New year, new cup. Can we defend our cup win from last year? Can we shake off this early crisis with a win? We start today at 3 PM EST with a home match vs. Rio Ave.
Starting XI vs. Rio Ave: Luís Maximiano; Rosier, Neto, Ilori, Borja; Battaglia, Wendel, Bruno Fernandes; Jesé, Acuña, Vietto Not exactly inspired with this lineup.
Another good chance now. At least we look lively. One of the claques chanting for Varandas to step down but the rest of the fans drowning them out.
Your. kidding. Rio Ave with their first shot scores. What was that defending? Just walked in. Wendel loses the ball, Rosier is caught up the field and no one covers him. Yet another game where we concede. We havent had a shutout since last season.
I dont blame him so much. I've liked him so far. I think the Wendel giveaway screwed him. Rosier was joining the attack and someone needs to cover his space. Oh great looks like Battaglia is injured. Hope its not serious.
