The only place to be 11,313 Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 Thank god we wrapped up top four so we can actually enjoy this. Would be great to win it but that will be much tougher if Hazard misses out, as I'm pretty sure he will. Might be worth protecting him from further damage even if he's borderline, and that sums up what I think about this competition. CechAzpi Luiz Ivanovic Cole Ramires LampardOscar Mata Moses TorresSubs: Turnball, Bertrand, Cahill, Mikel, Ake, Benayoun, MarinCould see Luiz in midfield with Cahill in defence and Lamps on the bench, but I'd be happy either way.Benfica are a good team and have a great chance, but we should really win this so we can have something to celebrate on Sunday. Be interesting to see if we wear the new kit too. Looking forward to another European trophy win to be honest, and another great night celebrating.

Jase 43,479 Posted May 11, 2013 Author Share Posted May 11, 2013 If anyone wants to scout our opposition, Benfica will face Porto away tonight in their league. The former are only ahead of Porto at the top by 2 points. And the game will kick off at 8.30pm UK time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Skipper 20,609 Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 We'll miss Hazard, but Moses does seem to pick up his game for Europa League games. If Hazard's out, I have faith in Moses producing a good performance. If we win this it would wrap up a decent season by our standards. Top four + a European trophy. Not bad considering the amount of palava we've been through this year. Could've been more trophies though but oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yeboii 1,844 Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 Oscar was rested for this game so he will definetly be in it. Moses always seems so score in european games so he might just start Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
didierforever 7,349 Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 seriously dont care. if we win then greatttttttttttt.... if we lose its okay. this has season has been so depressing , so topsy-curvy that all i wanted was a top 4 and there were times in the not so distant past that even top4 had seemed a fantasy. anyways the marathon season ends on wednesday (in a way). the players should turn up for this one all charged up and trying to win somethin and end the season on an ultimate high.team seems pretty straight-forward to mecechazpi iva cahill colerambo luizoscar mata hazard(moses)torressubs- turnbull, lamps, benayoun, bertrand, moses(ferreira), mikel, ake.

He will definitely need to up his game more against Benfica, if he does indeed start this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liquidator 5,176 Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 oh great not this bunch again. Can't wait for their play acting and conning of the officials and Cardozo going down like a ton of bricks at every opportunity. One of my least favourite teams in Europe with a squad full of bellends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jype 6,398 Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 If someone wants, Benfica against Porto right now...Hard to decide whether or not I want Benfica to win today. Them winning would seal them the title and they could still be a little hungover for the final but it could also mean them playing more relaxed after winning one trophy already. Porto winning could either depress them or drive them on to do better on Wednesday.A draw it is, then.Would it be wrong to hope for a couple of minor knocks to Benifca players to even things up as we lost Eden today?
