Europa League 2012/13 - Benfica 1 - 2 Chelsea


Recommended Posts

As it stands, you'd hope we'd have:

 

                Krul

 

Simpson Taylor MYM Santon

 

          Tiote  Jonas

 

  Marv  Cabaye  Sissoko

 

              Cisse

 

But there's still time for more injuries, I suppose.

To put it in perspective our best team is

 

Krul, Debuchy, Yanga-Mbiwa, Coloccini/Taylor, Santon, Tiote, Cabaye, Sissoko, Ben Arfa, Cisse, Gouffran

 

You're likely to face:

 

Krul, Simpson, Yanga-Mbiwa, Taylor, Santon, Tiote, Cabaye, Sissoko, Jonas, Cisse, Marveaux

Thanks  O0

 

I would like to give as well our starting 11, but I honestly don't know. Like I said before, our coach wants to go all in. Still, I believe that he is going to make some changes:

 

Artur

Maxi/Almeida

Luisão

Garay

Melgarejo

Matic/Roderick

Enzo/Martins

Gaitán

Ola John/Salvio

Cardozo

Lima

Benfica lads...I hope your going to recommend us some good bars?

 

Dunno any bar in Lisbon (live 300km away), but its pretty much the same there. There's beer everywhere! AND PLEASE, DRINK SAGRES!!! Not Super Bock. SAGRES  :drool: :drool:

So, you've only 3 players out. We in Europe usualy play without 3 ou 4 players to rest for championship. So, its seems it will be same good games.

Near the stadium you just ask for the "roullotes", the beer is very cheap and for bonus you win a great Bifana (pork sandwiches) :)

 

If you want bars to go out at night I advice you to go to Bairro Alto or maybe Docas!

Go for Docas, you will find cheap Brazilian and Indian whores.

It might make little sense, but it does in fact make little sense.

Technically Cabaye and Krul are still injured but they are expected to return for the quarter finals. We have many more players out injured who aren't necessarily starters meaning we have few options to rotate or rest players in the league.

It says here http://www.maisfutebol.iol.pt/benfica/benfica-uefa-petardos-processo-disciplinar-bordeus-liga-europa/1430669-1456.html that UEFA is going to open a disciplinary process (don´t know how to properly say it in English) and that we may get to play with no supporter on the stadium.. :( The decision thought, is just after our matches, so your visit to Lisboa will not be canceled.

 

Booked my tickets earlier so wouldn't surprise me if they moved the decision forward :lol:

Flying into Faro on thursday 13:10.

 

Do people think I will be able to get the 13:41 train to Lisbon? Or is the 15:05 one more realistic?

 

Also do you think pre-booking train tickets is wise?

Have kick off times been confirmed for both legs yet?  are UEFA still having one kick off at 6pm and the other at 8pm?

 

also anybody heard of any other trips organised apart from the Clubs 1 night stay for £329 plus ticket.  me and a couple of mates were hoping club or someone would be doing a day trip, we done it to Basle a few years ago and it was decent,  left Newcastle first thing, got to Basle about half 10 and had the day to do what you wanted (drink) and then match.  One of the lads who works at the airport was today checking out possibility of seeing if we could charter a plane and go ourselves, will find out tomorrow if its possible and what the cost is, reckoned it would be about £20k for 180 seater plane. :-D

Are Portuguese trains likely to "sell out" ??

Seriously, go for the 15:05 one, you'll miss the 13:41 if there is a slight delay.
