A win tomorrow vs. RM would mean a lot for us, still early to say anything or even dream as jolazo said it still feels wrong, we’re not used to it, but you never know!
RM is wounded and we have to put the nail in their coffin, or they’ll come back even stronger after beating us. Same with Barca, they’ll probably sack Valverde soon and might come back stronger with a proper coach.
I agree with both you guys! It feels to good to be true. Normally the Sevilla way is when we on verge of something special or dare to dream we then screw it up. Therefore you’s are right, I’m not getting carried away just yet!
However, a win tomorrow would be massive. To think we would be 5 and 6 points ahead of Real Madrid and Barça respectively would feel amazing. Let’s hope the team can deliver it! It would be nice to cement top spot tomoz!
It’s good that Granada are up there at the top, Granada’s manager Diego Martinez is ex Sevilla. and we are the only team that’s beaten them. Great for Andalucia who have Almeria and Cadiz first and second place respectively in the second division.
Always keen to see the clubs of Andalucia in the top flight because it means less travelling for the players and fans.
A big game for us tonight! We need a win and good performance! I’m still confident we can have a good season but after 2 straight losses it’s up to the team and manager to show what they made of now!
:poop: are absolutely fucked. Their transfer policy was absolutely diabolical in the Summer, and now they are really going to struggle, too many rubbish players in too many positions.
Joel Robles - Probably the worst GK in the league.
RB - Barragan or Francis not good enough.
LB - Pedraza not a patch on Junior
William Carvalho - Absolutely overrated donkey.
Juanmi - Poor striker.
Then the squad padded out with shit like Emerson, Javi Garcia, Lainez, Kaptoum. And then the main Striker they signed has spent most of the season injured.
Betis are playing the same system as under Setien, and once again, despite the nice football and the amount of possession, have no bite.
It’s like the peacock who extends his plumage to impress the peahen and she says ‘nice, but lets see your willy’. Forgive the coarseness but it’s the perfect analogy.
Now the question is how many minutes after the press conference will they sack the manager?
It does seem strange but then I kind of have an explanation I think, given it happened in the penalty area portion of the pitch the infringement is a penalty.
I played a League Cup game about 3 or 4 weeks ago now where my team was awarded a penalty, which at the time everyone was confused about. Basically what happened was the oppos keeper and Centre Back had a barney over a previous goal and when they had a moment of miscommunication again they started pushing and shoving one another.
Turns out as this was violent conduct, albeit against a team mate, as they were having said altercation in the penalty area, the referee had no alternative but to award us a penalty.
I am guessing whilst different, this must fall into the same category. If the lad had touched the ball in the corner between the side line and penalty box it would have probably been awarded as a FK.
The other thing to add to what I put above is that if the substitute had been from VfL Bochum (Red), it would of course have been a Free Kick to Holstein Kiel (Blue).
