British_Empire 9,648 Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 It's not being disappointed in drawing with Benfica, it's being disappointed in chucking 2-goal leads away, with 15-minutes to go, against the same team, in the last 2-weeks. That's unacceptable no matter how it's spun. However we can't get carried away and we need to look at the bigger picture and that is we've another chance to qualify next week.

GWR1979 1,964 Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 Benfica are a good side were always coming back into the game, we could have made it 3-1. Unlucky tonight should still qualify easy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll take disappointed to be undefeated against Benfica, and the 3 best Portuguese teams over 6 matches, than anything else we've endured. Even if the last decade didn't happen that's still high standards. We weren't even this confident in Europe under Walter I get all that. But our standards change and in a single game we should be able to keep a 2-0 lead for 18 mins. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluenoz 30,723 Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 Normally I would be raging after that but I'm not tonight. Instead, I'm very proud of the players. Every one of them gave 110%. Roofe - take another bow son. Top of the group. Job will be done next week. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill8972 479 Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 Our record in Europe is still excellent. 2-2 is a good result and we would have taken two draws against Benfica when the draw was made. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sco22y 280 Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 We played well. However, that is me taking into consideration that Benfica should be a CL team with a CL budget. If you reflect on the game, we might have a different outcome had things gone our way, but just think how far we have come in the past few years when this conversation is even being discussed.

Who has said it's acceptable, this thread is just another attempt to shit on the team who are still undefeated this season. Does tonight feel like a loss? Absolutely. Doesn't change the fact that people can look at it and be happy with the progress we've made. Three years ago we were out to a part time mob. Now we are throwing away leads against Benfica.

GaryMc 2,394 Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 On the flip side we've got a team as good as Benfica sitting there absolutely delighted at getting 2 points from us. That's how far we've come. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two great performances that warranted so much more. Far too sloppy and we’ve got to do better in those situations regardless of the opposition. our midfield ran out of steam and with 3 midfielders missing it was difficult to change but when you see the way we worked and closed down for 80 mins you can understand that plus we have a stonewall pen to go 3 up Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now we are throwing away leads against Benfica. Not shitting on anything. Just had enough of the "from Brechin to Benfica" stuff and the justification of two late capitulations in games where we were in control. Yeah, when the draw was made you'd take it, but not with twenty minutes to go in these two games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sco22y 280 Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 It feels, like a loss. However, I couldn't be prouder of the team. Had the blatant hand ball been given or Morelo's shot taken a kinder direction rather than spin behind Roofe, we could have been well out of sight. This year, out of all the years our club has had, is one we need to ensure we do not not take out foot of the gas. Therefore, in a mad sort of way (although I still believe we will still progress in Europe), not qualifying so early just might benefit us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
