No reference up front. We're playing with 2 "mobile" forwards. Pedro Mendes is on the bench I'd be curious to see him play. We need changes made and fast.
Yup I think Phellype isnt 100%. Theres Pedro Mendes whose been scoring for the U23s. How have we not made subs yet? What are we waiting for??? Edit: Nevermind, Vietto comes off for Jovane. Wonder where he slots in to.
Its not surprising. This Pontes guy was assistant to Paulo bento for many years. Its not a surprise hes playing this 4-4-2 diamond, Bento's fave formation. Remember how well we played back then? Yeah me neither. The guy is clearly not a striker. He had 0 chances. I remember that game vs Portimonense - his passing and vision from the attacking midfield was good.
To add to this diamond formation, we have 0 pace in this team, whose gonna provide that injection of pace we need from midfield? Wendel? Doumbia? Miguel Luis?
Miguel Luis my goodness! I don't know if it's nerves or whatever but what a golden opportunity destroyed. You have to finish that! We need 2 Bruno Fernandes' on this team... one as striker and one supporting him.
Now lets play him in the league. Oh wait someone didnt include him in the squad list for the league...
Mendes injecting some life. He appears to have some speed. It would be unreal if we tied this lol. Juve/Athletico part 2 lol
Exactly what this reminded me of too, classic Bento tactics. Would've loved Braganca to stay in the squad over Luis, I feel like he's way more mature already.
Looks like a loss then. At least we scored 2 away goals - could be important at the end on head to head.
I was hoping for a tie but we made a lot of mistakes defensely and PSV capitalized every time. Miguel Luis was brutal for us and seems like he's not deserving of first team ball. Vietto was meh as well.. he's only had one good game with us so far but still early. I thought Bruno was our best (shocker) And great moment for Pedro Mendes scoring in his first game, a minute coming in lol. I hope to see more of him.
