LIGA | 22.03.08 | Mallorca 1v0 Deportivo | Post Match Thread

The truth is, this was the poorest performance we've produced in a long time. It got better in the 2nd half after the subs were made but overall, the passing, the movement and the workrate was just not up to standard.

De Guzman was sorely missed in the centre of the park and we were non existant as an attacking force for the first 45 mins.

The game got better for us as it went on but even when we dominated the last 15 minutes, we still never really looked that convincing.

Dissapointing overall but let's hope it's just a blip.

We were pathetic tonite!

[Captain Charisma]

The performance was bad... But the thing that topped was Rikis red card. What an idiot... One for complaining and the other for deleverate handball in frustration...

[Johny_Blaze]

who are we playing with next?
this match was awful.sergio pissed me off with his slow passes and always passing to the defenders.he was slowing down all of our attacks.auate as usual was poor.the rest of the team was ok.this match should have been ended 0-0.

After such an excellent series, the team had the right for a crappy performance

I woke up at 4am for this.......!

Happy Holidays all!!

Our passing was pathetic.
They ran us off the field.
Lafita had an off nite
Guardado shud hav played from the beginning.
Riki is such an idiot for getting that red card.
Lets hope we do better next week.

Pathetic ! We did NOTHING. I haven't seen such an awful performance from Depor in a long time. Bobby's importance is obvious, but we were still 11 players on the pitch and they had to make up for Bobby's absence. Hope we'll perform better next week...

[The DK Blanquiazul]

Whoever played on the field today and wore our shirts, don't come back. I repeat: DO NOT COME BACK!

Horrible and slow passing.
Aouate completely lost.
Riki thinks he's Maradona, but just doing it with two arms.
Lafita no where near the level in the past few games.
Taborda dives every time the ball comes near him. Xisco is getting injuries.
Scary how much De Guzman is missing. Sergio had an awful 1st half.
We can't counter most of the time, since no-one is going up.
Wilhelmsson spent the most of the last minutes by complaining and making fouls.
I think the most of the team couldn't intercept a ball. (Or how that is spelled in English)
They get easily past us in the defense sometimes, something that hasn't happened in the past games.

I'd say Filipe was okay, along with Guardado, who tried what he could, and came with hope on the field. Lopo-Amo-Colo not so secure today at all, MP was one of them who sometimes didn't know to pass and intercept a ball today, Tomas as well, and Xisco couldn't do much.

I really, really hope we won't see this again. Cause if the opponent is Villarreal, Barcelona or Racing, then we are doomed.

mallorca was putting us under a lot of pressure and was attacking with 5-6 men.we were attacking with 3-4 the most,even when we were loosing.
we should win our next game.

I don't agree on Sergio. IMO he was along with Colo the best players for Depor. He was the only one able to play the ball on the floor while even gifted players like Lafitan and chippen had trouble to control it because of the bad weather.
Anyway, I think it was an even game and the slight advantage Mallorca had was because of the lead they had. Aouate is the one to blame there. He didn't bother to talk to Whilly to make the wall right and he was standing without trying to read the ball trajectory. Well it would hve been almost impossible to react if someone had touched it but at least he could have followed the initial trajectory.

I fully agree, with preciously little to add, except that when our wing backs has an off day, as they had tonight, we will have severe attacking problems.
