A total 7 cantera players join the first team for our 2nd Copa Del Rey tie away in Mallorca, against 4th division side CE Andratx. Despite being suspended for the next league match, Fernando wasn’t selected, as well as Ocampos, along with the myriad of attackers & fullbacks on the injury list. Will Lopetegui give the fringe players a 2nd chance?

A few upsets today, so I hope the boys are focused tomorrow.
I expect for two of those youngsters to start, probably Ivan Romero and maybe Juanlu. I can´t imagine Lope not holding any main squad players behind for when we need a rescue plan like against Cordoba. Those Andratx lads in cup games will play the game of their lifetime, our job to beat them professionally.
I can´t remember a fun cup game/performance of recent years. And I don´t expect it here either, still only important thing is not get kicked out by a fourth divisioner, and if we do it´s always deserved.
I hope he starts a bunch of youngsters.
I do agree, Put in 5-6, it should be around Sevilla Atletico level. Then if the youngsters can’t break through. its a save bet to outclass them after 70 minute bringing Idrissi or Papu at those times, when Andratx will have some more sour legs. The real conditional and professional gap always starts showing more towards the end. And who knows we might even be ahead when Ivan Romero puts one in tonight, I have a feeling.
Wellp. Lope going almost full A team. Only Juanlu from those seven. Better show it on the pitch boys. Not too much resting and rotations. Showing up seriously tonight.
Dare I say we win 5-0. Rafa Mir with the hattrick and Idrissi and Rakitic chipping in as well.
Think he wants to get the job done first then we’ll see some youngsters
Yeah that’s the ultra safe bet. Bit of an extreme in my opinion, if there is a moment to give a bit more rest, its here. But it’s still fine, Lope really showing we mean business and it should do the job. Better safe than sorry.
I agree with this strategy. Try to get it won early and get the tie done. Then for the 2nd half he can bring more youngsters on to give them more experience.
Vamos sevilla!
I hate these multi purpose sports pitches with lines all over the place, I find it confusing at times.
BTW for those not watching we could easily been 1-0 down just now from a corner, we have been no threat to them at all so far
Not looking great finally speeding it up a bit.
That was a dangerous corner. Dmitrovic punched the ball away and it nearly deflected off of Andratx players face into the goal. Way too close.
God this angle and pitch makes it hard to watch
85% poss by Sevilla. Most of it sideways. This is worse than the Cordoba game.
What the @%!^, Ziggo Sport is airing a docu about Rakitic returning to Sevilla instead of the Sevilla game
Should be 1-0 for the home team. Missed a great chance.
Sevilla look worse than the pitch.
They certainly look more like scoring than us .
Why does the 2nd best team in Spain, known for playing possession-based football, have such trouble making it in the final third of an opposing team?
I had faith with this midfield, but it’s still the same old drab stuff. Jordan is at least trying to find some players thru the middle, Oliver is in and out, and Rakitic, well…
Similar to our opponents, our only chances are coming from crosses/set-pieces. Playing like a bottom-half side again.
Not sure what I’m finding worse, our performance, the pitch or the camera angle. CE Andratx have had the better chances and should be winning.
My local leisure centre’s astro turf is better than that pitch. Awful. Hard to watch this for quite a few reasons.
