My only worry is that we tend to over-rely on him to create something, even with 3 other (good) attacking/creative players on the pitch. Hopefully that will change once we get used to having multiple attacking options on the pitch.

Wow, talk about falling asleep

Fuck yes that was beautiful

I'd give them a bit more credit than that, they've crowded out our midfield quite effectively, until that attack just now.

Viduka, but yeah. Ah. Was it Nolan that flicked it on to Viduka? Nolan was standing next to the keeper while Viduka headed it in from a corner.

Viduka, but yeah.

Nearly beaten by the ref again, this nonsense has to stop.

Shola for Gouffran??? Shola who didn't do too badly really.

Just because he went for the win instead of settling for a shitty draw, I will whinge less this week.

Wish he could be, but its probably for violent conduct etc only.

Yeah, me too. If we hadn't scored it would have felt like a cosmic injustice of biblical proportions. I had the faith sapped out of me after the ridiculous handball incident. Good grief, that was absolutely blatant. I can't believe all the officials missed it - so frustrating. I had faith that someone would score, I just wasn't sure that we were the ones who would.

Yeah, Anita was much better at fullback where his size doesn't count so much against him. Great crosses as well from FB.

Also, FUCK YOU FULHAM

Knuckles. White. JIZZED

Yeah, Benfica are leading Porto by 4 points at the moment and you can't do that without being decent at least. Benfica passed us off the park (when they actually felt like doing it) and if they had someone like Cisse playing for them this tie would have ended with a pretty embarrassing scoreline. Having said that we competed quite well until Santon's blooper.

No, you're not.

Cisse's all round play has been incredible today

Shola gets called for those fouls even in the Premier League, why even bother playing him in Europe?

Why is Shola on the pitch at all

Anita to RB Gosling into midfield is my guess.

This, Benfica are a poor team. They have been given the match. Bunch of cheating diving pricks as well. The same team that's on the top of the Portugese League?

Here comes Plan B

Get off your high horse Could see why he passed, and Lima was clearly looking for it when he noticed that Santon was surrounded.

I hate the man's guts but we've played pretty well today bar those two _individual_ mistakes.

It blatantly was. Hands down by his side, there is noway it's penalty. Lol no, could not have been a more blatant deliberate handball.
