We are half way through the season and when you look at the La Liga table, Villareal are stand at a Shocking 18th place.
They played GREAT, I repeat Great football last season and finished 4th.
What happend to them? Is it the injury of Giuseppe Rossi, departure of Carzorla, the arrival op Zapata( hmm

) or the fact that Valero is not even half the player he was last season?

Cazorla. That's pretty much it imo.

Borja effect, had one good season last year and this year has dissapeared from radar.

Borja = Xavi

Cazorla = Iniesta

When you take one the other suffers. Which explains why Cazorla hasn't been as good with Malaga as he has been for Villarreal.

Yeah I agree, this explains Borja's form this half season.

Valero is their best player this season and the season before too.The thing is that villarreal is just another club who is financially unstable hence couldnt reinforce as much as they wanted and forced to buy crap players like Zapata.

Their depth is close to zero and the series of injuries they had is horrendous.Also obvious lose of quality like cazorla etc has harmed them too.
