Even if that wasn't the case, there'd surely be a revolt in the army of super-intelligent Lions, their Sheep leader would inevitably be outed and they'd democratically elect a new lion leader.

Fatem Ben Fata more like.

If in doubt, give us a corner.

Not sure like. I reckon I'd take the army of lions.

that was gonna be special I can tell

fucking hell

A CORNER. GET IN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The gameplan of defending for 70 minutes when you're 3-1 down has worked a treat, quite obviously because it's a gameplan that is absolutely fine with Benfica. I'm sure they would've agreed to just start playing at the 70 minute mark if you'd offered them 0-0, given the first leg scoreline.

Fuck sake. We've got a guy who cant throw long, throwing long to a guy who never does anything with the headers that actually do reach him.

Not luck. Ability of players overriding lack of intelligent tactics from the manager.

Shocker. We look like shit because we're just trying to defend them out. At home. Whilst already 3-1 down.

I don't buy it, it seems like he's only really benched Marveaux and Perch out of the better options available to him - one of them is down to his raging negativity and the other is down to him being a fucking muppet. Not sure priorities come into it. Didn't expect Ben Arfa to start and happy with him having a cameo role. Nah me either in all honesty. His XI today is not out of prioritization of the Sunderland game, it's just because of his desperation to only concentrate on cancelling out the opposition. Which never fucking works.

So, they've gone for their smaller striking option, and we go with Williamson to counter it?

Team talk Krul, you're in net. Sorry. Cisse, Sissoko.... score some goals. The rest of you, defend.

Mackems it is then :'(

This whole question is a fallacy anyway, I think we're infinitely more likely to beat Sunderland coming off another infamous scouse-esque great night in Europe.

It's nice having the rivalry, but when you're talking about beating a local rival as being more important than progressing to the SF of European Competition, it's really cringeworthy IMO. I understand there is the added element of survival, but we have 4 teams between us and the drop, and I find it very unlikely that all four of those teams are going to do better than us, especially given we don't have that difficult a run in.

mackems over all is so so so so so so so so so so so very small time do not like

Neil is such a wankstain like

Aye. I'm sure we'd be breaking all manner of historic records if we were to win 2-0 at home. Got no chance.

Not to mention the perverts and convicts who live above the shops.

theres some canny extremes in forest hall tbh. round the centre and that field near studley villas? but then theres the streets that go up towards what used to be the job centre It's certainly a mixed bag. My parent house isn't far from the former job Center / Italian restaurant. Down west lane towards kill vill. You've gotta stay away from the shops mind, charvers charvers everywhere.

Not like I live there any longer anyway. Bossing the streets of West Philadelphia now. Hard as nails, me. I'm even playing basketball later. I wouldn't be able to protect myself if I wasn't raised on the mean streets of South Gosforth/Forest Hall.

I'm the Forest Hall side of the rock unfortunately.

Shut up man you're ruining our classy rep.
