it wasnt really Carlitos. Setubal had a quality team last year with Norton de Matos. I remember that game vs Sampdoria where they owned one of the best teams in Italy, played with absolutely no fear.

Norton de Matos work was so good, Helio took more than the rest of the season to ruin them.

Yesterday they didn't try to play football at all. Like Massive said, tactica do enconanço. It's a shame.

Well I think it was an awful match played on a miserable turf at a but-ugly stadium (Taveira should be in jail by now).

Anyway, Assunçao Meireles Ibson and Anderson were very very good. And the goals were nice. There wasn't a bad exhibition but Cech and Quaresma were not at their best and Alan runs like a chicken.

In the end:

-Good Scoreline
-Yet another Supercup in our trophy room
-Vieirinha and Anderson scored their first of many
-Adriano scored a bycicle kick

That's nice.(Y)

good first half overall, wasn't liking our game much before the goal but then we started playing quite well.
and we managed to score 2 beautiful goals (Y)

Lucho doesn't seem fully fit yet...
Tarik is having a nice game so far.

FT 2-1

nice win, in the 2nd half Leiria scored a goal out of nothing and then the match became more dificult for us since we had to be much more careful in defense...in the end we pulled a solid performance in my book.
could have scored a few more goals but heh, no harm done...
my MoM were Bosingwa and Tarik (Y)

always nice to start with the 3 points, so I can't be nothing but happy with our team :)

We're actually playing well, especially if we consider this is just the begining of the season. I remember past seasons - even with Mourinho - and there's no way we were doing this well at this point. I guess that's natural, since the spine of the team remained unchanged...

Hope Jesualdo plays Ibson regularly. That guy is too good to be benched, and has an excellent work-rate. Him plus Lucho and Anderson could mean that by the end of the season - if they all stay injury-free - we could have one of the top midfields in Europe.

I'm a fan of Meireles, but he could be used as a quality sub every game, either to step up a gear or keep things more solid in the back.

What about Assunção? benched? na... Jesualdo will play in a 4-3-3 so between Assunçao, Ibson and Meireles...only one of these will start.

it's gonna a major headache for Jesualdo, but I think he'll keep Assunção as our DM and play Lucho+Anderson ahead. Ibson is not a defensive player so I guess he'll play only when something happens to Lucho or Anderson...sad but true.
we can only be happy for having such quality in our midfield, the players envolved just have to live with the situation...I'd hate to see Ibson leave because of not getting enough playing time though :(
the same with Meireles....

what makes me wonder and truly worries me is who the f'ck is gonna join Pepe in defense when we play the 4-3-3, we have Bosi and Cech for the back wings but for the middle our options are not good enough...R. Costa is just ok, and Alves is a walking disaster....we're gonna miss P. Emanuel and J. Paulo A LOT.
I really hope Jesualdo decides to get another CB....
 

Tiago_10

Senior Squad
What about Sonkaya ? :(

If Bosinwga isn't available R. Costa can play as a side back, if he's not playing as a CB in a 4 men defense line, obviously. In that case, you'd have to play Bruno Alves in the middle :D

Man, Benfica gotta instruct Beto to severely injure Bosingwa :crazyboy:

ffs, anything but Alves playing...not even Sonkaya was such a menace to his own team.

so we have to get at least another player for the defense that's for sure...I consider a CB prioritary since like Tiago said Costa can play RB, and Alves can't do well at any position at all...even his presence on the bench freaks me out.

The amusing thing is...Co only needed a freakin Giant dutch forward to get the squad he wanted...I'm so glad he went home. Too bad Diego is already gone, cause he could play as a nr 10 and Anderson as a second striker but playmaking too. And Quaresma would be our one and only winger, travelling between left and right with Vieirinha as a sub.


My tactic would be:

------------------Helton-----------------

Bosingwa------Pepe---Assunção-----Cech

------------Meireles----Ibson------------
-------------------Lucho----------------
Quaresma----->------->------->------->
------------------------Anderson--------
------------------Lisandro---------------


But that's me..

if we were to play with the 3 defenders, Co's squad would be fine.
the thing is that before we only needed to start 1 CB, now we need 2.
and if Emanuel and J. Paulo hadn't been injured, we wouldn't be discussing about the lack of defenders issue, maybe remotely about missing a RB....

I wouldn't play Assunção as a pure CB, would be a waste...with Co he used to fill in the spot when we were defending, but never permanently throughout a match...we need him in the midfield, he's very important at recovering balls, making a quick transition between defense and attack with his simple/quick thinking and passing.

and if Diego was here, he'd simply be another problem for the coach, Jesualdo has enough trouble at selecting a starting midfield as it is now....and I wouldn't play Diego over any of the midfielders in the squad.

we're being linked to Zoro, a 22 year old Ivory Coast international right-back currently playing at Messina.

O FC Porto está interessado em Zoro, lateral direito do Messina, e já fez chegar eco desse interesse ao clube italiano. Na avaliação feita ao plantel, Jesualdo Ferreira apontou uma lacuna óbvia do lado direito da defesa, onde só Bosingwa aparece como solução de raiz, e fez do reforço dessa posição uma prioridade. Daí à prospecção de mercado foi um instante, ressaltando, nessa busca, o nome de Zoro. Internacional pela Costa do Marfim, o lateral, que completa 23 anos em Dezembro, enquadra-se no perfil definido pelos portistas: é jovem e tem experiência no futebol europeu, já que, apesar da idade, iniciava a sétima temporada consecutiva no calcio, primeiro no Salernitana e depois no Messina. Ontem, foi utilizado no empate caseiro com a Lázio, num jogo a contar para a Taça de Itália e, na bancada, estiveram emissários do FC Porto a segui-lo com atenção.

A menos de uma semana para o fecho das inscrições, os portistas terão de agir com rapidez para concretizar um interesse que o presidente do Messina, Pietro França, confirmou a O JOGO. "Confirmo que me chegaram informações de que o FC Porto quer negociar Zoro e que hoje estiveram aqui a observá-lo, mas ainda não houve nenhum acordo definitivo", disse, manifestando-se, ainda assim, disponível para ouvir os argumentos dos dragões. "Está marcada uma reunião para avaliar essa possibilidade", acrescentou, escusando-se a dar detalhes sobre como e através de quem terá sido feita essa primeira abordagem. Outro pormenor que se escusou a revelar foi o preço pedido. "Desculpe-me, mas não vou entrar nesses detalhes", justificou-se.

Zoro foi sempre um dos jogadores mais utilizados pelo treinador do Messina e, em Novembro de 2005, esteve envolvido num episódio que escandalizou o futebol italiano: cansado dos insultos racistas que ouviu da parte dos adeptos do Inter de Milão, num jogo do campeonato, o lateral pegou na bola e saiu disparado do campo, recusando-se a continuar. Zoro só voltou atrás nessa decisão depois de os jogadores de ambas as equipas, entre eles o brasileiro Adriano, o terem convencido, mas o caso gerou discussões acesas no futebol transalpino e motivou um atraso de cinco minutos nos jogos da semana seguinte, numa medida de protesto contra atitudes racistas no futebol.

don't know much about him tbh, but I do remember clearly about the episode quoted above in bold...
if this comes to actually happen, let's hope he's a good enough player to at least discuss the spot with Bosingwa.

seems like we signed uruguayan international Jorge Fucile from Liverpool de Montevideo on loan, with buying option at the end of the season. he's a 21 year-old right-back.

some dude from their board confirmed the deal, article here: http://www.maisfutebol.iol.pt/noticia.php?id=719927&div_id=1304


meanwhile Peixoto has been loaned to Espanyol, hopefully he'll have a good season in Spain and comes back to play for us...

Maybe no one would give a cent for the lad.


Man, is it just me or this 2 week stops in the league are annoying as hell...With those pimps of Sporttv showing 4 league games and 2 CL portuguese games a week I get to see almost no football at all. I wonder when will I see Jesualdo's Porto playing for the first time.....If someone handed me a bomb and told me "drop it wherever you want" I would burst Sporttv into dust!

They are a mix of horrible journalism and never-ending money hores. Argh


PS.: When, oh when will someone invent an option where u turn off the commentatours lame ignorant comments but still hear the stadium atmosphere? I'm tired of watching games with no sound at all.

If Sporttv had that option i'd sign it.

yeah it's annoying as f'ck, especially because one is waiting for the League start during the whole Summer, and when it does, it stops again.... :f***:
about SportTv I share your thoughts, because they really do monopolize the sports broadcasting and I believe that at least the matches featuring Portuguese teams should all be available for everyone to watch....
I still pay for it though, even if it's a damn robbery....I love football and enjoy watching basically any match that's on, so f'ck it :(


on another note, lets hope that Fucile dude is not a waste of time and money.
