That’s a header right there, beautifully put by Rakitic, who’s playing a good game in general.

Disagree with the commentator, I think we are playing fine. Whenever we are going forward, we are having an idea, and work well together with plenty of runs from everybody.

lets go. get a second before the half. knocking on the door, but would love to widen this margin given how spotty our defense has seemed today.

Agree, it’s about choosing your moment. And he did just run at defenders and lose it at the end there, but with his power and pace I would think he would be happy to run for the backline when there are no defenders to prevent him from doing so. Imagine Winger-Navas doing that in his prime, just to keep possession.

Nice 1st half! Osasuna are well organised and a tough side to face. They had a couple of chances but we defended well. We look decent going forward and creating some good chances.

If we manage the 2nd half well hopefully it will be better for us. As they need to commit more now and we can remain patient. We have the firepower on bench to change things as well to try get a 2nd goal or more.

We just have to stay alert on watch their dangerous counters. Let’s see what lope does 2nd half to try manage us through this tricky game.

Vamos sevilla!

I’m happy with that first half. No it wasn’t perfect but to be fair to Osasuna they made it difficult for us and you can see why they’ve started well in the league.

We created a couple of decent chances, Mir and Jordan having chances notably. Rafa should have scored his.

Great bullet header from Carlos and pushing for a second after that. Hopefully we can push on now and find a second goal to put the game to bed early on!

Yeah well… talking about prime that’s is not something Ocampos has seen for a hot minute. Unfortunately.

We are 90% rightwing tho, still a reoccuring problem but we largely know why…

Ocampos is always going with 120%, it’s easy to predict for defenders what he will do. If Ocampos would be calm most of the time and suddenly burst out a 120% play, he would be more effective I believe.

Ocampos has no idea what to do with the ball after the initial charge at the defender. If his move doesn’t come off, he hasn’t thought ahead about what to do or who to link up with, and the attack dies there. He needs to look for teammates more; it’s constantly been his problem.

Jordan has been great this half; popping up in good spots and delivered some sweet crosses. The midfield has had large spells where it’s had no idea how to get forward, but once we do, we seem to be threatening. Needs more creativity though, or else we’ll keep getting pushed back very easily.

Yeah for sure, well the second thought he has is A) maybe wrestle a bit try and try recover or B) go down and yell a bit. But atleast he is shying more away from Option B, which is a positive thing. Last year, this was his worst characteristic.

Any theories behind the sudden preppy Lopetegui? haha

He has infiltrated Monchi’s men under a fake name

Ref has been fine. Not reckless with cards even though we made some stupid charges. I think I read before some hate against del Cerro Grande, looking calm now.
