There is now no doubt about it – Villarreal are a club in crisis. They sit second from bottom in La Liga having won just three matches from 21 attempts and with relegation now a genuine concern as winter begins to turn into spring.On Tuesday the club made the announcement they had dismissed boss Luis Garcia Plaza

He in turn had replaced Javi Calleja and things never really got going for the relatively inexperienced boss.Garcia Plaza was brought in to the Estadio Ceramica during December having coached Chinese Super League club Beijing Renhe having previously been at the helm of Elche, Levante and Getafe. But despite an opening game 3-0 victory at home to Spartak Moscow in the Europa League group stage, the boss won none of his following eight domestic matches at the helm.Villarreal were dumped out of the Copa del Rey by Espanyol with Saturday’s 3-0 defeat at local rivals Valencia signalling the club’s eighth successive La Liga match without tasting victory. The problem for the club is obvious – they have managed to score just 21 goals in their 21 matches to date with the club’s expensive summer recruits, including Gerard Moreno, Carlos Bacca and Karl Toko Ekambi, failing to hit the ground running.There have been sporadic good results this season too, hinting at what the side are capable of. They held both Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid to draws in their home stadium, they secured a point away to Sevilla, won at Athletic Club Bilbao and defeated Real Betis at home. They have also progressed through a tricky Europa League group

There does not seem to be a coherent coaching method in place and with players underperforming, results were bound to follow.Their current situation is all the more remarkable considering the club have secured a top six finish in each of the past five seasons, and they have not dropped below fifth in the last three attempts. They are not the only underperforming side in Spain this year but at this point in time they are the most vulnerable and their third boss of the season, whoever that may be, has to get it right. MUNICH (AP) — Debut day in the Bundesliga had a happy ending for United States midfielder Tyler Adams and Alphonso Davies, a rising Canadian star born in a refugee camp.The 19-year-old Adams started for Leipzig in a 4-0 win at Fortuna Duesseldorf in the German league on Sunday, while Davies, 18, came on in the 86th minute in Bayern Munich’s 4-1 win over Stuttgart.While Davies wasn’t given as much time to shine

Only American Freddy Adu appeared at a younger age.Davies did enough there for Bayern to sit up and take notice, agreeing to pay the Whitecaps a record $22 million for an MLS player.“We’re proud of you, @AlphonsoDavies!” Bayern tweeted after his appearance on Sunday, posting a Canadian flag and hand-clapping emoji.“Great result today….happy to make my Bundesliga debut,” Davies wrote on social media, adding two emojis showing flexed biceps.
