Europa League 2012/13 - Benfica 1 - 2 Chelsea


Recommended Posts

I think it's going to be tough, but the players have to realise, this is their chance for glory and seize it with both hands. I won't be standing for any more 'solid' performances, I want us to look our best.

:lol: Benfica are class man, years ahead of us.

 

No chance, I've seen all their European games this season and been twice in the last 5 days. They bullied an awful Gil Vicente 5-0 last night. We would beat them easily over two legs in my opinion.

I've got no bias, I live in Lisbon but watch both teams. I just prefer Sporting as they need the support and Benfica are pretty much the Man Utd of Portugal.

Perhaps but there is no way in hell we are beating Benfica "easily" over two legs, hell we couldn't beat Stoke and Southampton easily :lol:

 

 

 

They huffed and puffed against Bordeaux last week winning 1-0. Believe me, they are not some super-team, they play in a very poor domestic league and they wouldn't be able to handle our Frenchies.

i don't fear anyone thats left and i don't think Pardew and the players will be either and i would be fancying our chances even against Spurs and Chelsea over 2 legs,  especially as they have the added distraction of battling out for 4th spot.

I don't fear anyone tbf but i do feel there's quite a lot of teams left we would big underdogs against.

 

I still will go into tie with shit tonnes of confidence mind.

I'd love to know what the basis of Benfica having an 'aging squad' is from.

 

I guess technically they are, unless time stands still in Portugal.

If you'd ever been to Alentejo, you would know that it actually does.
