The Portuguese NT Thread

Meireles serial rapist style.

 

[Back Door Skip]

That doesn't even look like Ronaldo. Did they hire a stunt double for the pic?

 

[Mandieta6]

MRLSH

damn caps block​

 

[Sepak]

More like Jean Valjean's style.

 

[CoolerMaster]

Raul Meireles
"THIS IS SPARTA!"

 

[Filipower]

Time to get pumped for the WC!!

 

[Arnau]

Meireles is fucking awesome, what a badass

 

[Filipower]

Yup.

 

[Deisler]

Benfica sure knows how to lose finals in style. 8 in a row and counting.

 

[Filipower]

Let's talk lineup, then.

There are several issues. First and foremost we do NOT have a striker. Postiga is probably injured and play like one game for Lazio. Almeida is shit. Éder is inexperienced and also probably injured. And don't even dream of Ronaldo as a ST.

RW problems, I'd go for Quaresma or Nani. I hate Varela but he could be an option as well, and Bento will probably go for him over the other two simply because of work rate and having played throughout the season.

DM issue, I'd say Bento will go with the usual midfield, because it's the safe bet. Everyone realizes William is better than Veloso, though.

 

[Mus]

What about a midfielder playing false 9? Like cesc did last euro

 

[Filipower]

We have none that could really do that effectively. I reckon we'll go with Almeida or Éder.

 

[RobbieD_PL]

Diego Costa?

 

[Mus]

We have none that could really do that effectively. I reckon we'll go with Almeida or Éder.

Danny could?

 

[Filipower]

If only he had been called.

 

[Mus]

Oh..

 

[MaSsiVe]

I'd definitely swap Veloso for William, and Patrício for Beto Guttmann . The rest I agree with, and my choice for the striker spot would be Éderzito since he is much better than any of the other options dispite lacking NT experience.

And yeah, Danny should be in the squad...

 

[Back Door Skip]

Pretty solid squad aside from the glaring amazon sized of a hole at the 9 position.

 

[MaSsiVe]

As always, to be honest. At least we have CR7, in his current (non-injured) form he counts for two.

 

[Filipower]

Yeah maybe Éder can do the job. I mean, with Quaresma(if hopefully having him there works well), Ronaldo and Moutinho, you really don't need a striker who has to do it all, just someone who doesn't miss the goal three inches away from it.
