Getafe coach demands signings, sparks feud with president

Getafe Struggles to Find the Net

Getafe faced a 1-0 defeat against Girona, highlighting their ongoing struggles in front of goal. With only 8 goals in 13 games, they are joint-lowest scorers in the league. Manager Jose Bordalas expressed his frustration and emphasized the need for more attacking prowess.

Bordalas Calls for Offensive Improvement

Bordalas acknowledged the team’s lack of offensive output, stressing the need for improvement. He highlighted the team’s defensive strength but pointed out the challenges they face in scoring goals from open play. The manager remains optimistic about turning the situation around.

Fans Express Frustration

The fans at the Coliseum have voiced their disappointment following another goalless performance. Bordalas understands their frustration and compared the situation to the movie “Groundhog Day,” emphasizing the repetitive nature of their offensive struggles.

Striker Woes for Getafe

Getafe started the season without a recognized striker, relying on midfielders to lead the attack. New signings like Chrisantus Uche, Bertug Yildirim, and Alvaro Rodriguez have failed to make a significant impact in front of goal. Bordalas believes the team needs top-level signings to address their scoring issues.

Torres Responds to Bordalas

Getafe’s President, Angel Torres, responded to Bordalas’ calls for new signings by emphasizing hard work and determination. He dismissed the idea of major signings and urged the team to focus on improving their performance with the current squad.

Relegation Threat Looms

Currently sitting in 17th place, Getafe faces the risk of relegation if they fail to improve their attacking output. With their defence holding strong, the team relies heavily on goals from midfielder Mauro Arambarri. Valencia and Espanyol’s upcoming games could push Getafe into the drop zone if results do not go their way.
