Nice corner from Óscar and volley from Munir. Decent save though.

Literally just saw Ocampos shaping to shoot and said for God sake don’t shoot (to funny looks from the wife!), thankfully he listened, and YEN in the right place to tuck it home. Thankfully!

Nice goal. Finally

Mark_L · November 28, 2020, 7:13pm

YEN! Fabulous play by ocampos! Our pressure pays off!

Ocampos deliver good play, finally.

SurreySevilla · November 28, 2020, 7:15pm

It’s actually quite easy to predict line ups and subs with Sevilla. I knew Munir was the one that would be sacrificed.

Mark_L · November 28, 2020, 7:18pm

YEN pace causing them problems! Good move by lopetegui to bring him on when he did!

SurreySevilla · November 28, 2020, 7:21pm

I take it Vaclik is injured given the short goal kicks and now DC taking them.

Edinho · November 28, 2020, 7:25pm

No early goal, but clean sheet secured.

TimSpence2 · November 28, 2020, 7:33pm

Have faith in YEN.

We shouldn’t win teams like Huesca we should destroy them, so there’s still a lot to do in development.

ChrisLail · November 28, 2020, 7:39pm

Granted, I don’t think we played very well today. We must not overlook Huesca’s defense. They drew 0-0 with Atletico earlier in the year. Giving up 1.5 goals per game, but that’s with the 4 goals given up to Real Madrid and Real Sociedad.

Edinho · November 28, 2020, 7:44pm

Which still supports @TimSpence2‘s point that we should have destroyed them.

ShendM · November 28, 2020, 7:51pm

Once a fluke always a fluke lol

ShendM · November 28, 2020, 7:52pm

I wouldn’t add any more to this.

SurreySevilla · November 28, 2020, 7:52pm

I cannot lie, yet again that game today was a real hard graft to sit and watch.

ChrisLail · November 28, 2020, 8:12pm

Are we the new Atletico?

ShendM · November 28, 2020, 8:30pm

I wish we were at this point, but I’m afraid we still don’t have the a-la Simeone winning mentality instilled. Also they often win and have won games comfortably when they are by far the better team (with 2 goals margin at least) while we don’t.

Mark_L · November 28, 2020, 8:30pm

I’d certainly take that right now haha!

Mark_L · November 28, 2020, 8:40pm

True point. We have a long way to go but are on the right track. I’m impressed with how we bounced back in the league. We now have 3 straight wins and back in the top 5.

We just need that consistency Atletico have and the killer instinct in the attacking third to kill off teams when we dominating.

In the first half we played decent but we didn’t have enough punch up front to punish them.

Having Kounde and Diego Carlos together is vital and fernando sitting in front is when we at our defensive best.

YEN is improving and starting to play with more confidence. He took his goal well but it was also due to the great work by Ocampos. I’m pleased to see that and his unselfish play to set YEN up.

It’s a big win and overall we have to be satisfied with our season so far with 10 points from 12 in champions league and already through and 16 points from 27 in la liga and in top 5 again.

I just hope we can remain consistent now and a win against Real Madrid next week would be a massive step forward. As we still need to beat one of the big boys under lopetegui in la liga. Hopefully it’s next week and we can push on more.

I do hope if the vaccine news continues to go well that maybe at some point in 2021 we can have the fans back as that would be awesome. Especially if we near the top places in la liga and with last 16 of champions league it would have the fans buzzing especially after last season Europa league and la liga success.
