Morita mvp today We could be 6-0 up but we miss sooooo many chances. If only we had a proper #9 And just as i say that. 3-0
Sotirios is looking pretty solid so far, like what I’ve seen in the limited minutes he’s gotten. Nuno Santos is quietly having a great season.
Really early game at Santa Clara today. We lost this fixture last year. Starting XI Adán; St. Juste, Coates, Matheus Reis; Ricardo Esgaio, Morita, Ugarte, Nuno Santos; Edwards, Paulinho, Pedro Gonçalves
Yeah, even on that last angle the replayed showed, I don’t think the guys I initially thought were open actually had an open lane to make the pass
Paulinho misses the simplest of passes that could have been 2-0 We refuse to kill these games off and end up suffering after
Goall!! Nuno santos seals the win. But horrible 2nd half... esgaio continues to be woeful. How does a player this bad have so many minutes? Santa clara constantly attacking on his side. The guy is so slow, makes so many bone headed mistakes, meanwhile Esteves is on loan and for the 2nd game in a row isnt even called to the bench, Verissimo lampiao wont play him at Estoril. Call him back in January and send Esgaio packing PLEASE
i was surprised he didn’t concede a penalty when he got smoked on that long ball. (Which I’m pretty sure he had the jump on) If the Santa Clara player went down Im not so sure it wouldn’t have been a penalty. Esteves loan spell is still something I don’t get. Between Europe and Porro being made of glass he would’ve got plenty of minutes here still. I guess not with Esgaio around…
Another game without a cleansheet, another late goal needlessly conceded. Our defense this year is woeful
Paulinho can’t be excused either. This guy is ********ing useless as a front man. Offers his teammates nothing, always rolling around in the ground at the worst times, and when he does get the ball he makes piss poor decisions with it.
Not convinced Esteves is the answer, what have you guys seen in him? He never plays. I think someone needs to be signed in January.
Morita and Ugarte are the only players that have played consistently well this year. Everyone else has been so hot and cold. Some flashes from Nuno Santos and Edwards, but been not nearly consistent enough.
