Villa was definitely too isolated up front, if he were up front with someone like Milito, I think it would have ended up differently

3 positions in January..
Morretti, Alexis, and a striker…

the problem was that Villa was isolated because no one was taking the defense away from him ( who was Silva ) . so Clearly, Emery should start with Moro or Zigic near Villa next game because this what worked in the 2nd half..

- Josip Tadić (Dinamo Zagreb)
- Edison Cavani (Palermo)
- Ivan Rakitić (Schalke)
- Anthony Vanden Borre (Genoa)
- Gabriele Francesco Sanci (Juve)

i thnk pablo hernandes is not doing well, he seems to do a lot of running but he simple doesnt use his brain… juaquin fed villa with some great passes… morretti sucked! so did edu and morientes! i think emery should have brohgt zigic and angulo rather than morientes, cuz zigic is tall, so at least 2 defenders would be marking him- which gives space for villa to work his majic! but morientes easy man to man could isolate him from the ball due to the fact tht he is not running!

Agreed. Joaquin and Mata seemed to be out of play playing in those possitons. I understand the reasoning but i think it backfired. Miguel joaquin work well on the right.

That said the main flaw i saw was the passing game past midfield. Too many balls given away carelessly. That has to be worked on.

in the first half Valencia’s attack didnt flow because of Emery’s putting Joaquin on the left wing and Mata in the middle neither of the two of them ever looked comfortable and Valencia’s offense became lopsided to the right side. In the second half with the subs and Joaquin returning to right Valencia’s offense began to work much better which allowed them to dominate possession. Emery may have to fiddle with the formation again for the Uefa cup match.

Renan’s erratic goalkeeping almost cost Valencia that match, the first goal he didn’t hold the ball and then he lost sight of the ball and then dived in the wrong direction, the second goal was worse Renan simply did jump high enough and jumped in the wrong direction for a header that he had enough time fore an easy save. Renan had serious problems keeping his eyes on the ball this match. and i still cant figure out why near the end of thew match he ran out to the edge of the box could hold the ball and then was left stranded with Almeria in posession of the ball, that stupid decision almost cost Valencia the match its a good thing that the defenders cut the play out before Almeria could capitalize. after that match it should now be clear that Timo is still Valencia’s best goalkeeper and that Renan is still a couple of years away from being starting material.
