Did fatigue strip Getafe of their attacking spark? The coach said the 2-0 defeat to Villarreal exposed a lack of freshness up front, which he linked to the congested schedule.
He praised the side for staying organized and disciplined until the 80th minute, even as the visitors dominated possession. Offensively, the link‑up faltered and turnovers were frequent.
Bordalás lamented a defensive misstep that gifted Villarreal their opener, noting his squad is shouldering the bulk of effort across three competitions. In my view, the rotation gamble backfired.
Around 80% of the roster features in every match, and several arrived without a proper preseason, he added, stressing that the bench depth made the difference between the sides.
Their squad boasts depth and quality, and fresh legs revived their play, yet Getafe lacked that extra bite. Can they spark a turnaround before the season’s final stretch?
