He's not their babysitter you know.

Dunno, he has shown he's not half bad with the kids... it's the adults i worry about.

I'm just going to take a neutral stance on this match and hope that some of the youngsters impress.

Tie is gone so i'll gladly take encouraging performances from the game and hopefully unearth a gem or too looking forward.

COYS!!!!

 

[EnfieldYiddo]

Okay, we've lost this game

 

[Chris12]

Team v Benfica - Friedel; Naughton, Fryers, Sandro, Rose; Lennon, Bentaleb, Chadli, Sigurdsson, Townsend; Soldado

 

[Chris12]

Think i would rather have had Sandro in midfield with this Velkjovic lad in because then at least have proper defender and someone to protect the defense

what formation is this anyone?

 

[easley91]

I'm not even sure who's next to Bentaleb in whatever formation it is. Though Siggy is probably best off the front man. But, we've got 4 players who have all played wide several times for us.

That's a pretty awful team. Lloris & Ade better be injured. This is pretty much all we have left this season so to not play our strongest team is a joke. I understand the weak defence but to leave out Lloris, Ade, Eriksen etc if they're not injured is wrong. Even if it's precautionary, they've played before when needed and not 100% and they're needed more than ever tonight.

Oh well, COYS etc xx

 

[Mustard]

Oh dear me.

 

[yojambo]

Dat defense though.

 

[Chris12]

Was hoping a youngster played so at least might have a chance of a silver lining in a bleak plot

 

[Jrmpinto]

I said that Fejsa was going to play, but is André Gomes who's going to play in the middle with Amorim.

 

[bomberH]

And for a split second I thought that said Eriksen Wanks Kane, which was a nice thought for the bench.
