Highlights: Mallorca 1-0 Villarreal
Not too much to see here (thanks to VanHerLaLiga), so consider this an open thread to discuss your thoughts on game 1 of the Garrido era. I'd call the formation a mishmash of Pellegrini's 4-4-2 and Valverde's 4-2-3-1; in sum, it was not very effective. Fuster is good at the punta but not in Cani's midfield position; he was out of place with 2 strikers in front of him. Nilmar and Llorente are our best aerial threats up front, but they didn't see much service from the wingers. And I don't think they pair well together.
Some articles to waste time at work on a Monday:
- The new manager is thinking positive. That's a nice change. And hey, no dour expressions!
- This year's revelation (Fuster) and regression (Gonzalo) like what they saw in Mallorca. I'm glad someone did.
- The B team's Cristobal is on cloud nine. If Jefferson Montero set me up that nicely, I would be too.
- Game stories from the club website, Marca, and EFE.
- Opinion piece from the Mediterraneo. Did you know that Garrido is more like Pellegrini than Valverde? Haven't heard that one before.

First team squad for next weekend could be down to 15. Capdevila picked up a knee injury yesterday.

im positive about this, id rather have a 1-0 loss to start up and win games and perform well than have a 6-0 win to start up and get hopes up of everyone and give awful performances one after teh other.

interesting how cazorla sees things:

1. he’s in a lot of pain right now, so there’s to be no miracle recovery. weeks away.
2. he sees getting to safety as the first objective, then worrying about europe. sounds about right, considering how backward the priorities have been all season.

Musacchio, Matilla y Marco Ruben have been omitted from the B team squad for their match tomorrow.
It appears likely that Matilla will start as replacement for Bruno.
