Very important game!


The last visits of Espanyol

[MolinaFan]

We've only managed to obtain 1 point within the last 5 games. The potential of the team is there, but we are somehow unable to utilize this potential. I don't care about the team performance, what matters is the result! We should 100% concentrate and achieve the 3 points!

[Ricardo]

This is obviously a 'Must Win' game and they will be playing on my birthday, so Come on Depor, do the business!

[deporiginal]

Our chances of achieving the permanence almost completely depend on what happens in the next three games. It reminds me of the consecutive games against Granada, Rayo and Eibar. 9 points are possible, 0 points as well. If we beat Espanyol, Getafe and Cordoba, we're very close to saving ourselves. If we only get three points, the opposite.

Can't add any more than this. The result is king.

as mentioned winning is vital

still I believe we won't win, Espanyol are a better team now. They win against team like Malaga Cordoba Almeria Celta

they are better than us. and our coach is ridiculous. we will see some key players benched, I seriously can't stand how he plays with two wings as side backs!

we might win but i see us losing this and losing the next one too

it is time to get relegated soon better than waiting for false hope with this coach

[Carril]

Lucas is right in making a call to the fans to fill the Riazor. I think it's crucial that the fans are motivating from minute 1. The 3-0 win against Valencia in the 1st leg is the reaction we need here against Espanyol. They are a better team, but their performances have dropped the past few games.

[Ricardo]

A few key decisions required from VF:

1) Will he drop Juanfran for Laure - I think no
2) Will he continue with Lopo ahead of Insua - I think yes
3) Will Wilk be left out of the squad again - I think yes
4) Will Salomao actually get on the pitch again - I think no

When things are not going well, more often than not, changes are required, lets see if VF decides to do so.

our coach isa cowered

Juan fran is great but not defensively ! Laure on the other hand has the upper hand. still as you said we don't think he will swap him with laure

Borges needs to be benched too. Frankly, other than the two lucky goals he scored, he did nothing !

Haris needs to jump in, even the Pink Panther (Juando) can do better

[Marci 14]

VF should rotate the starting eleven as he did against Valencia in October.
The latest article in this page mentioned the problem in midfield. The Medunjanin-Wilk dou would be great but unfortunatelly Wilk injured in the trainings.
Juanfran also could be benched after the penalty that he made.
Cuenca will be better as a right winger instead of José Rodriguez.

So we need some rotations if we want to win this game, the fresh blood able to do miracles.

I was imagining what if we returned to our old formation with

Fabri
Laure lopo sedni MP
Alex Juando
Cuenca Farina Lucas
toche


players that fighted at segunda
Alex Juando Laure MP Toche

[Marko]

Depoor with that squad we will lose for sure

Can't even imagine the team without Riera upfront, imo he is the one that is the key player for the good games we had, despite he was guilty for not getting more points in the last 5 matches.
I will be very happy if he continue in Depor for a longer time, and I think we can finally have striker that will be scoring 15+ goals in one season. Also, it's very important to keep the others players too, changing whole team is always a step backward.

Playing without Luisinho and Juanfran is also a bad move, even if Laure can do his job too.

in the last few games, it is evident that our defense suffers from the uncovered side from JuanFran and Luisino

Cause they are actually wingers thus their defensive work is nnot that great

[valeron21]

cuenca must play instead of jose....we can try to change the duo at midfield - borges is out of shape.....juanfran as a defender is not so good plus his really bad passings and crossings....

[Carril]

My (and the likely chosen) starting 11:

-----------Fabricio
Juanfran---Lopo----Sidnei----Luisinho
------Alex------Celso
Cavaleiro--Fariña------Lucas
------------Oriol


We need Fariña to regain form desperately. Him, Lucas and Cavaleiro can be deadly for us up top if they can work well together. I would focus on giving Alex and Celso the responsibility of helping the defence and give our 4 attacking players more freedom in attack.
