    I agree on the mids trying more forward passes, and to be fair they did in the last 10 mins of the half. Fede tried a quick low pass to Mbappé that was intercepted and both Tchou and Cama played similar passes to his feet as well. They must do better and take more risk though, and in general play it much faster.
    Subs in this one aren’t so obvious, as we lack legit attacking options. Franco has a lead foot so not sure where we should place him when he comes on.

    that’s simply false. We won last time in Mestalla on January 3rd 2025.

    Yeah you're right. That was from last season, the last time we played Valencia was at home in April 2025. The same stuff happened.

    Why aren't the fullbacks running into the acres of spaces available to them?

    Attackers need to stop playing with their back to the defence. Only think they can do in that position is receive the ball and immediately pass it back. Need to face forward and be ready to run!

    Don’t think I’ve seen a worse midfield in the last 15-20 years as the one we have now.

    Offers nothing.

    Really liking Jimenez. Tidy on the ball and not hiding.

    Creativity issues with Fede, Cama and Tchou.

    Can't remember a single chance in this half so far. Absolutely dire play.

    This team is disorganized, it's very hard to watch.

    I was about to write that we need someone to take a defender on and we miss that without Vinicius.

    and then Carreras of all people stumbles in with a clunky take on leading to a goal :D
