MD32: Sevilla vs Girona

Another chance, this time Acuna. Hits it over the bar. 71’

miracle we got a free kick.

why no yellow there? That’s a scoring chance and Romero’s like 15th foul.

Has Bryan even scored a single goal since he arrived? Always looks dangerous, never converts

Stupid short corners. Put that up and let YEN go attack it.

A bunch of dead legs out there I think. Welp, needed this one.

What the hell was the point of Rafa Mir today?

Some days it’s just not your night

Nothing worked tonight. Fatigue is the most important factor that contributed to this, mixed with a lack of decent approach to the match. Girona beat us fair and square… deserved 3 points for them.

On to Espanyol - but if the players get into the pitch with a similar mindset then it’ll be tough.

Shame about the result. We had an outside chance to push for Europe through the league. It’s probably gone now but overall we played well. Sadly these games happen but we move on. Vamos!

Poxy Girona are like a bogey team to us I swear. Used to be Leganes.

Surprised no one is talking about the fairly clear offside on the killer second goal.
Girona’s no.8 stood offside when Riquelme took his shot and the no.8 (Tsygankov) then passed the ball for Castellanos to score.
It is clear to see on replays - why was VAR not involved there?

Overall, I felt that this was perhaps the first game that Mendilibar got his selection and timing of subs a bit wrong. Starting with not yet fully fit/ready Papu and with still searching Gil weakened the team imo. Lamela and Rafa Mir should have come on earlier to be able to influence the game; if Rakitic was punished for disobeying the manager’s request not to go to the Feria, perhaps Oliver should have been the option?

Seems the Federation gave us a couple of games favours after our referee whinge up, and are now back on course for operation fuck Sevilla.

The trouble is Montiel headed him the ball instantly making him not offside.
