Danny 9 Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 For an up close and personal on Sevilla, they play at the Mestalla on Sunday on Sky Sports 2. Will be a good chance to see what they're made of. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muff 245 Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 Palop, Squillaci, Jesus Navas, Luis Fabiano, Renato, Kanoute, Escude, Duda, Fernando Navarro, Romaric and one of my favourite players in La Liga, Diego Capel. Plus they signed Alvaro Negredo....what a squad they have! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus they signed Alvaro Negredo....what a squad they have! It's a good squad but not a squad deserving of its pot 1 CL status tbh. If we're honest, we scraped the pot 2 seed ourselves, and Sevilla are about equally deserving of pot 1. The points system is a total shambles and it's ridiculous to see a dire Bayern as a pot 1 team while teams like Inter and Real languished in pot 2. So while I acknowledge Sevilla aren't pish, they're not spectacular either and I'm thrilled we got them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muff 245 Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 I'd say Sevilla are a pretty good side. Easily one of the best in Spain as they have shown over the last number of seasons. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got to agree there i think to many peaople aren't giving Sevilla the credit they deserve they have been very consistent in La Liga for the past 3-4 years now and haven't done to bad in Europe either IMO Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluenose_72 198 Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 Spain seem to have a Top 2 and then the rest(like England having a Top 4 then the rest), but I'd say Sevilla are the best of the rest. Fabiano, Kanoute and Capel are tremendous players. I remember watching Capel when he first broke into the team(think it was around the time of Puerta's tragic death) and you could see then that he was going to be some player.

papaguy51 912 Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 Capel IS awesome. I love watching him. The thought that Whittaker will be asked to mark him absolutely terrifies me :blang: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well yes, they are a pretty good side, but not a pot 1 team. And yes, they are easily one of the best in Spain, but so are Villarreal, Valencia and Atletico Madrid.

Got to agree there i think to many peaople aren't giving Sevilla the credit they deserve they have been very consistent in La Liga for the past 3-4 years now and haven't done to bad in Europe either IMO They've been atrocious in the CL for a pot 1 team, with their diddy cup triumphs their major claim to fame in Europe. Atletico Madrid are a better team than Sevilla inho, having scored 33 goals more than them last year. If they could fix their defence they'd be challenging for one of the top 2 spots, never mind third. I'd also say Valencia and Villarreal are at least on a par with them, with, again, slightly inferior defences letting them down - they both scored more goals than Sevilla. Sevilla's success is based on a better defensive record - bit bizarre that one defeat more for Atletico Madrid meant they not only had to play a qualifier against Panathinaikos, but are a pot 3 team compared to Sevilla who are pot 1. Uefa Cup success and third place in La Liga sure are handy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muff 245 Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 Score more goals, but concede a lot more, and drop more points - Seville are a better side, better league position What have Atletico won recently? Seville have won the UEFA Cup two years on the trot, and a Super-Cup and a Copa del Rey. Now you might call that a diddy cup (UEFA Cup) now, but you never called it that when we were competing in it.

WerderBremenThenGers 0 Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 Atletico Madrid may have scored 33 goals more than Sevilla last season, however you must remember their was a spell last season when all their strikers were out either injured or suspended so this will not have helped the amount of goals they scored. 2 seasons ago Sevilla should of won La Liga but they threw it away.

J_RFC87 761 Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 Negredo was moaning in the papers this morning about our style of football, and saying Sevilla like to attack. Only been watching this for 15minutes, and Sevilla have barely touched the ball, never mind attacked. Silva Navas is so small and weak looking, get big Lee to smash him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
