Rossi starts in a new formation brought about by the lack of striker options, a 4-5-1 with Rossi up top and Ibagaza, Mati, and Cazorla the 3 attacking midfielders behind him. Jozy is on the bench and is likely to see a lot of time, being the only healthy forward option. Good luck Jozy (and Rossi).

Also looks like Marcos Senna is out for some reason. Get ready for a bad game for Villarreal. Sorry, I lied: Pellegrini sticks with the 4-4-2, and Jozy gets the start with ROssi (Mati is on the bench). El Villarreal jugará con: Diego López, Javi Venta, Fuentes, Cygan, Capdevilla, Cazorla, Eguren, Bruno, Ibagaza; Rossi y Altidore.

Great to see Jozy get the start. A win here brings Villarreal into second place ahead of Madrid. Nice to see Villarreal do so well considering they play such attractive football.
Rossi is playing pretty far back, collecting balls in the midfield. He has a nice give and go with Ibagaza on a counter, but his shot is wild and over. I'm watching on http://www.justin.tv/widgets/jtv_pl...fb0f532a9b60e12fd897ce406.swf?channel=live24s Also, boo Grey's Anatomy.
It's like a breath of fresh air watching Villarreal after watching Fulham. Jozy and the midfielders don't seem to be on the same page. Not sure if it's Jozy or the midfielders' fault. He keeps trying to get behind the defenders and the midfielders either don't anticipate the run or just don't think he's fast enough to make it work?
Maybe drinking and celebrating Jozy is starting ...or hungover (and still drinking) 'cause GolTV does not have the game on..... Anyway, the web link is not bad at all.. Come on JOzy...
Wonderful and fast run from Jozy. Amazing. His sliding left footed shot is at the keeper though. Damn.
There it is! They put him in behind the defense, he outruns his defender, cuts back and gets a (weak) shot off that the keeper kick saves. Jozy looks like a (physical) beast. He has the tools to succeed once he settles in and learns the Spanish and Villarreal game.
They're starting Pascal Cygan in central defense, and missing the best player of the league in Marcos Senna. What do you expect?
Altidore controls a shaky cross in the box with his back to the goal, passes off to Cazorla, who hits the side netting.
Jozy with a nice layoff in the box (after a nice collection of a loose ball) but the other dude takes a bad touch, loses the angle and puts it into the side netting.
