UCL Group H: FC Porto x FC Internazionale [P+R]

[zuppafly]

I'm really really afraid of wednesday's game

 

[zuppafly]

Time for me too post my preferred line-up:

------------------------Baia-----------------------
P.Assunscao---Jorge Costa-Pedro Emanuel---M.Cech
--------------------Raul Meireles------------------
--------Lucho Gonzalez----------------------------
---------------------------Diego------------------
Quaresma---------------------------------Jorginho
-----------------------Benni----------------------

This tem won't get there asses kicked as hard.....

Prediction: 1-3 Inter
Quaresma:Adriano,Cruz

I just change your RB and Jorginho (clearly in low form and confidence) for Peixoto

------------------------Baia-----------------------
Ibson-----Jorge Costa-----Pedro Emanuel---M.Cech (anyone but Ricardo Costa and Bruno Alves please! )
--------------------Raul Meireles------------------
--------Lucho Gonzalez----------------------------
---------------------------Diego------------------
Quaresma---------------------------------Peixoto
-----------------------Benni----------------------


Sending Cech to the lions might be a nad idea, but he's the only real LB we have

 

[Tajike]

------------------------Baia-----------------------
Assunção-----Bosingwa-----Pedro Emanuel---M.Cech
--------------------Raul Meireles------------------
--------Lucho Gonzalez----------------------------
---------------------------Diego------------------
Quaresma---------------------------------Peixoto
-----------------------Almeida----------------------

I'll prolly head for my bed, curl under the blankets and hope the nightmare ends quickly... Very quickly

EDIT...:
This will prolly cheer some ppl up:

Co Adriaanse deve deixar Bruno Alves fora da convocatória para o jogo com o Inter de Milão, a divulgar já esta terça-feira.

O jogador foi expulso frente ao Benfica e nestes casos os regulamentos internos costumam deixar poucas dúvidas: a partida seguinte é passada na bancada, mesmo que o jogo seja de outra competição.

Para o lugar de Bruno Alves deverá entrar outro central, Pedro Emanuel, que Co Adriaanse preferiu manter na bancada frente ao Benfica. Jorge Costa já está em condições físicas, mas de acordo com o que Maisfutebol apurou ainda não será desta que entrará nos eleitos do treinador holnadês.

A presença de Hélder Postiga é a dúvida que só a lista de convocados poderá desfazer.

 

[Fernandez]

Porto have been moving backwards since losing Mourinho. They have the players but not the coach. Therefore, Inter would win.

 

[MaSsiVe]

My team to win tomorrow:

------------------------Baía-----------------------
Bosingwa-----R. Costa--------P. Emanuel------Cech
-----------------------R. Meireles------------------
-------------------Lucho---------------------------
----------------------------Diego------------------
Quaresma-----------------------------------Ivanildo
--------------------H. Almeida---------------------


I'd put Jorge Costa in Ricardo's place, but he surely won't be an option for Co

 

[Capela]

I would like for all the portuguese teams to win but i don't think that at this moment porto is good enough for inter

 

[MaSsiVe]

Porto have been moving backwards since losing Mourinho. They have the players but not the coach. Therefore, Inter would win.

It's easy to move backwards after winning the UEFA Cup, Champions League, Intercontinental Cup...not much room for improvement.

But of course, the expectations on the club were very high after those years and we aren't being as successful as one might think we would be
Oh well, may the future be bright

 

[MaSsiVe]

Porto squad for the match:

Goalkeepers: Paulo Ribeiro e Vítor Baía

Defenders: Bosingwa, Pedro Emanuel, César Peixoto, Marek Cech, Pepe e Ricardo Costa

Midfielders: Diego, Ibson, Jorginho, Lucho, Paulo Assunção, Quaresma

Forwards: Alan, Hugo Almeida, Ivanildo e McCarthy


Pedro Emanuel

 

[Johnny_Big]

Marek Cech should play on the left. In the middle I would put Paulo Assunção, Ibson and Diego. Lucho would enter at the HT. The wingers would be Quaresma and Jorginho. McCarthy, with his experience and quality will do Inter defenders run...

I really think Porto may win tomorrow if the defensive problems get solved. And Adriano doesn't play. Careful with Recoba though...he is in great shape.

2-1

Recoba
Diego
McCarthy

 

[Parasol]

Porto is currently very bad defending, allowing lots of goals and making huge amount of mistakes. That will be the point where Inter will make their game and win this one at Porto. Pedro Emanuel, one of Porto's main central defenders is back so that must mean a better defense than has been so far. But their wing defenders are very bad and will have lots of trouble with Figo and Solari. Also Cambiasso will meet his fellow countryman Lucho Gonzalez in a battle of argentinians. Adriano will be back and alongside him will be Recoba giving him something to play. On Porto attack will be Mccarthy, not so good so far this season, probably this has to do with his problems, he wanted to leave earlier this season but was denied so he may be subbed by the young giant Hugo Almeida, a good header. To mark him Inter will have Marco Materazzi and Walter Samuel. On the nets there will be two historical keepers: Baia and Toldo.


Porto has to win this game in order not to get already out from the qualification spots, so they will play very offensive, but inter is deadly mortal in counter attacks.




1-3

[Yossarian]

You guys have a lot of quality players. What's up with all the pessimism, the prospects of facing Adriano? King Recoba? Poor defence?



----------------------Cruz
----------------------------Adriano
------------------------------------King Recoba


Solari-----------------------------------------------------------Figo


---------------------------------------Pizarro




Favalli---------------Burdisso-------------King Cordoba--------Ze Maria




---------------------------------Cesar----------------


No more 1-0 scorlines, please.


Anything less than a two goal differential will be a disappointment for us. We should try to qualify for the next rnd as quickly as possible to concentrate on the league more. It's the least we can do, man. We got dealt the easiest teams possible this time around.
