PaulC Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 2 hours ago, VillaChris said: Cherseyev's been a really good pick up for Valencia.....pretty much the main reason for their upturn in form as he's scored some crucial goals in the last month. Good player who got lost in the system at Real Madrid. Wonder if they'll be some premier league interest in him in the summer? Griezmann just scored his 16th of the season aswell. 2 goals in an Atletico Madrid match already! I thought Vietto looked lively but has zero confidence in front of goal. cheryshev was good at Villareal too last season. its a bit predictable now La Liga. Barcelona are too far ahead for anybody to catch. The Madrid clubs will fight it out for 2nd. The only question is whether Villarea can hold on to 4th spot, but the lack of a decent striker this season may cost them ultimately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 Yeah he was unlucky with that shot in the second half, in fairness a very good save from Alves tipping it onto the bar. Atletico are just a machine though, looked a bit shaky without Godin but 12 goals conceded in I think 29 games and 4 came against Barca so just 8 in 27 games. Insane stuff.

PaulC Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Yes without doubt they have the best defence in La liga but unlike Barcelona they defend in numbers. Wonder if Simeone would change his tactics if he had forwards like Barcelona and Real. Whats happened to Jackson Martinez? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Neville go now booming around the Mestella, white hankies out now. Their fans have had enough so amazed if he makes it to next weekend. Can't blame them, Valencia been shambolic yet again, had a good 10 minutes in second half and that is it. Only 34 points aswell....still got to play Barca and Real Madrid away and Villareal and Sevilla in the run in, long way from being safe imo. In other news....Villareal 2-2 Barca was a great game. Would comment more on it.....but turned off at 2-0 Barca! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 me too at 0-2 and the penalty was an absolute joke so Barcelona got lucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 probably actually decent comparison what happened with Garde here, 2 respected pundits in home country who went into big clubs in a league and country that wouldnt be as natural to them 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Still no away wins for Sevilla..... Still Valencia away for them next so all is good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Yes of course no-one expected them to win there. Still in the race for top 4 and definate contenders to won three europa leagues in a row. Amazing if they do it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudevillaisnice Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Bale has broken the British goal scoring record in Spain which was held by Lineker. Pretty incredible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Shows how few British strikers have actually played in La Liga. 43 goals is hardly a ground-breaking amount of goals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 good achievement but its more an indictment on British players than anything else and refusal to move abroad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 43 in 76 appearences to give it more context, not bad for a player who isn't an out and out forward I'd suggest. But of course because he cost more than Ronaldo people say his stats should be superior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It took lineker over 100 games, which was more the point being made by the media this week, not merely the total. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyp102 Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 Is there a lack of Spanish strikers in la liga? What with Aduriz scoring last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
