OzzieMandias Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Judging by your manager's words United will be patient instead of going all out attack. He may be bluffing. I believe he's correct anyway, we'll be looking to use our offensive players pace on the counter if you guys come with everything from the beginning of the game. I wouldn't expect such an high defensive line - unless you give us the ball every time. Btw, we are undefeated for 35 games in a row in all competitions, setting up a new record for portuguese teams. The prior record was 33 games (Mourinho, Porto). Just numbers, still interesting though. Eight european games in this period. 7W, 1D. 2-0 Spartak, 2-1 Celtic, 0-0 Barcelona, 0-1 Bayer Leverkusen, 2-1 Bayer Leverkusen, 1-0 Bordeaux, 2-3 Bordeaux and 3-1 against you guys. I believe St James Park will be the 2nd or 3rd most difficult european game; Camp Nou 1st, Leverkusen or Newcastle 2nd. Surely a tight game. Well, you're going to have to lose sooner or later.

Optimistic Nut Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 I've not been keeping up here, but are Haidara/Tiote back? According to PhysioRoom Haidara is and Tiote is back for the derby. If Tiote's fit for Sunday, I'd sooner play Cabaye Thursday and hope for the best. Worst case scenario against Sunderland is that we'll have something like Tiote, Jonas & Anita.

Guest P.Aimar10 Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 i wasn't very impressed with Ola John in the first leg but Krul seems to rate him quite highly so he could still cause damage. Ola John is the type of player that can go unoticed for a big part of the match and then pull off a stunt like this one agaisnt Leverkusen: HERPTHEPORTUGUESEDERP About the game, as a benfica fan Im not really confident because SJP is gonna be boiling and having a cracking atmosphere that will be hard for the benfica players, theyre pretty much used to playing at home almost all the matches. Away at Bordeuax and Leverkusen we had at least 10000 fans in each stadium. Good luck and I hope Newcastle avoids relegation because such an historic club deserves nothing less than the premierleague. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here man If Benfica manages to get through I hope you guys at least hammer Scumderland(I saw someone say that herexD) and avoid relegation to make up for it. Ive been a long time lurker of forums from away teams that benfica faces, and out of all of them(everton, liverpool, chelsea, man utd e.t.c) you guys are the most humble and down to earth, and definetely the best so far. Sorry in advance for the diving our players do, you see, here in our league, physical contact is mostly frowned upon in favour of tecnical football, so it might get in the nerves of fans from a much more physical league like yours.

Nah its not You see Newcastle is a better club than Everton IMO, and yet when we trashed them 5-0, when I lurked their forums I saw some of their fans demand a 7-0 win at Goodison Park to make up for it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
