In typical Sevilla fashion, we still have a shot at finishing 4th in this last match of the season. We need both Valencia & Getafe to lose though. Athletic can also take 6th spot from us, but need a draw to stay in 7th and qualify for the EL. Our final lineup looks like this:
Sarabia was originally in the squad, and probably in the starting XI, but has been a last minute omission. Reasons are still unclear at the moment. Rog & Amadou together in midfield should be interesting. Tough match ahead with key players missing, so really need the RSP for this one.
They say a draw has been agreed but I don’t believe it, the bookmakers have the draw at 7-2 which are pretty good odds, and they know what’s happening.
Sarabia with a gut problem, intestinal flu is the medical verdict, but it might be a gut problem.
Sevilla are really disorganized and don’t have many ideas but Rog is OK and Vidal active and implicated, they really need to step up a notch to overcome Athletic. What worries me is that Athletic will march straight through the middle while Sevilla are attacking, we’re OK defending but look exposed when we go on the attack.
Thanks to Rog, who converted defence into attack in one touch and pass, we caught Athletic and WBY scores on the rebound. Unfortunately I had struck an agreement with the wife that if Sevilla were winning at half time, I would wash the dishes.
