The parts i erased i agree with. But im not sure how you formed these conclusions: 1. This is one of bernardos best seasons ever. How was he ruined by pep????? And yes he should be in Portugals midfield. But this has nothing to do with pep, and all to do with the dumbass coach we have. 2, Ronaldo as cm? If he doesnt have the legs to play winger how would he have the legs to play cm? 3. I dont see how leao has flopped with Portugal. He has only played a few games and was impressive in some of them? What you said about Bruno is facts though. Extremely overrated. The problem with him, is at united they play 2 dms to cover his lack of midfield authority. He is constantly high up the pitch almost playing as a striker. If he is in your midfield you automatically surrender midfield control to the opposition.
Maybe already posted, but the coach claims we do not play conservatively and are always set up to attack! Getting bossed by Serbia despite having better players in every position. Good grief! As soon as I saw Danilo in for Palhinha, I knew this fraud had not learned his lesson. Having Fonte, Dias, Danilo, Palhinha and Neves all on the pitch in a 1-1 match at HOME to Serbia is one of the most embarassing things I have ever seen as a Portugal supporter. For the first time in a long time, I do not look forward to any matches. And i do not even go into tournaments thinking we have a shot of winning. Even with Queiroz and Bento I was more hopeful We won euro 16 due to monster performances by Ronaldo, Nani, Adrien, William and Pepe. It was not due to some sort of masterclass coaching by this clown. The only time we have ever even looked good under him was in our nations league victory
Sooo Does Fernando Santos get fired if he goes winless in these 4 upcoming June nations league matches?
This is the biggest game for FS right now. We'll see tactically if it pays off. Be back in two hours... lol!
This saves him until his contract runs out now. He brought us through the round of 16 for the first time since 2006. Regardless of what happens on Saturday, he won't get sacked. We are going against a Moroccan team that eliminated Spain.
Wow wasn't expecting this, the problem is if we lose against Morocco he will stay because we reached the Quarter Finals. At least is confirmed that we can play good football, we should already have played like this on the last Euros.
We have a cab driver driving a Ferrari. Can we please hire a real coach . We wasted an entire first half of long ball then comes out with complete same line. No changes . What a joke
We played the best when we had a Brazilian coach. We were the best team World Cup 2006 and only lost because of a penalty to the winners France.
Scolari lost to Greece two times. lol! We need a coach that suits our attack… FS has no new ideas and too defensive oriented. I want AVB or a foreign coach.
yes, with the talent we have… there needs to more input on attacking futebol. He’s too safe with tactics, you need to take risks. in 2016, he wasn’t the reason we won — in group stage we barely got out, our defence was what carried us to the finals.
No time for excuses. He has to be sacked. Not because he lost to Morocco by itself, but because they missed 2 important players on their defensive line, and even worse Saiss had to leave on the second half. The decision to drop William to the bench to put that useless Neves again, when are we going to say that Neves started 4 matches and was always our worse player in the pitch? It's not only a question of Santos leaving, the guy puts Neves and Costa on the starting 11 because Mendes wants to make money with them. We need a foreign coach who has the ability to tell Mendes to ******** off, it's ridiculous since Palhinha left Mendes and changed agent he never again played as a starter. This was worse than 2018 and 2021, not the overall performance, at least we won 3 matches, but we showed no mentality for this kind of pressure, a lot of things need to change in Portugal, it's not only Santos leaving, the Mendes Mafia cannot rule the Federation like they do.
Tite lost and quit Paulo Bento lost and quit Spain lost and they fired their coach Portugal lose and Santos? "That's not even a question you should ask"
I’m trying to figure out why Palhinha and Nunes never got game time this World Cup. This game needed some physicality & athleticism, we saw how the Moroccans athletically had us and we relied on our technical players to pass our way out of trouble. Bruno was the only one putting his body about
