Today is the first match of the playoff for CL, Aimar probably its unavailable.
I would go with something like this, but we know how JJ is.



I bet it will be something like this :(

The problem with that 2nd formation is that it is too attacking, Javi alone isn't enough sometimes... It's not that I don't like it, I enjoy the attacking football but we'll most certainly suffer a goal if we use that in Europe...

I think Witsel will play at his (Javi Garcia) side, with a little more freedom, considering it's an away match. If not the formation will just be too unbalanced imo.

I would love to see that first one though.

Thats the prob of the 4-1-3-2, Javi gets alone against the world and that cant happen.

Starting XI
Twente 2-2 SL Benfica

Cardozo
Nolito

Jesus changed to the 4-2-3-1
Again Nolito scored, we started practically losing we got winning 2-1, some of the players didnt go well with the tactic, some of them were just tired.
Maxi played like crap, Artur like a king.
Also the 2nd goal of Twnte was a foul, but yeah they add more ref to dont see.
 

Coruja

Senior Squad
Everytime Jesus change the tactic to defend a result we suffer a goal. Just saying.


Didnt really like this game, we could end the play-off here, so many defensive mistakes and Jesus Finger of Dead helping.

Artur saved some "goals", Aimar is really great, witsel same story. Cardozo did well in the goal, the rest of the game was typical Cardozo game, the thing that makes me confuse is "everyone" wants Cardozo to be sold/go to bench, but if he scores ONE goal he becomes the king and we need to have him in the stating line-up...

Saviola... well, he cant win 1vs1, very slow, really predictable... dont really know about him.


Lets see.

Cardozo is useful though. We needed a tall and strong post player for this match, and he does score some amazing goals.

I agree it's sometimes frustrating to watch him for some time/the rest of the match, but as long as he keeps scoring I won't complain. His passing accuracy rate tonight was above the other matches he played so far this season so he's improving.

Saviola for instance had a worse match. And this goes way back, say the entire last season? Although I'm not sure if this only on him, JJ did play him until he was exhaust, let's hope he regains his fitness and stabilizes soon. Otherwise Jara may take his place (oh but it seems JJ doesn't like him...:rolleyes:)

Some of the players looked tired and it was clearly the case with Maxi. The guy played the entire Copa America and had like one week of vacations.. Maybe Amorim should have entered the match sooner and for Maxi's place?

Artur really was great, what a difference from Roberto. :browsmiley:

Yeah surprise surprise we were robbed again as we were on the games against the turks, on Twente's second goal you can clearly see Ruiz pushing Emerson in order to properly head the ball in. Right in front of the goal ref... All our defenders and goalkeeper went to confront the same ref and he stayed quiet..

This introduction of referees from FIFA = hipocrisy at its best
 

Master Pi a Gi

Starting XI
Maxi is tired, just let me think why we didnt give chances to Wass or get another RB when Maxi was playing at his NT.
But yeah Jorge changed the tactic we suffered, he should have put Amorim in Maxi place and Matic earlier.

Still we got a good result, 2-2 on their home, but yeah we could already finished this.

I read Jara might be loaned to Granada? Wtf?!

I consider him a good player, still young with potential but can be very useful this season... Hope it's only made-up news, 'cause it's an even worse decision than letting Martins go imo.


Also Mika's been amazing in the under-20 World Cup. Good we got him before the tournament started (Y)
 

Master Pi a Gi

Starting XI
Yep about that of Jara already read that, im starting to believe its true.

About Mika i congratulate him and the rest of the u 20 NT reaching to the finals without conceding a goal its very good

Starting XI
Well another match today against Feirense, for what the newspappers are saying Capdevila will play today but we will also play with the 4-1-3-2.
But the league its already done for what we saw yesterday...

Its sad but oh well, at least one good thing happened yesterday... Vitor Pereira telling the truth about Jorge Jesus.
