Just gotta play our best players. No tricks. And Podence on the bench. Rui; Piccini, Coates, Mathieu, Coentrao; William, Battaglia, Acuna, Gelson Bruno Fernandes, Dost
Apparently Acuña and Coentrão might not play. They’re not outright saying they’re injured, but muscularly fatigued lol. Gotta be mind games from JJ, I know you want your guys to be 100% in a game like this but you also want you best guys out there. They both came out early gassed against Barca, I just hope there isn’t more to it
Im gonna guess they will start but be the 1st subs as they won't last a full out hard 90 min right now
Quite possibly Prediction: Jorge jesus will start the game with 9 players , resting coentrao and acuña . He will play Bruno Cesar, who is obviously worth 2 players on the field. Bruno Cesar will score the winner and sporting will win 1-0. Jorge Jesus will suck off Bruno cesar after the game. Sporting chokes yet again against teams like moreirense later in the season and Porto is campeao.
Starting XI: Rui Patrício; Piccini, Coates, Mathieu, Jonathan; William, Battaglia, Gelson Martins, Acuña; Bruno Fernandes, Bas Dost Bench: Salin, André Pinto, Alan Ruiz, Bruno César, Ristovski, Podence, João Palhinha. Confirmed = no Coentrao or Doumbia
Porto playing very tight, our passing has not been accurate and they've looked dangerous on the counter.
JJ switched Battaglia and William positions now. William has better passing so hopefully he can help to get something going while Battaglia drops deeper to help defend
We look so nervous out there. We need to calm down and play simple. Battaglia has been awful, Jonathan not much better. Bruno and Dost barely in the game but that's because the ball hasn't gotten that far.
Coentrao really hurts this team more than he helps us. Always out. Put a ********ing tampon in you vagina.
