- - The Offside - Valencia Spanish Football Blog

By: Javier | November 4th, 2009

fans Valencia fans are nasty fans.

Thats the conclusion that has to be drawn if you read the the chatter this week.

Our Che have lost 1 game all season. 1 Match. We are in 4th and within grasp of the top.

And yet even after a hard win against Malaga the fans complain.

Here are the highlights in case you missed the match.

What must Valencia do to get the fans behind her?

The defence has improved. Our attack is sufficiently scoring the necessary goals. Our goalie is keeping the sheets clean.

Lets get behind this team and push them to the pinacle of la Liga.

Can Valencia win the League?

Of course its a long shot. But like Benitez once said. In Spain to win the liga you need Barcelona and Madrid to flounder.

Well Madrid does not look solid and as usual is a management mess.

Barcelona looks in bad form and is either brilliant or vulnerable from week to week.

Sevilla and Valencia both have an opportunity to snatch the crown if this pattern continues.

Wouldnt it be brilliant if Valencia could grab that title again. It would be the third in a decade. And a shot in the face of the huge big money clubs.

Will it happen ? Its unlikely but Valencia have done it in the past. Till then i believe this is a top 4 team without a doubt.

Emery now has a core team which can scratch out victories without bleeding goals. That alone should create far more wins that losses.

The truth is that our current team reminds me a hell of alot of our Liga Champions team… Great striking. Creative midfield. Solid defence with a great goalie.

The Team is there. We just need the luck.

So this midweek we are back in Europa league action.

Its the start of winter in Slavia Prague and our palm tree loving lads are going to need to bundle up.

arrive Im pretty sure its safe to assume that it will be the B team showing up with Moya in net. And thats fine.

Our B squad needs to improve and show what they can do. A win today is vital if Valencia intend to progress.

The strategy of using our second team in Copa and Europe has allowed Valencia to compete in la liga. At the same time it brings the players who havent been playing up and into playing form.

I would like to see Baraja and maybe Fernandes if he is fit. Play Joaquin Zigic and Miku. Lets get these guys in a place physically where they can pop into the first team and make a difference.

Just dont lose.
