James would have added another dimension to our attack. Hopefully the kid learns to keep his emotions under check.
Here's the goal http://www.tvgolo.com/football.php?subaction=showfull&id=1316809374&archive=&start_from=&ucat=39&
Not a good way to start the second half. We just could not clear our defensive zone. Helton almost had it. There's football for ya. SLB does absolutely fuc k all during the 1st half and now we are tied.
Sloppy second half. The recipe here is simple. Keep the ball away from Nolito and Cardozo and we win. Benfica has literally done jack all during this game.
Why does Fucile insist on shooting from outside of the boz?????? Varela out Walter in Lets see what he can do
Missed the match, but a draw at home wasn't the result I was hoping for after the Feirense draw. Lots of pressure on VP now I'm sure.
The usual problems... - Fucile is a liability - VP's favourite sub of taking Kleber out for a winger and putting Hulk in the middle doesn't work - C.Rodriguez is a waste of space - If you want to control the midfield, don't take out Guarin, pack the midfield. Varela would be a better player to sub at that point. Other than that, we controlled the game and could have easily seen this out after the 2-1. Benfica took their chances very well, but we only have ourselves to blame. On a more positive note, I think we're still the better team but hopefully we learned that we can't let the guard down.
