We had zero clue how to break them down at the back…. All we could do was lob in long crosses from the outside and hope for a head …. Not even close to good enough
Game over. 0-2. Was this the worst performance all season league-wise? I can only think that the players had already given up and accepted the title was out of reach. 4 games left - we must get 7 points no matter what. Midweek away at Porto. Lets hope they show up for that game.
Amorim proving how vastly overrated he is. Tactically clueless. Waits too long to bring in Ugarte, subs in Esgaio and keeps playing him despite the fact that he might be the worst signing in club history, etc. Pote couldn't bail him out this season and he was exposed.
A bit harsh. Yes he failed in some key games this season but to call him overrated after everything we've won with him so far. He's already in our history books as one of our best ever managers. We're ahead of a super expensive Benfica team and have competed all season with a Porto team who is undefeated and set to smash the all time Points record
We competed with Porto? No. They've been in first virtually all season. Amorim's love affair with players like Esgaio and Paulinho, and his stubbornness to change, is what did this team in. All the games we lost, he was outcoached and had no answers. He's still the best coach we've had in many years, but he's flawed. In some games, his substitutions are perfect, in other games, dude just completely shits the bed and refused to take off underperforming players or subs in awful players. There's absolutely NO reason that Esgaio should have played as much as he did this season. Esteves is light-years better. I don't care how much they got raped by Braga for him, the guy is god awful.
Absolutely he's not perfect. Just thought the word "overrated" is a bit harsh. But agree with you on certainly choices and players being used that aren't good enough. And yesterday I think he is the biggest responsible one for the loss, bad starting lineup, no changes at half time, taking off Sarabia was unthinkable, we basically died there and created nothing else.
If it was today I would watch but this is a Monday game and I have a busy schedule at work tomorrow … will not be watching
Pote is ass cheeks this season. Utterly useless. In fact, the entire team is void of any creativity. But let's complain about Slimani
Golo! Job done, we just need 1 point from our last 3 games to clinch Champions League and the all important prize money.
Lol well... speaking of that. Again I really liked the strikerless attack again today. Very unpredictable and lots of movement and changing of positions. And thats with an out of form Pote.
Anyone else think we can win the league? Honestly if we win all games I think we can… Benfica is gonna be motivated to beat porto to avoid them celebrating in Luz and if they lose that game they will be under massive pressure against estoril in the final game
Not to downplay anything here, but Boavista are 6 points from relegation. Sporting did not really impress today, and Amorim continues to use Esgaio over Esteves, which makes no f*cking sense. He continues to sub out Sarabia and keep bum ass Pote in the game. Maddening. Dude's gonna run himself out of a job if he keeps doing stupid shit.
