Sporting is playing good. Coates and Matthieu playing well. Ristovski is beasting The papers today all had headlines about the pressure on sporting and that SCP would fail. Ref comes in a d doesn't do VAR for a Dost PK claim, blows the whistle as SCP is about to crodd the ball in the box. We all know the ending to this movie. We all know how it's going to end.
Acuna not called for the match vs. Setubal tomorrow. Fuel to the fire of the Acuna to Zenit rumours. Abdu Conte also called up, the young defender has been a revelation in the U23 team.
20mil for him is absolutely ridiculous. We overpaid for him in the first place. Will Keizer be on the bench tomorrow?
Starting XI - Idrissa Doumbia with his debut and starting as well, in place of the suspended Gudelj, while Petrovic gets the start at CB: Renan; Ristovski, Coates, Petrovic, Jefferson; Doumbia, Bruno Fernandes, Wendel; Raphinha, Diaby, Bas Dost
What a chance for dost... Edit: make that 2 chances. The one good thing Jefferson provides is those really accurate crosses.
LOL Petrovic burned there. We were pressing but a very quick counter resulted in Setubal scoring. Petrovic slow as molasses.
Nothing new here... baffled hes spent this long at the club. Still no Geraldes, would like to see him given a chance. Diaby needs to show more out there too, lost for most games.
Doumbia started the game looking nervous but has been growing into the game; he seems to have good technical ability.
1-0 How are we losing to this god awful setubal team. We're abusing the wings and crosses, if we started making plays down the middle I have a feeling we would score. Dost is in bad form, Bruno fernandes hasnt really appeared, Diaby invisible, Petrovic slow as a turtle.
LOL Ristovski with a giant gash on his head, ref blows no foul and then gives a red to him for protesting.
Straight red is absolutely ridiculous. We're screwed now and this just makes Sunday's game less meaningful.
Raphinha whose been our most active forward comes off, Diaby whose been invisible stays on. 4th place this year boys.
