A draw isn’t a bad result for us considering everything!

Bit of a sad state of affairs that this is a pretty good result
 team doesn’t look too thrilled with the outcome tho

Take of two halves marked by inexperience but also some promise?

Muy Valiente mi Sevilla. We were better footballwise in the second half but extremely fragile defensively, somehow Sampaoli pulled a rabbit out of the hat.

It’s still Lope ball though, the Navas Jordan Oliver triangle is null. The crosses and corners need a public enquiry. The forwards are totally useless with crosses so it makes sense to get the useless defenders up for corners.

And it still the Sharon Stone Syndrome, any way but direct, there is no ice-pick under the bed, get in there.

With our team in a sorry state, it gives me a bit of confidence we managed to at least get a point. But these are the sort of teams we should beat. I hope Sampaoli will make us play better against La Liga’s lower half, cause sometimes it really doesn’t take much. January has a very favourable schedule, and i hope we make the most of it.

It was nice to see a daring Acuña, who played a bit like his old self. Besides him, Lamela, Fernando & Bono, I need to see a different lineup. We are HURTING.

Onto Linares!

I can see us getting loads of draws in the upcoming games. We really are the draw specialists.

I will take finishing 17th to 14th if offered it now.

Second half performance merited a point. On the face of it in our situation we’ll take it and only goal difference from safety. We easily could have gone on and got the win but a draw probably the fair result.

Some big games coming up. Personally I think we really should be targeting three wins out of Getafe, Cadiz and Elche at home. Girona away you’d take a draw.

Next four games should yield 10 points minimum if you ask me.

Acuña was back to his former self. Great game. What a shitty managed game by Sampaoli. Carmona should have been bench at the half. His ball watching led to the goal plus the dumb challenges. Why start both forwards?

Not sure why Carlos didn’t start and not sure why he didn’t see the Carmona slow motion train wreck as it happened

Kike isn’t as reliable defensively, so we were kinda stuck with the 2 youngsters beside Gudelj. Lucky not to concede more. We should be free from ever fielding those 3 together again, now that Nianzou and Bade should be available by the next league match.

Also, this wasn’t the game to bring on Carlos. We got a Copa match coming up, so that should fare better for him. But I still don’t think he’s ready cause he was kinda getting manhandled in the last one.

In fairness, who did we have to put in for him?

Drop Navas back and go back to your normal formation,or drop Fernando back and put Ortiz in the middle if you wanted to keep the same shape.
