling you as much bullshit as he can.
Also forgot to add, but he starts screaming like a mental person at Rafa Mir when he overshot horribly himself. When whatever Rafa his position or running line was, which was already impossible because of the run of play, he wasn’t going to give it to Rafa Mir in the first place. Theatrical Lunatic.
Was he useful today and overall positive? Yes.

Wow. That was nervy at the end. Far from comfortable and not entirely convincing but we got the win and first points and that’s all that matters. Hopefully push on now and it gives us some confidence. We’re a work in progress.
Deserved the win. Las Palmas goalkeeper kept them in it. Thought they made it difficult for us though and play some nice football. Their main problem is a lack of quality in the final third but they’re not a bad side and I’ll be surprised if they don’t pick up some results soon.
Lukebakio with a well taken goal. He looks a player from what I saw.
Onto Lens midweek and hopefully get the Champions League off with a win.
Vamos!

Great analysis mate. Yeah there are a good footballing side and made us work for it. They made it uncomfortable but overall we dealt with it well.
We fought well and our quality shone through. You were right to keep some positivity as the new signings are showing good signs like Lukebakio, sow and Ramos.
We still got a couple of others to see. Pedrosa played decent too.
There are things to work on but that was better. We had much better intensity and it was fun to watch us. We showed we could defend and create chances.
It is still going to be a rocky ride but there are signs we can turn things around. On to Lens! Vamos!

Huge 3 points, and lots to take away from. Some good, some bad, but a step in the right direction. We all have a player we like to pick on, but they all worked hard and contributed to this win.
So refreshing to see the new signings, even Ramos. I think he blessed us with some Madrid magic in those referee calls cause i have no idea how LP didn’t get a penalty. I’ll shut up about it and keep it pushing, but his experience will be invaluable. That said, hopefully Bade learns to never try to head a ball going towards his feet.
I’m not sure if Sow & Rakitic will leave me with the upmost confidence in that transition defence, but it was a game where we could afford the risk. I think the pair will look much better once the team finds more synergy. We could play this exact lineup a few weeks from now and see a much improved performance.
And what an entrance by Lukebakio!! 
Looks very comfortable on the left, and damn near played like a second striker. I hope he makes that spot his, cause Ocampos looked so much more at ease when he returned to the right.
Onto da Chaaaampioooons!

Yeah Lukebakio looks really comfortable indeed, some great first touches. He looks really focused to, I feel we are in for something beautiful with him. Bit like how Lamela came on at the time.

Mendi wasn’t exactly thrilled though. Expressed concern over Dodi’s commitment to run.

Yeah he’s tempering him. Suso gets to not run since forever and got the same words while stil playing him.
Players like that you need to let them play. If you want 7 blind horses we should get more Ocampossus. Which for amusement purposes I would like to see, but it doesn’t make you better any bit.

Lukebakio looks the kind of player we have been crying out for since the departure of Ben Yedder.
Someone to get onto those rebounds.

we should also all appreciate Dodi’s AWESOME pass to YEN that almost became a goal before he scored himself. that was beautiful.

I know he didn’t score, but I thought Rafa was pretty good yesterday. He did some nice things holding the ball up and helping to create turnovers in our half.
