Cool to see both in Group phase (Sporting and Porto)

Didnt see the goals yet, but hows Hulk performing?

nothing overwhelming tbh, he scored from 2 direct free-kicks and a penalty and had his usual runs down the flanks....

I guess you'd rather watch him hog the ball like there was no tomorrow and **** up half of our attacking plays...understandable since you're a Benfica fan. It's like me wanting Roberto to forever be a starter for your team.



Porto
Besiktas
CSKA Sofia
Rapid Wien

that's our UEL group, we should be able to go through without many troubles...will be interesting to see Cigano back at the Dragão (H)

Meireles to Liverpool, then. Shame.


I was there yesterday and didn't like some aspects of the team. The defence definitely needs more tuning, I hope Fucile stays and Otamendi can become an important, solid starter.

Hulk has got to start releasing the ball, once he did Porto were another team (second half).

Other than that I liked the fact Villas Boas is implementing new tactical options, like the diamond 4-4-2 (or a kind of 4-1-3-2) like last night (Y)

Sapu has been doing quite well but Fucile is definitely my first option for RB too...in case he does stay M.Lopes should be loaned out.

The players were too relaxed yesterday, especially in defense...I didn't like Palito's performance for instance, AVB should have given him some rest...dude's been playing non-stop for a long time now.
The CBs were also too light-headed, I do believe Otamendí is going to get in there soon.

Hulk was too emotional because of his personal tragedy not to want to make things happen all by himself.
The penalty miss worsened that feeling on him so I was glad he scored soon enough...after putting that over-eagerness aside his discernment improved and he did contribute with some quality football.
He's one of those players that just can't avoid playing in the risk though, it's in this blood.
Football would be a bore without crazy ass skillz from mo'fo's like The Incredible Hulk (H)


About Meireles, I just think the fee is a bit low considering he's had a good WC and all but given his mental status we were sort of obliged to transfer him...plus he's now 27, just about the right time for him to leave and us to sell.
So in case the deal does get confirmed, good luck to Raúl in Liverpool.

Major result in Guimarães tonight. He have to win tomorrow, massive, massive boost if we do! (Y)

I hope Otamendi and Fucile start being first XI picks, btw...

this could be an awesome weekend indeed, by the end of it I obviously expect us to be 9 points ahead of Benica and 5 of Braga (H)

As usual I'll be at the Dragão and I hope to have the opportunity to watch a passionate, intense match as it probably will be :browsmiley:

I don't share your view on the player issue you mentioned Fili, I hope our starters tomorrow are the usual.
Em equipa que ganha não se mexe!

----------Helton----------
Sapu-Rolando-Maicon-Palito
---------Fernando---------
-----Belluschi--Moutinho---
Hulk-----------------Varela
-----------Falcao----------

:bouncy::bouncy:


Dá-lhe Porto!

Fucile is a better player hands down, but Sapu is performing well enough to keep his spot, that's my point.

I know we both agree though, that as long as the team keeps winning we'll be ok with whoever AVB puts on the field...

Exactly, I just prefer Jorge that's all. Similar thing with Hulk, I'm shouting at him all 90 minutes but if he keeps bagging two or three per game I couldn't be happier (H)

damn right (H)
btw Varela needs to step up his game in this match, dude's been sluggish since his wonderful display in the Supercup...
 

Filipower

He's a bit out of shape, indeed. The guy had a injury filled last season, he'll just keep getting better this one, no worries imo (Y)

he was actually facing the Braga crowd in that pic. Legend!

Man, Hulk was simply demolishing yesterday...awesome win in a brilliant match, and it seems like Varela read our posts Fili, dude came back with a ******* bang (H)


...Next!

both goals we've conceeded came from long range strikes so there was not much the defenders could do, maybe Helton could've pulled a couple of majestic saves though (H)
you can't be focusing on the CBs I reckon, since Rolando was very solid and Maicon was simply IMPERIAL.
Palito was great too, and Sapu did an ok job...I wouldn't mind putting Fucile out there though, he surely gives us that extra quality going forward.


btw, Fernando. OMFG, he's turned into an absolutely fantastic midfielder :)

Bunburyist
Haha Fernando didn't stop playing in July/August, only reasonable explanation. Since the Supercup he's been on a February-type form (H)
