Benfica is an absolute disgrace. No business whatsoever in the UCL. These guys don't even have the dignity to make two or three rough fouls towards the end of the game, to at least calm the opponent down and save themselves the humiliation of the final minutes.

 

NUFC was and is vastly superior in basically all aspects of the game.

 

How was your tea?

Bruno the obvious standout. Botman with a lowkey brilliant game, some lovely passing!

 

Absolutely loved some of Woltemades play, looks like he just does whatever is best for the situation rather than what might be best for him.

 

I was looking forward to that game quite alot, had a real CL feel for some reason. Really enjoyed it!

No more than we deserved. The moment that second one went in we went from the nervous, hanging on Newcastle side we've seen this season, into the one we've known well for the last 4 years, with its mojo back, and looking like we could have scored 5 or 6.

 

Really hope that that's the turning point for us. You could see the flow of the football at the end really coming together there. The league is a different kettle of fish, but you can only take positives from that.

 

Thought Benfica were utter garbage tbh, every worry I had in that match was down to our own sloppiness and that familiar nervousness creeping in. Ref was also predictably shite.

 

Pope: 8

Trippier: 6

Thiaw: 7

Botman: 7

Burn: 7

Miley: 7

Bruno: 8.5

Ramsey: 6.5

Murphy: 7.5

Woltemade: 7.5

Gordon: 9

 

Joelinton: 6.5

Great to see Barnes back on the score sheet with that rifle of a shot hes got, hope this is another one of his streaks hes hitting, Gordon finally reverting to the winger we saw in his 1st full season here, hope he can keep that up, midfield looked great despite the changes and Woltemade is just an obscene orchestrator of the game, I'm just gutted he didn't get on the score sheet tonight, he deserved it.

Brilliant performance. Great to see Gordon back to his best.

 

I'm sure someone's said it above, but we've now scored more three Champions League games than in eight games in the league! I'm sure the goals will come.

The two CBe were both absolutely stupendous again btw. Physical, savvy, good on the ball, won their duels, pressed high. Just brilliant. 

 

Lots of wonderful moments in that second half, like. But add Burn's torpedo to the ever-growing list of "fuck, I wish that had gone in"s.

 

The league is going to be hard work this year but we're gonna have a lot of fun in the cups I think.

We look like we haven't yet clicked and will take some time to do so.

 

But we also look like when the time comes where we do click, we'll be absolutely brilliant.

 

The third goal, is an example of the click I predicted.

 

It will come, a good bolognese takes time to develop flavour.

Reads like a Sporting Lisbon shit poster. [emoji38]
