But, but, but... I forgot to tell how damn faaaaaaaaaar away are from being efficient. They have just scored 25 miserable goals. In comparison to top 4: Barcelona, Real Madrid, Atletico and Sevilla - they scored 65, 41, 36, 40 goals.
They are 3rd-4th worst team in the league with least scored goals. The only worst from them are Valladolid(19) and Huesca(24). I know with 3-4 goals they would run away from that statistical number, that Primera is far from being an easy league, but still... Their ambitions, reputation, plans... It's not enough good.

I know they can do better, but it's hard to detect the problem with them.
Last season you could enjoy in their football, results, goals while this season it's quite opposite.
Marcelino took control of their team in 2017 and immediately started to break historic clubs records like crazy.
Last year after first 21 matchdays they were 1-2 points away from the 1st place, behind Barcelona and it was exactly as my friend Xabi told me in January 2018 that they won't be able to keep that level going on in a long run and they finished the season as 4th team, but it was a valuable 4th place worth of admiring.
