This match is not particularly important.
if we somehow, miraculously, took all 3. that’d be awesome.
away at Valencia is obviously going to be one of the hardest games of the season. maybe we can use it as motivation to get our first back to back wins since 1983. or whenever it was.
somehow, in this insane season, that would actually put us within 2 of Europa and within 4 of CL.
of course, the loss would leave us just 5 out of relegation…
Imho the team must not think about champions league, rather about finding some form of winning consistency, one game at a time.
This match is a great opportunity for the side to build on the positives of last match’s game Reyes on the left, Navas on the right,Rakitic n Medel in the middle.
Vamos mi SEVILLA!
Watching Armenteros tear it up today against RM is making me wish we had him in Perotti’s place. Instead we have Manu, who isn’t bad, just not great.
Great goal by Valencia. Ball-watching on our end. 26′
MEDEEEELLLL GOOOOLLLL!!!
I am absolutely loving this Medel who scores goals. Also, Navas cross was pretty good (commentator described it as ‘super-peligroso’)
At the same time, i wish our forwards were scoring…
GOOOOOOLLLLL!!!!!!!
GARY MEDEL DIVING HEADER!!!! 36′
Cross from Navas, misdirection header from Rakitic, Medel finds space to head it across the keep into the far post. Great timing. We were starting to show more life, and there it is.
Sevilla is owning the ball now, pinning Valencia back.
HUUYY Kanoute can’t score from point blanc after Negredo plays back to him
How did Kanoute not score there???? 44′
HT. Only saw the last 10 mins but they were pretty good
Great character leveling from a goal down in the Mestalla.
Negredo played through, cuts inside and then gets tackled. Really thought we were gonna score there
Reyes off for Manu 59′
One of Reyes best games since coming back
Navas one on one with the keeper n decided to cross. He needs to shoot those.
Really like Palop’s jersey
GOOOOLLLLLLLL!!! NAVAAAAASSSS
20 minutes to hold on for a huge win. The goal came on a counter sped up by Raki, center to Kanoute who controls too far but reaches the ball to pass it across to Navas who was all alone at the back door.
Great counter from the left. About four passes.
Baba on for Negredo 73′
Did anyone from our side make the Spanish team?
Navas and Negredo
Thanks. They deserve to.
holy crap. hold on for ten minutes!
We are not in a time wasting mood but are looking for the icing. I like, just hope it doesn’t get us caught late
wow. cardiff-liverpool shootout.
Uh oh. Baba down. Doesn’t look good. 84′
Got a boot to the hip/groin area. Walks off ok, though.
mmm… looked painful for baba. hopefully that’s partially acting.
Trocho coming on for Rakitic 87′
good yellow from medel to prevent a counter. hopefully nothing comes from this free kick
About 2 straight minutes of possession. We are killing this off.
4 minutes added
4 extra
4 more minutes! Come on guys!
GAME OVER!
wow! awesome!
i only saw the last 15. how did we look before we just switched to defending?
great play by kanoute on the goal replay.
It was a pretty even match I would say. I didn’t see the first 30min, but when I turned it on we were taking more control. We were better in the second half until the goal, after which we sat back more.
Yeah pretty even the first half. Navas was spectacular, Reyes played really well. Negrado made some great runs.
woohoo great win! comeback on the road!
Totally forgot it was a comeback win. HUGE.
we finish the week 3 points from champs league. two from europa.
didn’t get to see any of this game, but my goodness what a fantastic result.
valencia hasn’t managed to beat us in la liga since august 30, 2009–opening day of the 09-10 season. our record against them and our relative positions in the final table the last several years says everything you need to know about sevilla’s quality (very good!) and their ability to turn that quality into victories in la liga (not very good!).
buzz kill.
negredo out for a month.
lets hope that Baba can step into that role and find the back of the net for us.
I was just about to ask about El Vallecano (hope it’s spelt right), I wish him a speedy recovery.
close. it’s actually spelled “NegreDOH”.
(just kidding, you got it right!). bummer for negredo that soldado had such a great game today…that injury might well keep him out of the euro now.
