A better team than villa would have probably made us pay yesterday. Def needs to be better on Wednesday but I expect it will be. Boys seem to get themselves up for the CL. Torres to start again no matter what drogs situation is, getting sharper in front of goal with each succession of games

As long as the players don't slip into complacency after what happened today and 2 years ago against Liverpool, we should be fine.

Also, in all the 5 times we've won the away leg in the CL KO stage, we've drew all the home legs!

Just a little bit team news of some sort on Benfica; Jorge Jesus made 3 changes at the weekend in their 2-1 win over Braga from the side that faced us. He completely left out Jardel and Emerson from their matchday squad with Capdevilla and Miguel Vitor replacing them. Wondering if that has anything to do with their performance last Tuesday. Also, Rodrigo started that game in place of Aimar as the latter was serving a suspension.

Emerson was suspended.

Jardel is injured.

Unfortunately, for the game against Chelsea, we just have 1 central defender: Luisão. Miguel Vitor injured too.

We must play with Javi Garcia and Luisão with central defenders.

EDIT: By the way, is Garay out for the 2nd leg??

No

Oook. Thanks.

By the way, this is no April Fool joke, right? lol

Its true mate, Jardel and Garay are injured. They have just one CB availbale for the Chelsea game. JJ said he has confidence in Emerson so probably he will be played at CB alongside Luisao. I just hope its true. Torres will send Emerson to the bins. Meh, that guy is just too slow. Or is it Ramires that was just too fast?

You wish Emerson goes to CB :angry:

He is our weak spot, most of Benfica fans, can't understand why Capdevila doesn't play.

Ramires is a top player, you bought him very cheap.
