    Can't see a thread for this anywhere.

    Not sure what to expect from tonight. Braga are looking good and it could prove to be a very tough test away from home.

    I think we're looking at a 1-1 draw here, Nani with the goal for us.

    Will be tough, but we can get a positive result here. Braga definitely aren't pushovers, they will try and win.

    Hopefully we stay consistent and our key players can show up. Possible line-up:

    Salin;
    Ristovski, Coates, Andre Pinto, Acuna;
    Battaglia, Gudelj;
    Nani, Bruno Fernandes, Raphinha;
    Montero

    Salin;
    Ristovski, Coates, Andre Pinto, Acuna;
    Battaglia, Gudelj;
    Nani, Bruno Fernandes, Raphinha;
    Montero

    Braga’s given up 6 goals in 4 games to start the league. Not pushovers, certainly not at home either, but that’s a pretty poor start defensively. We should be able to take advantage even without Dost.

    Cagey game so far.

    Great turn from Bruno to set us off on that attack then

    Acuna gets rattled too easily.

    Close from Braga.

    Our midfield is off. Battaglia and Gudelj don't seem to be positioning correctly.

    We havent created anything in 60 minutes of play. Our only real chance is from a set piece header by Nani.

    Our passing in the final 3rd has been horrible. Time for a couple of changes. Jovane and Diaby. Hopefully Peseiro does not wait.

    What a chance! Counter attack finished with a shot which scrapes the post.

    Can’t really say we don’t deserve to be behind, we’ve looked pretty useless all night

    Need to get Jovane and give Diaby a chance

    We create nothing down the middle, its long ball to the wings and have faith in crosses. Has Nani shown up this 2nd half?

    Lmao seriously?! Why not give Diaby a chance? We need Bas Dost back in the lineup badly.
