Match Thread: Espanyol vs Athletic Club

  • NotSaalz1an hour ago

    Of course. They look prime Barca against us and score 4, and now against Espanyol they cant even tie to help their neighbours. I’m so done with soccer.

    Absolute disgrace

    This team, game after game, walks out onto the field and give you zero reason to watch them. It’s so exhausting, and so incredibly disappointing. What the hell happened?

    We’re actually going to lose to a team who’s last win was against us in December. Even Ziganda ball was better than this. Even when we finished 16th I saw more fight than this. Ernesto has been living off that CDR title win and I’m grateful for that but losing to Valencia and potentially Espanyol back to back is just simply unforgivable. Nobody is bigger than the club but honestly if we sacked this guy like La Real did with Sergio Francisco it could’ve been different but now we’re gonna get “fake expressions” from the players and a press conference nobody cares about. I’m disgusted with this team. HAVE SOME FUCKING SHAME

    I’m so ashamed of this club, and what it’s become. Not even mad, just upset and sad. This manager has killed all of the spirit 

  • Inevitable-Put-56522 hours ago

    It’s just sad watching us, Espanyol having the freedom to pass and move, no press no fluid attack.  Ernesto is so scared of taking risks, we don’t look like creating anything good. We need a 10 but we don’t have one. No one can run through the lines to make something happen. Just kick it long and pray something happens

  • Inevitable-Put-56523 hours ago

    One of the worst 1st halves I’ve seen from us. No style no nothing. Just run around and hope you get the ball, you can’t tell me this is a team that wants Europe.

    this has been a much better game than I expected, good chances at both ends

    • Inevitable-Put-56523 hours ago

      Espanyol have had all the good chances, our only good chance was right now with the Laporte miss. Unai Gomez has done absolutely nothing per usual

  • MobsterKadyrov53 hours ago

    If we lose I will die of embarrassment

    • Inevitable-Put-56533 hours ago

      The way we’re playing looks like we’ll lose. No in breaking passes, no shots just passing back 247. Ernesto has no ideas and even worse Izeta and Serrano couldn’t even get a start. It’s just sad 

  • Inevitable-Put-56503 hours ago

    Never understood why we started doing long ball tactics, we have the players to play out from the back 

  • Espantadimonis53 hours ago

    Massive match this but for some reason La Liga TV don’t offer it ffs

  • WillDangerous46314 hours ago

    great save by Dmitrovic

  • Inevitable-Put-56504 hours ago

    This rotation between Iñaki and Unai Gomez at ST never works but Ernesto will try this. Hopefully this one time I’m wrong but it’s not looking bright

    Early days but Athletic looking more comfortable with possession so far. Espanyol seems content to sit back and wait for counter opportunities in these first minutes.
