Like others have said its a bit of a free hit this one. Dont see anyone else going there and winning in this group! I don’t expect anything either. They have a lot of quality attacking players. Anything we get from the Benfica double header is just a bonus. The final two games against Poznań and Standard is where we’ll get it over the line. Ideally Poznań and Standard will draw at least one of their games against each other keeping their points tally low. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
British_Empire 9,648 Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 Confirmed as no fans allowed (not even the 5k pilot scheme that was allowed for Liege last week). Was reading there that their 20-million star man is out with a fractured foot and a couple of others too. Not too sure how good the others are though.

Hopefully they draw twice, that would put us in a great position, even if we took nothing from Benfica, if we take something from Benfica we should qualify. And we are capable of taking points off them, if we play to our potential, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Blues 375 Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 Would play Aribo and Alfie.....our best chance here is breakaway goal(s) as they are going to put us under pressure. The rest of the team should be defensive block....usual back 4 (Balogan or Helander),Davis,Jack,Kamara and Arfield with McGregor in goals. Alfie has proved himself against big teams away from home in Europe in the past. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis_Bergkamp 3 Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 Hi guys, I'm a real Benfica fan and let me tell you that John Lima probably isn't "benfiquista". A real Benfica fan wouldn't have voted for Luis Filipe Vieira to be our president, he is a thief and a fucking mobster that doesn't give a fuck about the club. For the game, I really appreciate Rangers even if I don't watch the Scottish PL games because I really think it isn't competitive and has the same issue that our Portuguese League. It's strange that we have never met each other in an official game, 2 clubs that are the biggest ones in their respective country, 2 clubs of the fans and 2 clubs with a great history. I think we're gonna win, to be honest, but I just expect a good game with goals, even if it's hard to score against a Stevie G team. One question, is Pete Love a member of this forum? Good luck, Viva o Benfica! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis_Bergkamp 3 Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 You should be careful with Darwin Nuñez, Luca Waldschmidt, Everton Cebolinha and Adel "The Goat" Taarabt, absolute ballers. From your team, Morelos is amazing even if he lacks discipline, Ryan Kent is nice, Tavernier is also solid, and Arfield and Barisic have looked solid this season.

Was reading there that their 20-million star man is out with a fractured foot and a couple of others too. Not too sure how good the others are though. Effectively due to the pandemic situation that Portugal is going through, the government has banned the presence of a public in the stadium (including the 5%) who were in front of Liege! It is a pity, a stadium as beautiful, mythical as ours being empty! As for Pedrinho hired Corinthias for 20 million, he is an alternate ... He has only played in the Europa League, he is still far from having a category to start. I was already hired before Jorge Jesus took over the team. And even in an interview in Flamengo's time, he didn't see any qualities in him to play for Benfica. It is not a relevant casualty! Watch our game today at 21:00 (GMT). Boavista - Benfica, then the 11 best Benfica players will play today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluenoz 30,957 Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 Aribo has to start. It's time to take the reins off him as he has now played a bit-part in 3 or 4 games. He was by far the best player on the park on Sunday before taken off. It's time to get Roofe up to speed, so it is either him or Hagi. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might see him rested vs Hamilton next Sunday. Yeah, he could definitely benefit from a rest but Hamilton makes far more sense than Benfica. Remember last year...similar situation prior to Braga away. He's got something that only needs a split second to inject into a game and very few players have that. His game and work rate are made for nights like Thursday.

bluenoz 30,957 Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 Benfica is playing tonight. I think the extra day of rest is a massive advantage for us. Benfica prefer to have an extra day to prepare for a league game as they also did the same last week. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

graeme_4 34,663 Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 Hallo I am Portuguese man. I always like the teddy bears since I was a boy. Benfica are a big club just like the Glasgow Rangers. Hope we play a good technical game of football, and the Benfica CF scores a pure belter with his left peg right in the tap bin. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mafeking St. 408 Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 I hope the management team go all out to get points off Benfica, it would be great to get out the group with not having to bother about the last two games because we have a heavy schedule in December. Being able to play the bench guys in the EL in December would help us get max points in the drive for 55. A draw between Standard and Pozan would be perfect for us if we beat the Pork & Cheese.

Should be 2, Benfica might come back and win this, but I've seen nothing to suggest they are any better than the Porto side we faced last season. There's a reason why they were knocked out of the CL qualifiers by PAOK with Chuba Akpom up front. Only thing I can see is they have a bit of pace, so I would be looking to start Balogun and Goldson, which I think would be the case any way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
