I think Sampi is pulling us out of the abyss carefully, without a revolution in style but for sure I see improvements.
I think itās still very possible for us to end top 7. After the start we had this year, I would take that hands down
tough patch ahead though.

I have given up on the Europa Cup. Donāt get me wrongā¦I would like to see wins because it is moā money, but at this point, we need to focus our hurt and ancient players towards La Liga. In the summer we need to revamp the whole squad. We need to have conversations with a lot of our old playersā¦Fernando, Raciktic, Navasā¦ and say thank you, but it is time for you to move towards coaching. We need to bring in younger players.
We just donāt need a midweek game, injuries are still accumulating and players are playing with recurring injuries that need more rest time. The ideal solution is to get everyone fit but no chance of that. The only way to get European football is to finish top 6. Thereās no chance of that and neither will we win the Uefa so the best course of action is to make sure we survive in la liga.
PSV is just a distraction and more punishment at this moment.
Great to see us win again. A solid win with 2 great goals, nice football and solid in defence. On to PSV! Vamos sevilla!
Sadly this is true Tim.
Yāall of little faith!
51 points are still left on the table.
Iām certainly pretty confident, but not comfortable enough to dream of Europe.
Do you know what team had 24 points at this point in last yearās season, like we currently have?
Granada. Know where theyāre playing this season? Well, in Granada, duhā¦ But do you know who theyāre playing against? Burgos, Oviedo, Lugo, Ponferradina. Do I make my point?
Iām feeling better than I did in December, and while the FiveThirtyEight odds have gone down from over 16% likelihood of relegation to 7%, Iām still not too comfortable with 7%.
Give me 6-7 points out of the next three matches and I think Iāll sleep easier, but in spite of sitting in 12th, I donāt feel remotely comfortable being so few points ahead of relegationā¦
Another excellent home win against decent opposition who beat Real the week before. Four home wins now on the spin and the perfect way to bounce back from the Barca defeat. The first half particularly was great to watch. Gueye in midfield looks a real signing and as do Gill and Bade. I do hope we can work to keep them over the summer as theyāve made us a stronger team. Great to see YEN showing signs of form again also.
Four points clear now of the relegation zone. A bit of breathing space again. The improvement/revival after the World Cup break continues. Onto PSV in the Europa and then another big La Liga game away at Rayo which will be a tough one.
Letās keep pushing up that table. Vamos!
Last two home games Jordan doesnāt start and we have the games wrapped up by half time.
More of the same please.
I was impressed by Gueye last night he seems to read the game well and gets into space to attack.
At last with Bryan we have someone unafraid of running forward with the ball, great to see. Even the Suso-Navas combo on the right worked well at times.
Leave out Jordan and itās upwards and onwards.
Exactly, given how the fixtures are Iād really just let it go. Sure the money sounds enticing but given the precarious position of the club and only 10 points separating the 7th and 17th spot just focus solely on the league and rebuild for the following season. Going all out with elderly squad and risking injury to key players is not worth it.
