Andrew Gaffney (@GaffneyVLC) is a Spanish football journalist and the first-time guest on this edition of Colchonero Chat. As he is based in Valencia, it seems only natural that he would be tasked with analyzing the Mestalla club’s 0-0 draw with Atlético Madrid on Saturday. Topics include Valencia’s rebirth under Marcelino, Atlético’s defense, the continuing Koke mystery, tactical versatility and Yannick Carrasco’s (lack of) hair.

The guys also cycle through week three of LaLiga and ponder Barcelona’s early dominance, Real Sociedad’s fiery start and the cockroaches at Levante.
