I'd still say its very unlikely, but we can dream. Love how they're crying after the game about the ref, the likes of Pepe and Sergio Conceicao, and Luis Goncalves like a rabid dog, something is seriously wrong with that guy
True it wasn't perfect, I think that's more from the midfield and defense, Coates had a great game but Esgaio is a liability, and Matheus Nunes is also very underwhelming atm
Lol of course Porto drops points now that it’s basically already over. Why did we have to lose to Benfica… So the pipe dream is 2 Porto draws and a Loss to close out the season lol
It could be 2 loses as well. Remember estoril almsot beat them last time and benfica is going to play them hard , they don’t want them celebrating on their turf
Interesting stat: we're on course for 85 points, the same points we won the title last year. And looking back at the last few years since the league has 34 rounds, 85 pts is good for 4 titles and always 2nd place...
The Sarabia sub could be down to a quasi-acceptance that the league is gone and Sarabia won't be here next season. Trying to play Pote into form? Isn't working though obviously
Pote and a lot of these players need a reset. Summer break should help. They also played a lot more games compared to last year. Hopefully we add squad depth next year for better rotation.
Rúben Amorim: “Maybe people don't like me so much anymore, but I want to stay at Sporting" Nah bro, bring me any of Paulo Sergio, Jose Couceiro, Domingos Paciencia, Sa Pinto, Vercauteren, Keizer or that overpaid fraud JJ.
Starting XI: Adán; Neto, Gonçalo Inácio, Matheus Reis; Porro, Palhinha, Matheus Nunes, Nuno Santos; Edwards, Pote, Sarabia. Subs: André Paulo, João Virgínia, Feddal, Ugarte, Rúben Vinagre, Paulinho, Ricardo Esgaio, Daniel Bragança, Rodrigo Ribeiro.
Goal 2-1 ... Navarro with 16 goals and really good movement from what I've seen. That was a great run and finish. Id love to sign him up.
Golo! Own goal but we'll take it. Again this mobile attack of Edwards Sarabia and Pote gives us at least 3 goals in a game. Becoming a fan of this kind of attack.
2nd place guaranteed, and the almost 30 million from CL group stage. We're gonna need to reinforce the squad though, because we're losing that direct CL spot and only a title win will guarantee CL group stage.
Adán; Inácio, Coates, Matheus Reis; Pedro Porro, Nuno Santos; Matheus Nunes, João Palhinha; Pote, Edwards, Tabata
