Another great three points. Thought we largely controlled the game and deserved the win.
Letâs be honest,10 points from five games is a dream start. We for now at least are above Real and đ© in third!

A great result and an improvement from our results against Valencia over the past few seasons. A great header by Iglesias, an upgrade on Juanlu so far five games in. Excellent

A good time to play valencia given their manager will now get the boot.

I know it of course wonât work out like this but we are currently on target for 76 points this season. 
But last night again backs the point I made a few weeks ago before the season starts, like the Espanyol game these are the games we need to be taking points from. Teams in and around us, not losing 4-0 to Levante and 3-1 to Alaves and then hoping we can steal a point against Barcelona, Real Madrid etc.
Do the hard work against the teams you wouldnât want taking points against other teams, give yourself a cushion over potential ârelegationâ rivals. It is far too early in the season, and injuries, suspensions will build up, but we have started the season far better than I am sure anyone on here would have expected. Looking at the 5 games we have played I expect most would have had us down for about 5 points by now, the fact we have double that is marvellous, and gives us a bit of wriggle room in a sense.
Our next five is a funny set of games⊠Winnable ones against Depor, Levante and Osasuna broken up by Barcelona and Real Madrid. If we can take 5 points from those 5 games, we are still in a very good position. 6+ would be a huge bonus for us.

We might be doing well at the moment, but we are still very much in a relegation battle until the points on the board later in the season say otherwise. The quicker we can get to 35-40 points, the easier we can breathe in a sense, and the further up the table we can look, potentially upper mid table on the cusp of the European places.

I agree.
We have started well but we need to stay grounded as things can change fast. As you say, we have Barca and Real to come and Depor are flying high right now so that will be a difficult game.
On the surface we seem to have a better squad than last season and Iâm hopeful that we can steer comfortably clear of relegation and even push for European places.
However the first goal is to ensure survival as that currently is the reality of the clubâs situation and has been for the last few seasons now.

Him getting the boot is long overdue and you may actually have done us a solid there. I didnât watch the game but the consensus on Valencia forums was that both teams are a shadow of what they once were and neither was that great but the win for Sevilla was deserved and you probably should have had a first half penalty. 10 points from 5 is a really solid start and from there itâs a case of push on to 40 and see how high you can get above that. You donât need me to tell you that the squad depth is lacking, but if you can continue to take advantage of opponents misfortunes, who knows?

Just looked at all the La Liga DMâs and I can safely say beside the big 3 (Barca, RM, Atletico), and on par with Pape Gueye of Villarreal, we have the best DM in the league (Fofana) this season, all aspects and especially physicality which is making a huge difference.
So we shouldnât be underestimated, though I think the real tests will be against Depor and Barca in the coming days.
Depor - how we play and approach the game with a full team against a tricky side that is ambitious this season
Barca - how we play and approach the game vs. arguably the best team in the world for the moment
