10 mins and that’s all folks… like the Looney Tunes motto
Shit players, shit coach and a shit attitude towards games.
Fans do not deserve this. But again, singing ‘directiva dimission’ will not do anything at all. Total revolution is needed and the fans are sleeping. We can’t do nothing behind keyboards from here and we are what… 10-15 active people in the forums?
The Sevillistas in Sevilla should radicalize their actions. Don’t let pathetic incompetent crooks ruin this beautiful game for this beautiful club.
What is more worrying is that this state will inevitably breed ‘content/unambitious fans’, who will be ok even if we go the Deportivo La Coruna route into the Spanish football abyss.
P.S. Atletico beat us by not giving more than 30% today after a tough mid-week CDR match vs. Barca.
I don’t think so. He just came in very early in the match (10th min or so) and naturally had to be subbed out due to not being able to play 90 mins in a demanding match.
Beside 1-2 good plays he didn’t do much and is very inconsistent anyway.
The question is who do we get instead? Which great/promising coach joins us? Especially when we look forward to next season with an absolutely crushing wage allowance.
Complain about the sh*t management all you want, but we’re not going to get much better than GP the way things are.
I’m not saying he’s doing a good job, but honestly I don’t see anyone else who can do a better job joining us at the moment.
I feel a bit sorry for Lukebakio. He’s been carrying us all season. He looked so frustrated on there and I don’t blame him.
I’m just so glad he kept fit because if we stay up which we still should he’s done most of it on his own.
It will be difficult to keep a player like him next season when we are in such a state. He is a quality player who will want to go to a more ambitious club, who offer more money and more chance to progress and maybe win things.
I totally agree. We owe everything to him this season. I honestly think without him we would definitely been relegated this season. It so sad what it has come to now!
We used to be a team most clubs feared and now teams come to RSP just expecting to win or at least not lose.
I’m not confident against teams like Valencia, alaves, leganes who all fighting for their lives, will play their best 11 as not in any other competitions. It going to be a fight till the end.
I’m glad we on 36 and not 30 right now. We probably scrape over the line but it a really tough watch!
Issac seemed very disinterested coming on and his lack of will to track back helped cause the winning goal. A bit of a conflict of events there. Agoume having to leave early from injury… Sow just came back on and wasn’t 100 percent trying to get over to close down and an out of position slow Saul not closing down either.
I like how you used Valencia and leadership and vision in the same post! I know what you’re saying but I wouldn’t use Valencia as a model for anything except disastrous clueless short-termism (and I don’t think your board is quite as bad as that yet.) It was obvious just a few games into the season that Baraja had to go but our penny pinching board held on and let things get worse. It was only after we lost to 10-men Valladolid and drew with totally out of form Espanyol and Alaves that they finally pulled the plug.
Overall problem is that it’s hard to be successful when the game is rigged and the deck is so blatantly stacked in favour of 2 clubs, leaving the scraps of a single Champs League place to anyone who doesn’t play in El Clasico or Metropolitano stadium. If you get that 4th place you can at least upgrade the squad to close the gap but you’re still walking a big tightrope as the extra games they’ve added (again to give even more advantage to RM and FCB) tire out teams and then when you miss UCL, you’re screwed as you’re stuck with overpaid players. Sevilla managed to buck those odds for years with Monchi but eventually it only takes a poor transfer window and everything crashes down. Unless there’s a radical change to a fairer model it’s tough to win “the other league” consistently.
Today we saw the results. I don’t think you played badly, but AtM have a better bench and letting their players have free runs and shots like that is asking for trouble. Looks like a disappointing mid-table finish, but a case of trying to pick up in the summer window.
Sometimes short term fixes in the club are extremely necessary and that’s what we need now.
It worked very well in the past for us. Then comes the vision and leadership etc… so I wouldn’t qualify the same for a short term fix, but it is needed asap.
Police everywhere today at Sevilla match. Things are getting really ugly and them board of directors aren’t safe. If the other shareholders can’t get them out then the Sevilla fans might. They had to be escorted to safety.
Told you it was all going to kick off after the game. The fans even got the game stopped for 5mins during the 2nd half. Feelings towards the board are running very high.
It was not only thr biris protesting either, but the whole stadium. Even those in the posh seats joined in.
I didn’t go to the game and I didn’t watch it on TV either, I made some beer in the micro-brewery (Kitchen). I switched the radio on briefly and Sevilla were a goal up but Atletico had 4 shots on goal inside a minute, I turned it off. It’s too predictable, we’re playing the wrong system.
Friday is Viernes de Dolores and we face Valencia who are 3rd top based on their 2025 form and it’s rumoured that Pimienta already has his head on the chopping block. I personally think it’s almost guaranteed that a defeat forces the directors to finish him. I think some of the players are thinking the same.
On current form, you are more likely to lose on Friday, but the question is what would replacing Pimienta now rather than in the summer achieve? You’re unlikely to reach either Europe or be relegated and it may turn out that firing him is just a smokescreen for the board to shift the blame for their poor decisions (of which his contract extension was one.) Also, who replaces Pimienta? There’d be more options in the summer. On the other hand, if the players have lost faith, which looks to be the case shaking things up can’t hurt, depends who steps in. What’s the deal with the termination fee?
