Pata Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 In other news, Spurs are pretty much out. Eh? They can't beat Basel in the second leg? Spurs scoring 3 away goals in a second leg game...Unheard of. One can be enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TenkoDaLuz Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 God. I went thru the pages to see your reactions to our goals and I feel terrible now. You're such a good bunch of lads, I really enjoy you guys, even if you're telling me constantly to f*** off. If you make it through, I wish you win the EL You're a mad f***er like, but I hope you (and the other Benfica lads, except the ones that took offence to Pardew saying you would be a top 10 team in the PL) stay on here. Big part of the reason why this is the best forum around is that you can expect decent discussions even when things goes against us like it did tonight. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sifu Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 A win against Fulham leading into the second leg would be the ideal confidence booster. Not to mention the whole relegation issue. Indeed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bimpy474 Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 63:46 - Attacking throw-in by Jonas Gutierrez(Newcastle). 64:07 - Defending throw-in by Andre Almeida(Benfica). 64:55 - Goal by Rodrigo Lima(Benfica) right-footed (bottom-left of goal) from right side of penalty area (12 yards).Benfica 2-1 Newcastle. :anguish: Was that the foul throw? I didnt even see it properly there wasn't a replay. I thought the ref gave it to them because Jonas took the throw 5 yards too far forward to where the throw in was given. Stealing yards if you like. Their player then took it, doing exactly the same and the ref let that go. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 On a side note.. what is this revolutionary tactic of having more than one set piece routine? MIND BLOWING Like the fact Benfica play adventurously... there was a time we used to take the word creativity out of the vault and try defining it on the pitch.

Guest neesy111 Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 Lose v Fulham and I'd wave the white flag before next Thursday sadly as the Mackems game becomes our most important for a few years.

I didnt even see it properly there wasn't a replay. Aye. I know it may seem daft to some to go back to an incident such as that, but to finally have gotten out of our own half by winning a throw-in to take some pressure off we proceed to allow Jonas to take it, he foul throws and then they're 2-1 within a minute of them taking the restart. Leave it sitting there and get Santon on it, then try and retain some possession from it ourselves perhaps? It was so fucking schoolboy I wanted to run head-first into my TV.

LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 Those extra officials behind the goal have never made a decision in any of the previous games they've been used have they? Typical that in the history of those extra official behind the goal, their first recorded action is to award a penalty against Newcastle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Pablito Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 I must say I have seen Benfica a lot better than tonight. We are forced into a corner now and have to really get into them at St James. And you're right mate. As a Benfica fan I must say that we did not play that well tonight. I think we could have done better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 I'm gonna check, for my own curiosity. Either way it was a farce. Things like that when you're under the cosh and away from home seem to happen to us all too often, it's just another area of our game that we're sadly lacking in. Should be so fucking basic as well.
