The Mak 4,459 Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Except From Rafa and his CV...Exactly mate! I'm pretty sure it was clear to everyone that Hazard's season was over, but he still brought him for the extremely vague hope that he would be fit...smacks of desperation!Either that or Hazard is there for the LOLs.

Also Ba and Romeu have travelled. . Surely not because of the vague hope that they will play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HRiver 1,512 Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 If I'm totally honest, I don't see us winning. Even with Hazard or our full team or whatever, I just see it as a game similar to the Super Cup; as in, one side cares a lot more about the trophy than we do.I feel the same way, I think the players just won't be bothered. In fact I expect Benfica to attack us exactly the same way Atletico did, this time with Cardozo netting the goals instead of Falcao. Can honestly see him score at least two.

yuvala 2,167 Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Ramires on the wing is usually a disaster ...Benayoun on the wing is never good. (sorry fellow countryman...)Perhaps, Benitez will make the Cole-Bertrand bond on the left? to keep Cardozo busy (Cardozo is a RW right? I'm not mistaken am I?)I would honestly consider Marin.

Cardozo is nowhere near the class of Falcao and Benfica are not able to play the same way Atletico did. Cardozo is extremely slow, slower than Luiz or Cahill and not as strong as Ivanovic. Despite his height, his major strength is his extremely cool finishing, given space and time, we can't afford to give him this and I am sure Rafa won't.

robdog 2,084 Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Not sure if it has been mentioned here, but Benfica are cursed. The Curse of The Mad Hungarian will prevent Benfica from winning the Europa Cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Changingman_2000 876 Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Shouldn't disrespect this game, or the tournament in general. Money ain't the be all and end all, its already ruined the game as it is. I am well up for us winning this, as I would be in any competition, Premier League, Champions League, F.A. Cup, League Cup, Zenith Data Systems Cup, you name it.As for Mikel, he can fuck right off. His comments a few weeks ago that he can't raise himself for Europa League games was frankly pathetic. I presume that he aint interested in playing in such a low key game as tonight then?? He's hardly covered himself in glory this season so should have kept his mouth firmly shut.As I said, big game and I am right up for it. Any player who don't fancy it tonight or can't "motivate" themselves should be left at home and listed for being cunts, as well as a few other reasons.

BlueLion. 21,491 Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 It speaks volumes of the Europa League when the two finalists were both quarter-finalists in, (and of course the winners of,) last season's Champions League. This is no Mickey-Mouse cup and we are going to have to be at our absolute best tonight. A defeat could be devastating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
