MD23: CA Osasuna vs Sevilla FC (21/22)

@DanSFC I love Sevilla, but before the club and brand take ahold in the English speaking world, there needs to be some excitement. This first half is what all my soccer loving friends hate about the game and it is unfortunately “typical” Sevilla or Lopetegui-style football. I know you do not have control of the style of play, but if you ever get a chance to voice concerns, maybe mention attacking football is more exciting than a defensive slogfest. Just my .02 cents.

Terrible first half. Nothing clicking at all. YEN still doesn’t look fit to me. We struggling to play out or link the play.

Corona did decent first half when he came on. Some nice skill we showed which is a positive.

Bono saved us again. Martial trying to get involved but it hasn’t been easy for him as he not received the ball much.

The only positive is we didn’t concede. We look lost for ideas going forward and not even great in possession tonight. If nothing changes 2nd half we will lose here. Lope needs to get into them at halftime and make a couple of early changes.

We really don’t look like a team in 2nd place at all. Losing ocampos before the start was a blow too. Bad luck with him and then montiel getting injured didn’t help either but still this isn’t good enough.

I hope for a reaction 2nd half. Vamos sevilla!

I agree but I don’t think we can complain about it at this point.

One good thing to remember is Osasuna have only won twice in last 13 games and tend to concede late goals, so I think 70 mins on they will tire and hopefully we can capitalise on this, would have been ideal time to bring on En-Nesyri though…

Absolutely nothing, to be honest

Nothing. We haven’t had a shot on goal yet. Embarrassing 1st half by us.

Pain. Level 7 on the scale.

Why did I expect us to be much better since we got a lot of players back… I guess not

What would be interesting is if results go south and we keep playing this boring football.

Lope might find himself under some pressure.

Another thing I don’t really get is playing OT out wide left when we have Munir who is more natural and can also become an inverted winger to drift in and support the attack, this would also drag a player inside to create space for Acuna.

Great run Tecatito, found with a good pass. Free kick good position. This is what we play for…
