M23 Sevilla FC v Huesca [20/21]

Heavy rotation on this one, practically the B team with LDJ, Munir, Rekik, Gudelj and Sergi Gomez.

Fearing a loss, but wishing for a win!

Let’s hope we can still get a win. I agree though we taking a risk with many changes at once. It gives an opportunity to others though and let’s hope they step up.

Understandable from lopetegui though after the tough copa match with Barca and Dortmund next week in champions league. I agree with him and it shows he trusts his squad. He’s right to rotate and we are playing the bottom club. Let’s hope we can still do the job and we can bring on the others if we are struggling. Vamos!

They will be on in the second half and we’ll just bore them to death in the first half. I reckon, first subs will be Suso YEN and Koundé plus Fernando later if there are no injury complications.

[EDIT what am I thinking, Jordan will have to come on to liven up the midfield]

Yeah I agree. If we can hang in first half and even 0-0 not too bad. Then we can make the necessary changes to hopefully win the game.

I’m never happy when a team makes this many changes for a league game that we still need to win.

My view is we play the strongest possible team, get a few goals in front and then make changes from there.

Hope it works out !

Fingers crossed! We have a lot of squad depth so I trust the boys on pitch to do a good job. Vamos!

The contract between dark and bright part is eye soring.
La Liga needs to up its game on broadcasting.

Man what a hell of a run, a strong run, and then to put on that strong of a shot. Too bad Oliver was just a bit too slow.

Lot’s of good stuff coming from Papu but the team still not clicking perfectly.

We played okay. Not at our fluid best but that’s to be expected with all the changes. Got to credit Huesca keeper and their defence too. They did well.

I thought at start the 2nd half would be key to our chances of winning. In first half at least we still level and not a goal down and still in a position to potentially win it. We need to make the right changes at right time to try win this. We have some firepower on bench that can help us out.

Hopefully we can still win this but will be tough. Vamos!

I’m watching the Spanish language channel for BeIn Sports today and I keep getting the same commercial:
Power69 - Some sexy girl in a leopard outfit keeps saying some spanish and then “Power 69” in a perfect English accent. haha

Rakitic has been Sevilla’s best player in the first half just by his availabity to receive from any position, defence or attack, he’s been there on hand to receive a pass. Papu probably the most creative.

LDJ the worst, didn’t even react to a rebound from the goalkeeper. Oliver has overhit or mis-directed every pass, mis-hit his shot and is a close run second to LDJ.

As predicted 0-0, I hope we haven’t been too conceited predicting that the changes will solve the game in the second part.

I must be on the wrong channel :rofl: :rofl:

That’s the problem. LDJ never anticipates the rebounds, he is always far too slow to react.

If only we had Ben Yedder

Looks like YEN for LDJ, Jordan for Oliver and Escudero for Rekik.

De Jong seems lazy. You would think a guy that lost his starting spot would work hard.

Yeah it’s good to make them early in the half. Gives us the chance for the subs to make a big impact.

Subs need to be made ASAP. I expect to see some around the 60 minute mark
