Hanshithispantz Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 I think most people do though? It's just made out the the entire forum is relentlessly anti-Pardew at times which I don't think is the case. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just made out the the entire forum is relentlessly anti-Pardew at times which I don't think is the case. Nah, obviously. Both 'sides', if there are sides, engage in massive generalisation of other people's views. I should remember to avoid posting about what other people think completely, it's the most annoying type of debate on here by far. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Aye, you're absolutely spot on there tbh. I'm guilty of the same too Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Stats mean absolutely f*ck all, especially when a lot of Benfica's attempts were pot shots from long range. As you can tell i'm still hurt by this result Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 There's no substitute for eyesight and gut feeling. Obviously the score means everything in the end, but after that most stats mean nothing compared to using your eyes. We may get 30 corners, but it means nothing if you're shit at corners.

The thing with stats showing a lot of corners, it shows that the team had attacking intent. You don't win many corners from your own half like.

Hanshithispantz Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Stats mean fuck all but in this case they do, Benfica were clearly the better side on the whole and the stats back that up Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 I thought they ran the game outside of 30 minutes (20 mins at the start of the first and 10 at the start of the second) but that was to be expected with them being the favourites, at home and a goal down fairly early on. 3-1 is still a kick in the pods though, given the opportunities we created. A one goal defeat would have been somewhat palatable, but two takes the piss a bit with how the game unfolded. It's not like they were carving us open time and time again.

TRon Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Stats mean fuck all but in this case they do, Benfica were clearly the better side on the whole and the stats back that up Benfica were the better team on the night, but I believe we have better players individually. They were led well and had more purpose and that paid off in the end. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fiftynotout Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Was at the match and on the flight home, NO ONE repeat NO ONE could believe we were 2 goals behind at the end. We all thought that, had Marveaux passed to Cisse t make it 2 -0 they would have crumbled - their crowd was very dissatisfied and getting angry with certain players - their goal inspired the crowd and their team. Their defence isn't that good but they will probably score at SJP so we will need at least 3! Probably too much to hope for. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ameritoon Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Also might be giggs, but did anyone else notice the police/riot squad performing some tactical maneuver behind the right goal and into the stands?

Fiftynotout Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Our driver (Benfica season ticket holder) said that unfortunately the police often "just start hitting fans" in that end if someone says something! we had a canny view and it was not a "tactical manouever" it was a full on police charge and battens were being well flayed! Our police take some stick but the alternative is frightening Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was some point in the first half, I think. Was Red on Red infighting amongst the Benfica fans. When they scored the camera panned to the crowd standoff with the bizzies in between them.
