Alright Jarra mate, you away at sea? Never did share those beers with you & Jax. When you back next then?
You must have watched different game ??? To lose to a top team like that due to daft mistakes is the frustrating thing. I am not really a pardew fan however tonight I think he got it right, if we play like that tonight for the remainder games in the prem we will e fine
QWOP to be fair, in a 30 mins period 1st half you could have had 2 more goals but for the post. That said, in the 2nd half at one point I thought you were going to concede a hatful and bringing The 6ft 4' plank was the wrong move. You needed a bit of stability in there to stop them playing. At 2-1 its a good 2nd leg. at 3-1 I think you may do more harm to your season fighting for a result next Thursday than good. Any tired legs in a derby will be punished.
Got a feeling it won't be such a strong team out. Debuchy should be back who can't play in Europe anyway as will gouffran
I am afraid it shows are weak we are when we are not even competitive against a middling European side. They would be a top 8 (top 4, Arsenal, Everton and Liverpool are currently better) side in the PL. We got thumped like the relegation candidates that we are. If you wish to delude yourself then feel free. There are reasons we are playing **** (not all of them are player personnel reasons)
Alright mate. No still at home. Should of been away last week but been hooked from my ship for what ever reason. Waiting on another one. Could of been to benfica tonight if the company had give me a new joining date. Just sitting at home with my thumb up my arse
If we nick an early goal we should go for it. Otherwise, we should just not bother. I know that is the wrong attitude but I fear for our survival. We had too many plodders on tonight and it will largely be the same in the home leg.
Absolutely not. I appreciate Benfica are a good side (better than us for sure) but to not even be able to compete is a farce.
What game were you watching? Scored 1, hit woodwork twice and gave them 2 goals on a plate... Against the team who will win the Portuguese league at a canter.... Oh... And on their turf. The individual mistakes aside we played well.
Aye. No idea when I'm back mind. Don't even know if I'm back in brazil. Looking more like Africa or North Sea.
Well I'm not grafting atm so good anytime. Have a word with Jackie, try to arrange summat & pm me about it alright?
If this was Qpr at home or away in fact I'd be gutted. We have an away goal. And when you consider we have won one game away from home all season in all comps, what were you expecting against opposition like this. The fact we scored, we have a chance. Worse teams have beaten us this season. They needed two mistakes of our own doing to beat us.
Again, as I said, I know they are a good side but we were 2nd best for the majority. My main beef is not the result (I expected it) it was the fact we could not do the basics. No fight, no desire and just not good enough. We have been duff pretty much all season. This is just a continuation.
if ameobi had been sent off he would have been suspended for the next European game. It wouldn't affect him in the domestic competitions.
