Hanshithispantz Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 If the Benfica fans actually think the referee had a bad game I'm astonished. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Fail to see what the ref did wrong.... all the big decisions were correct which is all you can ask for from a ref. He even gave you a penalty and you won the game actually that belongs in my pet hates " complaining at refs when you win the game". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except the one that went for them I can only imagine that Benfica fans aren't used to the physicality as much and wanted more fouls given when one of their players fell over holding their face?

Mole_Toonfan Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Tbf the offside is more on the linesman than the ref but yeah.... Edit: i just remembered the exact offside everyone is on about so yeah f*ck the ref. Edit x2: Clearly had too much to drink tonight oh well Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, a little bit. It's quite different, we don't allow so much contact here, a major part of what you consider normal, we consider it a foul That's also why you guys see our players as divers while we protest about the violent english play As far as I know, most of us Benfiquistas are complaining about the yellow cards given, too many for us too few for you. Personally, I think the ref wasn't that good, as all the french ref, but it's not like he decided the game or the tie, there was no significant mistake, so I see no point in discussing it.

Hanshithispantz Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Cabaye certainly should have been booked (I'm glad he wasn't though as he would have missed the 2nd leg ) But yeah, as you said it wasn't really a performance worth discussing Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
merlin Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 As soon as someone puts any kind of pressure on us, i expect us to lose. Thats down to Pardew. Tonight is very much down to santon. Hope Haidara can push him on to a higher level than this abysmal show tonight. Santon is NOT a good defender - I hope Haidara can keep him out of the side, never mind pushing him forward. FBs are there to defend, and he is very poor at doing it - would sell if the right offer came in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
merlin Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Think we have blown it unfortunately. Have to get a result against Fulham first before we think about next Thursday. Fail to do that and the alarm bells will be clanging as loudly as at any time in the season..... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Legendary Tiger Man Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 I really liked Sissoko, I didn't expect to see him playing so upfront but he did well, specially in the best period of United. Took us a bit too long before adjusting to his position. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pata Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Just got home after being "kettled". Anyone still think Benfica are world beaters? They were very average again. Unfortunately we were s**** . Lol, we played without our (maybe) 4 best players: Salvio, Lima, Enzo, and Maxi! Lets wait to 2nd leg. I can bet with you that you won't win the game. And take a look at this: http://kassiesa.home.xs4all.nl/bert/uefa/data/method4/trank2014.html in next year we will be the 6th best Team in Europe! We'll be in pote 1. So Benfica isn't very average, we are really a good team You played without 4 of your best players but I saw 3 of those you listed in the pitch today?

Took us a bit too long before adjusting to his position. I agree with you, from my point of view our front 4 so to speak played well( Jonas, Marveaux, Sissoko and Cisse) shame for us that it could not be replicated by our back 6.( except for Simpson who IMO played well) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
geordiesteve710 Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Any opinions about the ref behaviour? I think you did well out of him and the other officials, but probably not as well as you are used to being the 'Man Utd' of your league. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inu Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 By the way which Benfica players did you guys liked the most/less? Matic and Garay were top notch! Gaitan and Cardozo i dont like. Cardozo cause i dont really rate him any good even though he scores, hes a selfish player and can only shoot. Gaitan i didnt mind before today! Wish we had Matic in Garay in our team!

ElDiablo Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Thought Rodrigo looked lively in the first half, he's obviously going to be some player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheHoob Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Lima played and scored Anyway Ben Arfa, Coloccini, Debuchy, Gouffran & Tiote were all out or unavailable so that argument doesn't really hold up. Ben Arfa being out for us is pretty much the footballing equivalent of Peter North losing his bollocks. poignant Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wyn davies Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 thoughts, Taylor for the pen always a liability, taylor again at fault for the continuing passing back to the keeper placing Krul under pressure then giving it to Santon who dropped a rick. It appears to me there is too much passing back to the keeper and Taylor not a great defender for me as previously stated always a liability. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest benfiquista Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Nerve-wracking. I nearly threw the remote at my TV yesterday at our appaling defence and the lack of action from our coach. Newcastle were exploiting our defence from the same side every single time and nothing was done until the second half. Praise has to be given to NUFC for such an unexpected approach to the game which really caught Benfica off-guard. Looking forward to the second leg now. Roles will be inverted as Benfica can sit back and exploit the counter, whereas NUFC will have to penetrate our defence with patience and not speed. Classy NUFC fans by the way.

ujpest doza Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 I thought Benfica looked shit when we attacked them and there should be goals in this still for us.

Converesly i thought we looked shit when Benfica attacked us and there should still be goals in it for them!! Agree with this. There's no way they won't score at our place, so we might as well just go for it. Their quality in possession and movement the difference last night.
