    What happened to Essugo, why’s he banned for a month? Unfortunate since it seemed like he was finally getting consistent playing time. Also odd that these kind of bans seem to happen in the summer for Porto..

    Golo!

    At least one nice thing this season is when we go behind from being shit we have confidence of getting the goal back earlier than 85th minute

    Big save now Israel. Capable of good saves but then had that blunder .

    We seem to struggle on defending these corners though.

    Ref ignores the obvious PK. Hilarious how obviously scripted this league is. Can't possibly let their darlings shit the bed no matter how much Schmidt tries to sabotage them.

    3 crucial points and now 2 derbies back to back vs Benfica which could decide the league

    Gotta talk about the elephant in the room, Amorim has become the favourite seemingly to replace Klopp now that Xabi Alonso announced he's not leaving.

    Even if he doesn't go to Liverpool, Bayern and Barcelona need new managers and there's going to be a merry go round of managers this summer.

    I think he's gone personally no matter what happens. He has a 30m clause which Varandas hopefully holds out for.

    Even though he has some points to improve, he's still our best coach probably ever, especially if he wins the title this year. Our whole project is basically around Amorim, so it will be interesting how the board copes.

    Who would you guys hire as a replacement and are we doomed to regress as a club?

    Don't want to talk about anything other than winning the league at this point.

    Ye if he leaves with just one league title, he’s just a solid manager, not best ever.

    English media is hilarious though. Amorim is good. He is nowhere near Mourinho though lol. Insane comparison. Also heard someone on BBC say “Amorim has done an amazing job rebuilding around Marcus Edwards”

    Edwards sometimes is just behind Esgaio on my 'oh no really' players based on his form in 2024

    I'd prefer he take the Barca job to avoid being crucified by the English media. They've destroyed managerial careers.

    But yeah, that bit on Edwards is hilarious. We should've sold high. Dude doesn't have it between the ears.

    Trincão fully took over the spot, and has been balling. And remember when he was garbage?
    I think Edwards is just having a bad moment, if he can find form again his value will rise and we can sell.
