They defended reasonably but final third they were poor didn’t trouble McGregor all night Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benfica should be the ones wondering how they get a result against us. Hmmm. They’re top notch & really should be in the Champions League. Wouldn’t be surprise if we take points across the 2 games but not under any illusions the huge step up in quality from Liege/Poznan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STEPPS BOY 73,143 Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 Fancy Alfie against Otamemdi in the two games tbh. He’s fucking rotten. Vertonghen and Taarabt play for them too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even a slim defeat with Liege and Poznan drawing wouldn't be a bad nights work in all honesty. How's your Euro away days planning out for Benfica and Lech?

It's basically all lined up, but waiting on him getting back to me to confirm. I assume he's been busy this afternoon and tonight as they were playing at home. Hopefully get it confirmed tomorrow.

I don't think I'd be raging if we only managed 2 points from next 2 games though. Benfica are up there with the best teams that we have faced in a while.

BouncyBluenose87 1,539 Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 Benfica undefeated in 23 home games in Europa League...if we come away with anything over there then it’ll be some achievement. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swally 6,289 Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 It's teams who sit in we struggle against, Benfica aren't going to be doing that so I'm looking forward to the matches. I think we will get something from those matches, especially at ibrox - I'd be going for the win if I was Gerrard. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
magic8ball 27,840 Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 9 hours ago, GA1972 said: We beat Porto who ended up being champions last season We’ll have to play far better than we did tonight to trouble Benfica, though the fact they conceded 2 against Poznan is encouraging I thought Poznan were dreadful Can’t remember where I heard it but listened to a so called expert on polish football the other night .He said that Poznan were very attacking but had an awful defence .Some of their stats seemed to back that up. But last night they did look better defending than in attack .Maybe looked at how we have been playing and set up more defensive . Thats a decent run we have now in Europe ,5 games no goals conceded and if we want to be picky you could add in the 2 games in that pre season tournament in France where we didn’t concede either .

TheKingObv 10,599 Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 3 points or more would be fantastic from the Benfica ties, 1 point wouldn't be a bad outcome - as long as we pick up more points from the Benfica games than Liege do. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
