Was great to be 2-0 up but we never really created anything else or took the game towards them. Even at 2 nil up Benfica didn’t really do anything different. Just kept playing the way they did and unfortunately got the goals. Not going to criticise the team or management as we just found it tough tonight against a good team. i agree with you but equally i don't think they were in control of it either, they weren't exactly banging the door down and getting chance after chance. McGregor didn't exactly have much to do other than pick the ball out his net twice. Trust me if we want to be getting to where we want to get to which ultimately is winning trophies and getting wins in champions league games then we need to manage the game better. We've done it twice in very quick succession. To be honest it's not a worry, it's just really disappointing - i'm gutted for them they deserved more.

If we weren't as organised and as a strong unit as we were, we and most teams were in for a mailing against them. They're a top side - dynamic and physical from the 1st minute till the last.

We've been outrageously good this season, but the game management has been shocking on those two instances. Tav picked the wrong game to go back to the Tav of old but he's been a revelation this season so you can't hold it against him. At 2-0 I was wanting us to sacrifice maybe Roofe and put Helander on to shore things up but hey-ho. From the start I thought our defence looked nervous for reasons unknown to me. I'm stunned as to why because we've been so strong. We seemed to play the same way as we did against Poznan, sitting deep but the problem was we were sloppy with clearances and inviting pressure straight back on. You can play that way against Poznan but not against a team of Benfica's quality, sadly. Just seen the sore in the other game. 93'rd minute winner, a draw would have been better. I just hope the heads don't go down from the boys and it's not defining moment in our season or anything. It shouldn't be, but there's a lot to learn from tonight. Great season so far, but that, again, was pretty unforgivable. It’s forgivable tbh Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mclean RFC 1,271 Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 you would think that benfica team were championes league winners the way people are going on. simple fact is we chucked it against them in their ground when we had a two goal lead and an extra man. then chucked it at our ground with a two goal lead and half their first team missing. still really happy with how the team has played overall in this tournament and in a fantastic position to qualify for the second year on the bounce ! real battling performances and tav was unlucky with the own goal. state of the posters on here calling people mongos and spastics. really showing your character for everyone tonight gents. some people need a lie down.

Aye, but I made the same point myself that you can't be hard on them because we have been outrageously good this season (same as yourself in the grand scheme of the season) Again, it's two separate things. You can still acknowledge we are having an amazing season, but think throwing away these 2 goal leads against Benfica are really unacceptable in the last 15-minutes of each game. That's the unacceptable aspect to me. But the whole context and tone of my OP was to make it clear the distinction that overall we're still on track, bigger picture etc but to make the point it's ridiculous throwing it away again at the end.
