José Bordalás has voiced his deep frustration with Getafe's board ahead of the match against Sevilla. The Azulones manager feels deceived by unfulfilled promises about the squad, a statement that follows a heavy 4-0 defeat at Athletic Club last Saturday 25 October, with goals from Berenguer, Iñaki Williams, Paredes and Yuri Berchiche. The team sits 16th in LaLiga with 9 points, from two wins and three draws in 9 games, and finds itself a staggering 18 points behind the leaders, Barcelona.
"I don't deserve this, I feel deceived in some way because what has been promised to me year after year has not been fulfilled and I am quite angry," said Bordalás. President Ángel Torres responded forcefully, defending the club's management and the quality of the current dressing room.
The sporting situation is difficult. Getafe sit 16th in LaLiga with nine points, just one point above the relegation zone. Their run of five matches without a win includes two consecutive defeats, the latest at San Mamés with goals from Berenguer, Iñaki Williams, Paredes and Yuri. The team has not earned a single away point in the domestic competition this season. Their recent form reads zero wins, two draws and three defeats in the last five matches, a sequence that began with a 3-0 loss to Barcelona and continued with draws against Universitatea Craiova and Rayo Vallecano, followed by a heavy 2-5 defeat to FC Lugano and the 4-0 in Bilbao. In total, the side has scored only 5 league goals and conceded 11.
For this Sunday's 1 November clash at the Coliseum Alfonso Pérez, Bordalás will be without defender Djené, suspended after a red card, and the injured Orel Mangala and Zaid Romero. The opponent, Sevilla, arrives in sixth place, posing another major challenge for a Getafe side in urgent need of a reaction.
The match against Sevilla will be the team's last chance to pick up points before the international break. Bordalás has made clear that squad rotation has been reduced due to the lack of performance from alternatives, a policy he is likely to maintain against a high-quality opponent.
