CDR - Sevilla FC v Valencia CF [20/21]

SurreySevilla · January 25, 2021, 2:30pm

Cannot wait for this… The chance to progress further in the Copa del Rey against a well below par Valencia team, surely we shall be lacking our lips with anticipation. Thankfully for those of us in the UK this will be shown on Premier Sports 1, from 18:00.

Not sure of the format mind you, if it is anything like the Cornella v Barcelona game I saw on there last week, there wasn’t even commentators, which kind of took away from watching it to be totally honest, but we shall see.

How strong do we go squad wise? I cannot see us making many changes now as the Copa surely takes a bit more priority with the League gone.

I think we should play the first team, I have never seen a more perfect opportunity to win some domestic silverware than this season

Shendm2 · January 26, 2021, 9:04am

Agreed

Joshboyle14 · January 26, 2021, 2:22pm

La Liga tv reporting that De Jong will likely start tomorrow

Shendm2 · January 26, 2021, 3:00pm

I’d like to see YEN start for continuity, but it’s ok since it’s CDR.

SurreySevilla · January 26, 2021, 3:18pm

I’d start LdJ to be honest.

SurreySevilla · January 26, 2021, 4:02pm

I see Vaclik and Escudero are back training.

ChrisLail · January 26, 2021, 4:16pm

LDJ has to get a run out. What I don’t want to see is YEN and LDJ on the pitch at the same time with YEN playing wing.

ShendM · January 26, 2021, 5:32pm

Now that wouldn’t be good

sevillafan · January 26, 2021, 9:19pm

I don’t remember when LDJ scored his last goal.

TimSpence2 · January 26, 2021, 9:39pm

Don’t want to see YEN injured, give him a rest and perhaps last 15 minutes if needed.

ChrisLail · January 26, 2021, 9:51pm

I don’t remember LDJ’s last shot on goal.

User1115 · January 26, 2021, 11:35pm

LDJ has only scored 1 goal since October, and it was in the CDR.

SurreySevilla · January 27, 2021, 10:40am

Squad for tonight, 20 players called up, the missing.

• Tomáš Vaclík (Injured - Knee)
• Joris Gnagnon (Not selected)
• Óscar Rodríguez (Injured - Hamstring)
• Sergio Escudero (Injured - Arm)
• Diego Carlos (Covid-19)
• Papu Gómez (Not sure if just not selected or if we signed him too late to be included)

ShendM · January 27, 2021, 11:16am

Probably too late to be included for Papu, he’ll most likely get called up for the match against Eibar.

If we don’t sell or loan out Gnagnon and sell Mudo there will only be potential disruption in the team. We don’t need either at this point.

SurreySevilla · January 27, 2021, 5:15pm

The line ups. I think it is fair to say from Valencia’s they aren’t seeing this game as their priority then?

Edinho · January 27, 2021, 5:29pm

Strong XI. Lots of respect for Valencia who will def park the bus this game.

Among the attackers, i think De Jong plays best with Munir. He’ll also have Navas’ crosses.

ChrisLail · January 27, 2021, 5:29pm

Wow - surprising given this is their only chance of a trophy + only chance of making any money next season from UEFA. (assuming Copa still get through to Europa, I can’t remember if they got rid of that.)

ChrisLail · January 27, 2021, 5:30pm

Can Papu play right back? He might have to if we fuck around and hurt Navas. haha
