Sport Lisboa e Benfica

[Faliro]

Well it is just how deep you played. Such a different style to how we play in Greece. We would have never left the defense so deep - even vs Atletico we held a high line..

This was not usual in the past years... I believe the loss of some players in the defense made them a little bit afraid of playing ahead.

Yeah... it's always the coach. Always. The players? Nah, they are fantastic. Great players who  always play well.

You never asked yourself that maybe is not the coach that is weak in the CL but the players?? Our players in Portugal are top, but in the CL are banal, when you compete against teams like Monaco, Leverkusen etc you can see the difference. How many passes Benfica failed yesterday when recovered the ball, and always in a hurry, without thinking, and then off course we suffered attacks again, the game was this for us. Few were the times that we manage to make a successfully offensive transition. And when we do it, the players decided bad at the time to create a scoring opportunity. One big example was that lance of Salvio, speaking of Salvio. What is Salvio in the Champions? Shit, basically. In Portugal? He is top, because of the weak opponents he faces, technically and physically he is a monster, but tactical even in Portugal you can see that he is weak, he just offers one thing with the ball to the team. Drible. Even in 1x3, and he has a passing line, he will try to drible them. He is dumb. He's like Quaresma, it doesn't matter the context e will always do the same thing. He will always decide for his notoriety instead of the team's. About this game, who had the obligation to win? It was Benfica? Who is the buyer club and who is the seller? Yes collectively we are the better team, I'm talking about the organization, the processes of the team, although we are not as good in a moment of the game called offensive organization, yesterday was easy to see that, but in the rest we're better. Individually our squad it's a bit inferior. So of course we could win the game, it's away but we could do it. But the game didn't went well. Like I said when we successfully made a offensive transition, the players didn't decide well. And we play with players like Tiago... Almeida... with the ball they are very limited, and Tiago... well, I dunno what he offers.

What percent of the fans support JJ?

Real life? Almost everyone supports him.
In here it's probably 50%/50%. A lot of people "hate" him because of his attitude and weird choices (and because of the 4 million euros/year he earns, too) but wouldn't have the courage to fire him if it was their choice.

In our elections for club chairman our serving president lost in this forum poll by a considerable margin and won in real life with 83%...

It's just different. People in here are way more informed about the club and also don't have to face consequences for what they say.
If you were in a café instead of an internet forum you would probably have overwhelming support for Jesus. They would blame the referee for the red card or something instead.

[cipri_slb]

In Jesus we trust!   

[Cloughie]

Today it was Vintage Jesus (and vintage referee, btw).
Ridiculous match.

[Faliro]

Only one sub used..? Man this guy is a fanatic. Def after benfica he needs some time away from football.

How was Samaris?

[HJDK]

We lost the match when he went to the bench. Our manager is pathetic, I'm so tired of him.
His contract ends this season, for 5M shouldn't be difficult to find a good manager.
