Week 10: 1-3-6 6 points Lost to winless bottom club Las Palmas 2-3 in Mestalla. Although Valencia put good pressure on early, they lost the plot due to strong goalkeeping from former Valencian Cillessen, and poor Valencia defending. First goal was Pepelu PK who was later sent off with a red card. Second came way too late, 90+4', Tarrega from Gaya assist. I don't see Baraja surviving this disaster. Segunda league on the horizon, massive player sales next spring. I won't be watching this club live anymore this season. Waste of time. If they ever win a match, then I will consider a replay. Goals - Assists Pepelu 1 - 3 Hard 2 - 0 Lopez 1 - 1 Rioja 1 - 0 Gomez 1 - 0 Tarrega 1 - 0 Gaya 0 - 1 Mir 0 - 1 Goals scored: 7 Goals conceded: 16 Clean sheets: 3
Week 11: 1-4-6 7 points Resorting to a 5-4-1 formation, Valencia got a 1-1 draw away to Getafe. Barrenechea stabbed in a Rioja corner for the goal, and then Getafe were gifted a 90' PK to take away the potential victory. Sigh. Goals - Assists Pepelu 1 - 3 Duro 2 - 0 Lopez 1 - 1 Rioja 1 - 1 Gomez 1 - 0 Tarrega 1 - 0 Barrenechea 1 - 0 Gaya 0 - 1 Mir 0 - 1 Goals scored: 8 Goals conceded: 17 Clean sheets: 3
Week 12 match against Real Madrid and Week 13 match against Espanyol were canceled due to the DANA devastation. Also, their midweek cup match has been canceled twice. Not even sure if Valencia are back on the training ground yet.
Week 14: 2-4-6 10 points (with 2 matches in hand) Valencia beat Real Betis 4-2 at home in their first match since the DANA tragedy. Goals came from Tarrega (Duro assist), Duro (Guerra), Duro (Guerra), and Diego Lopez. They looked rough at times, but 3 goals in a 7-minute spell in the second half secured the points. Goals - Assists Duro 4 - 1 Pepelu 1 - 3 Lopez 2 - 1 Tarrega 2 - 0 Rioja 1 - 1 Guerra 0 - 2 Gomez 1 - 0 Barrenechea 1 - 0 Gaya 0 - 1 Mir 0 - 1 Goals scored: 12 Goals conceded: 19 Clean sheets: 3
Copa del Rey first round match Second string lineup against 6th level Parla Escuela: Dimitrievski Santana, Gasiorowski, Cordoba, Vazquez Guillamon, Pepelu Perez, Valera, Canos Dani Gomez First half, only goal was a free kick from Pepelu at 20'. GK had his hands on it but the ball squirreled away from him.
Week 15: 2-4-7 10 points (with 2 matches in hand) My two Spanish sides met in Mallorca with the home side taking the win 2-1. Valencia's only goal came from a Rioja PK. They attacked 11 times down the left side (Gaya), 4 times down the middle, and 0 times down the right side (Foulquier). Valencia are in desperate need of a new RB. Goals - Assists Duro 4 - 1 Pepelu 1 - 3 Lopez 2 - 1 Rioja 2 - 1 Tarrega 2 - 0 Guerra 0 - 2 Gomez 1 - 0 Barrenechea 1 - 0 Gaya 0 - 1 Mir 0 - 1 Goals scored: 13 Goals conceded: 21 Clean sheets: 3
