Emery's return to Almeria's homeground is overshadowed by Silva's injury.

As some of you may know, Silva is out for 3 months.

Valencia are currently in a good position, a draw would be a good result. The 3-0 win vs Mallorca has given the team confidence back, which many have feared would be on a low after losing vs Madrid.

I think if we score first we have a chance to win the game, if we concede first I think we'll struggle to get a point.

My preferred lineup:
----------------Renan
Miguel-----Albiol----Alexis-----Moretti
---------------Marchena
--------------Manelele
Joaquin----------------------------Matador
-------------Villa----Moro

With Vicente coming on as a second half sub.

Probable lineup though:
----------------------Renan
Miguel---------Albiol------Alexis--------Moretti
------------Albelda----------Manelele
Pablo/Joaquin----------------------------Vicente
----------------------Mata
-----------------------Villa

So the game ended 2-2, which IMO is a good result.

Almeria went into the game with a 5 game winning streak, plus it's an away game.

First half we were awful due to Emery wanting to keep his Emeryball in check - 4-2-3-1, but it failed as we lacked the movable object in the center of the park (Silva).

When we switched to 4-4-2 we looked much better, here's hoping for more of that.

i agree with DV7
a draw aint considered a bad result for Valencia
it was a tough away match with a team who r currently enjoyin a good form n started La Liga with a win just like Valencia di
also David Silva's absence will be a very vital one 4 Valencia n it was already shown clearly 2day

Well Silva's absence def will be a major blow, but it will be even more harmful if Emery decides not to use the 4-4-2.
