Broxi 11,433 Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 So are we still better than Benfica on head-to-head? Do we better them in away goals or something? Because if so that's absolutely huge. We're favourites to top the group in that cause because it's an extra point over Benfica. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It means all we need to do is match their points in the last 2 games and we top the group. Would be a fantastic achievement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoplandRoad83 3,123 Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 Benfica are a top side, CL level - their pressing and aggression was tough to play against. Never felt comfortable at any point in the game, and no shame to come away unbeaten in two games having scored 5 goals against them. Obviously frustrating the way the games panned out but still in a strong position. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be interesting in the final game, can see both of us playing reserves in such a scenario tbh. Think we are very capable of taking 6 points. Wouldn't play reserves personally, think it's important we top the group, will make progression in the knockouts (hopefully) a lot easier and that's not something I don't care about. Would be great to get through a couple rounds. Think we have enough players to rotate, that's the beauty of our "reserves" though. You can easily bring in a midfield of Zungu, Jack, Aribo sitting behind Hagi, Helander back in defence and you haven't really weakened. Even Bassey or Itten would do fine as well. Should be easy to manage the squad to ensure we have a full strength team out, just a different full strength team Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShanksRFC 3,866 Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 We will go through, disappointing to lose two goals but Benfica are a top team who have spent over 100million in the Summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is team with a market value of maybe hundreds of millions (just from a quick check online tbf). Light years ahead of anything we'll face domestically.
