Villareal CF started their season well with a good earned 5-2 win over Sparta Prague the stats show a tight match but Villareal's scorers took their chances. Goals came in from Golovin, Guerrero, Chiesa, Silva and Armini. De Bruyne and Thiago pulled the strings in the midfield with their passing skills, young Chiesa worked hard in attack and got his goal, Golovin also put in a working performance. At the final whistle manager "ColinW" looked happy congratulating his players and happy with 3pts to start the season, the team look forward to another away trip on Wednesday night to Red Star Belgrade.

Villareal CF boss "COLINW" was livid at the final whistle of last night's home game with leaders IFK Goteborg, the home side wasted so many chances in the match and went down to a 2-0 home defeat and 2nd defeat in a row. Critiscism was aimed at Lionel Messi, Denis Zakaria and Federico Chiesa who wasted 11 shots between them, the boss called the three of them to a private meeting after the match and we understand he was angry with these players. In truth Villareal should have won the game they had equal possession, good passing but those 11 shots wasted really cost 3pts, and after 3 league matches the club are in the relegation zone and not what the club or fans were expecting. Pressure is on the manager to turn things around quickly, with morale low and the club officials not happy with the current situation....

Its 4 games into the season and their is turmoil at Spanish club Villareal as they slumped to another defeat going down 5-2 at Steaua Bucharest and manager "COLINW" looking flabergasted at the final whistle. He saw his team of flops 4-1 down at halftime, Zakaria and De Jong scoring but in truth the team were poor and looked devoid of putting passes together and knowing what to do, with the boss on the sidelines head in his hands looking on in disbelief. Scoring goals is not the problem, defensively they are very poor and leaking more than the Titanic. Keeper Gazzaniga is clearly not up to the job as the no 1 keeper, at the back only Armini and Guerrero have showed any quality with other defenders looking like they are not capable at this level. Now the boss has tough decision, we understand today the players were called into and urgent meeting which lasted two hours, nothing has been leaked by the club or players so its anyone's guess what has been said.....
Things need to change quickly for the club if they are to have good season.

Villareal boss "ColinW" is questioning his players for more improvement, the club sit 6th in ES2 but only 1 point from relegation zone as its so tight in the Division. Last night fans expected the team to win away at english side Everton but came away with just a 2-2 draw from the game, 2 late goals in the last 5 minutes from David Silva had them in front but Everton scored in the 93rd minute. The boss has stated several times this season he is disappointed with how the team has been performing on the field, and were hearing the boss may decide to break the team up now and try something different over the last 6 games of the season and hopefully be enough to keep them in the league.
New striker Scamaca is expected to start on Wednesday night and make his debut, Benedetto has been told he has no future at the club, even top scorer De Jong is not certain of staying at the club.

Villareal boss "ColinW" is turning the corner with his team, Wednesday night saw a solid performance winning 6-3 at home over 3rd place Portsmouth with Luuk De Jong scoring 2 goals, kevin De Bruyne scoring 2 goals and Federico Chiesa scoring 2 goals in a good match. The whole team put in a workmanlike performance and got the reward, Villareal after taking just 1pt from 9pts have now won 3 games in a row and Saturday face another test. On saturday night Villareal are home again for the visit of high flyers and league leaders Girondin Bordeaux who are the highest scorers and have best defense in the European Superleague 2. So could be a difficult night for the Yellow Submarine but confidence is high, the boss has made one change with Scamaca making his debut in attack. Can the club make it 4 wins in a row?

Its clear the boss is happy at the club, players seem to be happy and the recent form has shown improvements in the team, the club also paid out £45 million to Red Bull Leipzig to sign 30 year old Swedish midfielder Emil Forsberg. Forsberg had a good season at RBL and he is likely to make his debut on Saturday night, the boss has stated he is looking to move a few players out of the club as he builds for next season and a push for promotion next season. The club also signed defenders Bruma and Akanji, with Koulibaly, Armini, Asensio and Karlsson going to Goodison Park in the deal.

There was disappointment last night at Elland Road as Villareal's great run of 5 straight wins came to an end losing 3-1 to leeds United, the match was very even but Leeds were more clinical with their scoring and ultimately cost Villareal the match. Luuk De Jong scored to take his tally to 17 goals in the season, the midfield has played well this season and getting stronger and will be key for next season as Thiago, De Bruyne, Zakaria and new £45 milllion signing Forsberg will all be staying at the club. The boss will need to bring in couple of midfielders possibly look at teh forward line, the current defense and keeper will also be remaining at the club but a couple of quality defenders will give the club that can challenge for promotion next season.
Off the field the club are looking to expand the stadium to 30,000 all seater and improve facilities manager "COLINW" has committed his future to the club.

Fans of Villareal CF were ecstatic with the news the club have agreed terms to sign Polish striker Robert Lewandowski and will arrive at the club in next 24 hours and will likely form partnership with Luuk De Jong. The signing is seen as big statement to the club's intent to push for promotion next season, with the midfield already have been strengthened and one of the strongest in the league. Boss "COLINW" has been meeting with the Club Board and we understand going through targets to get the team ready for next season, and on their current form of 5 wins in 6 games the team are developing strongly.

Villareal CF boss "COLINW" admitted he is unlikely to make anymore signings ahead of the new season and that he is happy with his squad. He commented he felt team strong enough to mount serious promotion challenge this season, Luuk De Jong has stayed to delight of the fans has scored 3 goals in pre season. Lewandowski joined towards end of last season and with Raul Jimenez coming in and Scamaca their is good competition in attack and should provide plenty of goals. Thiago, Forsberg and De Bruyne will power the midfield, Bailly, Bruma and Akanji give the strength at the back. Fans are excited for the season and the Yellow Submarine ready for a promotion charge in what looks a strong Superleague 2, favourites have to be Steaua Bucharest.

Mixed start to season with a win and defeat but scoring high with 8 goals in 2 games, and tonight absolute delight as they knocked out ESL 1 runners up from last season Liverpool out of the European Cup. Villareal players worked hard as they fought back from 4-2 down at halftime, Guerrero gave the home side the lead on 7mins, but Liverpool hit back quickly showing their class with 2 goals, before Luuk De Jong equalised on 29mins.
Both teams were attacking each other with Liverpool having better of the 1st half, Liverpool hit back with another 2 goals before halftime to take a 4-2 lead at halftime as boss "COLINW" had to talk with his players.
The boss changed his forwards on 60mins with Scamaca and Lewandowski coming on and slight tweak to tactics, Robert Lewandowski scored on 76 mins to pull Villareal back into the match, he grabbed his 2nd goal on 84mins to level the match, Scamaca won it for the home side in the 88th minute.
It was another Sellout 30,000 crowd, as fans celebrated a great night for the club and the boss praising Zakaria, De Jong and Lewandowski the best trio of players.

Villareal CF sitting in 3rd after 4 matches of the new ESL 2 season and manager "COLINW" very happy with his squad and performances. The 2nd highest scorers with 17 goals in the league and 3rd best defense with 8 goals conceded, as expected Kevin De Bruyne is pulling strings in the midfield with passing and shooting stats includes 3 goals and 5 assists. Zakaria and Forsberg are also linking well and providing good passing stats and each has 4 assists, veteran David Silva has yet to start and has asked to leave the club feeling he will not any game time.
Young Thuram is settling well and showing good passing of the ball, last season's top scorer Luuk de Jong is again leading the way with 7 goals in 8 games and good working partnership with Raul Jimenez who has 4 goals in 8 games. One of big disappointments for the boss is form of Bruma, Akanji and Guerrero the three defenders are not putting many tackles or passing stats and need to improve their performances or face being dropped or moved on if not providing anything for the team. Wednesday night off the club as its European Super Cup night, the players will have extra training and working on tactics.
