the old guard 2,323 Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 Kent and arfield out on there feet after 70 mins, he's probably regretting not changing it, needs to be a bit bolder imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orange Persson 547 Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 Once again at 2-0 down Benfica went for it with nothing to lose. It worked for them and they are quality and have the players. Questions will be asked of us of course. We did fine in the big picture Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That made the difference for me A game of two halves really. We were very good first half while they dominated much of the second especially when we seemed to tire a bit. Probably could have done with fresh legs on sooner. Good game though. Two very good sides. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluenoz 30,832 Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 I'm not going to blame that on a lack of subs. Gerrard clearly thought the 11 on the park were the better options. I agree. The only one I would have considered was Hagi. There will be many chances for the subs on Sunday Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amato 3,016 Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 Not nearly as disappointed tonight as I was in the last game. Their second was sublime and it was a good match.

I thought Kamara looked out on his feet towards the last 15-20 mins. He saved us after Goldson gave it away though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we should have beaten that good side twice. It's not pish, we didn't get beat and have held our own against a team who have spunked over 100 million on players and play CL football near enough every year. We are joint top and leading our domestic league by 11 points. If that's pish then time to chuck it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Rolle 514 Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 Fucking gutted. Never thought we’d throw it away again. Deja vu. It hurt last time and again I cannot console myself. Away to bed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But to do it again at home, nuts. It just shouldn't happen. No idea why Gerrard didn't change things....it was obvious they were gonna hit us late on again. Still in our own hands, but that's a real pisser tonight! The minute roofe scored we should have made a change, davis was on empty at that point, same as kent, even morelose tracking back was a half yard slower as he was humped Id have brought on bassey itten and barker, pace, strength and energy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaryMc 2,394 Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 Should've made subs earlier as we were fucked last 25 minutes however not going to get too annoyed as let's be honest the subs would have been Aribo and Jack for Davis and Kamara if they had been fit. I couldn't really see who we could've brought on to make a difference in a game like that. Another win and we're through. Positive outlook for me tonight especially when you look across the city and the shambles they are in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeparateEntityMyArse 53,715 Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 Gerrard should have brought on fresh legs. Though our bench compared to theirs was night and day. Players did us proud against a very decent team. Feel a bit deflated but it shows how far we've come. Nearside linesman a wank for missing the penalty too 😡 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bornabear 6,202 Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 Disappointed after being 2 up, but Benfica are a very good team. Look back to what we were all saying after 2 games, that anything against them would be bonus. We're 5 points clear with 2 to play and Benfica have to play both of those, so we're in a good place.

scottyscott1963 18,293 Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 Should be a few getting a rest on Sunday. Only need 1 point from 2 games to qualify from this group. Only hope we don't get put IN POT 1 ANY TIME SOON Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaka 1,671 Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 Would've taken a draw in both games at the start but now it feels like defeats. The players need to learn the art of playing in Europe. When you get ahead by two or more goals and the opposition is pushing to get back into the game, waste as much time as possible. Morelos, Roofe and Kent all took tough challenges looked in pain but then got right back up and got on with it. If they just copied European teams and rolled around for a while and got the physio on it would've slowed things down. We definitely should've done something after they got their first goal to kill their momentum. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawkfalcons 2,303 Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 I love SG but that's twice we have dropped points against them and really think subs would have made a difference even if slowing game down and putting fresh legs on . but onwards and upwards we will qualify Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
