    Strange to see Llorente considering how well Rossi and Nilmar combined last week. Maybe he’s going for a more direct approach against a tough Osasuna side

  2. Trixie says:

    Osasuna probably isn’t happy to see Perez Burrull as the referee. to be honest, I’m not thrilled, either.

  3. Nick says:

    12′ Great cross there from Angel :/

  4. Nick says:

    15′ Capdevila completely asleep and lets Juanfran in to score the opener.

  5. Trixie says:

    0-1: Juanfran gets into the box unmarked and scored. Capdevila didn’t pick him up.

  6. Nick says:

    Have to say that Pires wasn’t exactly covering him either!

  7. Trixie says:

    That’s true, Nick. I don’t think Diego knew he was there, either.

  8. Trixie says:

    wow. Fabulous fingertip save by Diego!

  9. Nick says:

    Unbelievable save from Lopez!! Again from Pires not tracking back

  10. maddi says:

    Villarreal are making a 1-1 result look like absolute gold.

  11. maddi says:

    The fans are letting them hear it today. The whistles ring out with the long balls that go straight to the keeper.

  12. Trixie says:

    Osasuna is reminding me exactly why I dislike them so much. Twice now players of theirs have gone down faking injuries, but make a miraculous recovery when they get to the sideline.

  13. Nick says:

    Need Rossi and Ibagaza on pronto! No creativity there at all. Wouldn’t mind seeing Escudero either. Very poor first half.

  14. Kenez says:

    Fortunate that it is only 1-0 as Osasuna have consistently found space behind our back line. Very little threat to the Osasuna goal. Hope that Osasuna tire in the second half or perhaps Perez Burrell will give us a penalty.

  15. Nick says:

    Well I got 2 out of 3. Escudero for Pires and Ibagaza for Senna.

  16. Trixie says:

    Damn gutsy sub there. Rossi in, Angel out. 65th minute, no subs left.

  17. Trixie says:

    Gut-check time. 75th minute and Osasuna looks more likely to score a second than we do an equalizer, even with a very offensive gamble on the pitch.

  18. Trixie says:

    0-2 goal Juanfran and that should do it.

  19. Update from the Doghouse says:

    Time to send Valverdeer in own DOGHOUSE. That is if teh Villarreal owners have any GUTS or Value their investment.

    This Long Ball/Highball no Possesion IS UGLY and results suck too…

  20. Update from the Doghouse says:

    Valverdeer is STUPID….

    Starters should have been Rossi/Llorente or Rossi/Nilmar …

    HE”S A MORON !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  21. Trixie says:

    Fans waving the white hankies and jeering. Poor poor game from us today.

  22. Kenez says:

    Villarreal made to look very poor against an ordinary Osasuna side. Once again Valverde’s substitutions had no effect. The fans have been very patient so far but the cracks were starting to show today.

  23. Update from the Doghouse says:

    Puting the ball up the filed all the time is not what is working, but the Midfield and Lopez kept doing………………

    why? because that is what the IDIOT Valverdeer wants the players to do…

    I did’t think Senna was having a bad game, so why sub him?

    OH WELL Villarreal SUCK U/Valverdeer…………..
    Sorry been telling ya’all . that this team is not going anywhere u/Valverdeer,

  24. Nick says:

    Probably our worst performance of the season. No spark at all, apart from Nilmar who tried hard. The rest just luck really short of ideas. This time last year we had too many attacking midfielders to choose from, now none of them are performing. Still, we have the Europa League to win in a few weeks! :D

  25. Trixie says:

    Senna has a cracked rib from our last game and considering the way Osasuna was hacking at him, I can understand the sub. But our midfield completely fell apart without him.

    A very poor performance today. Valverde gambled, rolled the dice, and came up short.

    valverde is outtttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

  31. rahul says:

    **** u valverde u ugly snorty pig.

  32. Nick says:

    Well well, they moved fast on that one! I can’t really argue based on todays performance, players showed absolutely nothing! Now whose gonna come in? If we have 7 million euro we could get Hiddink…! Ramos is available too!

  33. Trixie says:

    For now, Garrido will be coaching the first team. MARCA theorizes we might go for Laudrup (oh, hell NO), or Juande Ramos (equally unsuccessful since he left Sevilla), Hiddink will be too expensive and I don’t know if he’d be interested in a smaller club. Other than those,the only coaches available I can think of are Hugo Sanchez, Luis Aragones, and Bernd Schuster unless we prefer to use someone from outside the league.

    Of course, it’s possible that there is someone else that I’m not thinking of.

  34. Nick says:

    Garrido has done a fantastic, a really amazing job with the B team. I’d be quite happy if we gave him a chance until the end of the season. The B team should be ok, they only need a few more wins and I can’t see them going into freefall. I’m intrigued to see what Garrido can do. I mean that’s where Guardiola came from! He’s done alright for himself!

  35. Nick says:

    There’s Bernd Schuster either, but he’s a bit of a nutcase.
