That was extremely painful to watch and one could only think about Banega there. 99% goal (depending on Ocampos) but the killer pass from Banega (or an attacking-minded midfielder as you said) would absolutely happen.

I believe that our President declared the transfer window closed for Sevilla on Tuesday after the incorporation of Papu, but if need be I’m sure Monchi has a list prepared and we could step in if any player has a long term injury.

I think being injury prone and constantly battling muscular issues, not being able to play at full capacity for 2-3 games straight is quite a strong reason for us to bring a full back in.

What does Rekik offer going forward and does he provide security in defense? Don’t forget he finished the first half with 3 fouls and 1 handball not far from the box (on one free-kick we almost conceded a goal).

On the second penalty call I think the ref saw the ankle challenge and missed the kick to the knee, which I also missed until I saw from another angle.
Top quality analysis there from @Edinho, as always on the football, on the personal level, I’m not keen on the Papu dance but we need a clown in the dressing room and does the business on the field, we’re onto a winner.
I think the long balls were a bit wasted for lack of support to YEN, if O’Campos tucks in a bit closer might work better. As I said before I think Vidal was great today and if he continues the same … no problem.
