It's been scrappy. Porto going forward make our defence look silly and they've not finished, getting into our box at will We had a great 3 v2 break that Porto made an epic tackle/block to recover from. Mangas is playing a lot more like the player we expected. Every Porto attack is coming down his side
SCP is dominating this game. Controlling the possession and getting more chances. Porto look dangerous on the counter but their only creative players are Mora and Gomes.
We need a focal point. We have so many water carriers, but no-one who demands that they are the end point. It's weird but greedy Ronaldo would be exactly what we'd need
Reinforcements would have been nice 2 months ago. Varandas keeps trying to low-ball teams for their top players. He's a fucking idiot.
Porto with their all-in this season seems to have made them much stronger. And the manager putting pressure in the media about the refereeing decisions supposedly going our way seemed to have worked. Looks like we had a scandalous PK not called our way, but "we control everything" Anyways, we urgently need a LW, Ioannidis is replacing Harder and
Yea clear PK but who cares. Varandas and Borges thought it was a good idea to sign Mangas and Allisson for the left hand side. That speaks volumes. Live look at Varandas while our rivals sign studs left and right.
They’re signing amazing players for less than we’re signing Spanish second tier players. All our reinforcements have made us categorically worse, and Borges is such a tragically bad manager. But he’s gonna beat every team that isn’t benfica Porto and Braga and that’ll be enough to keep him around unfortunately.
Looks like Esgaio on the way to Turkey for what feels like the 1800th time. Hopefully this time it sticks. 1 more day until the deadline and we're still waiting on Harder sale, Ioannidis presentation, possibly signing Jota, while Yeremay seems to have stalled. Meanwhile st. Juste seems to have rejected bids from Osasuna and Union Berlin. My prediction is we sign Ioannidis and Jota and sell Harder. And then we cross our fingers.
Getting absolutely bent over paying €15 million for Jota. That should be a wake-up call for elections in March, assuming there are more qualified candidates. Varandas clearly can't do shit without Amorim and is a total fucking idiot when it comes to the transfer market.
Starting XI João Virgínia; Vagiannidis, Debast, Gonçalo Inácio, Ricardo Mangas; Hjulmand, Kochorashvili; Quenda, Francisco Trincão, Pote Luis Suárez
