Almeyda with a dilemma on his hands. Does he keep attacking or shut up shop to preserve the one goal lead?
To be honest the current squad do not have the quality to do either convincingly. Aside from the fortuitous goal the team did not pose any real threat. And defensively they look suspect even with a three centre back setup, Alaves broke through on the right flank numerous times and Akor probably spent the same amount of time defending as attacking.
Need to keep an eye on Suazo too, he’s lost a few duels and his first reaction each time is reach out and push players, with this whistle and card happy ref you’re just inviting him to take action.
We looking more comfortable today defending and opposed to the games against Girona and Mallorca, Alaves does not seem capable to just change gear and create chances as they see fit.
Once again a game is made difficult for us bcos of a red card. I have seen quite a few Sevilla matches this season and we NEVER get decisions our way, always against.
