Milan 17,959 Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 For a few seconds I was thinking that Ramires could be used as a winger instead of Hazard. However, he will be used in the midfield as Luiz will surely play as CB with Ivanovic. Moses it is then. Still, Hazard would be such an asset.

Kojo 4,676 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. Isn't this the team with that arse hole as a manager? Who we played last season in the Champions League, he's called Jesus somethingEither way what a fucking tosser that guy was, couldn't agree more, team full of bell ends.

Blue-in-me-Veins 4,067 Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 What's wrong with Hazard Closing moments of the game, tweaked his hamstring and had to come off. Shame really cuz that pretty much rules him out for Wednesdays EL Final, even though it didnt look to be a full tear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bir_CFC 3,455 Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 No way Hazard will be able to come back for this one. The only negative from today with both JT and Hazard getting injured, really sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy. 2,742 Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 oh okay, tbh i think we should still win this without Hazard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHOULO19 24,332 Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 I don't usually watch the Portuguese league and I've never really paid close attention to Benfica. I already knew that their defense was not that good, but from this Porto game, they look terrible in the air. haven't been able to deal properly with anything that has come into their box.

Dont be so naive, they are with their heads in Amsterdam and not in the Portuguese League!All Porto can do is level their points and UEL is a very big trophy for Portuguese fans (specially after Porto won it a couple of years ago). I bet they are thinking about another shade of blue...Benfica is a great team, better than Villa or any other team we faced throughout the campaign to the final. They will play much better than today and we have to be careful. We should still be able to win, even without Hazard, but Moses, Torres and our pivot will have to be focused 100% of the time. Mata, Oscar, Ramires, Dave, Luiz, Ashley and Cech must all lead the team and play at their full potential. We need to take our chances, conterting our chances will be crucial, since I dont believe we will have that many chances. We cant let this be another Atletico nor another Corinthians!We have the chance to win Europa League for the first time, lets have some respect and not dismiss their chances...

If Porto score one more and win they will go top with only one match to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue-in-me-Veins 4,067 Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 We need to mark Cardozo all the time.SIKE! If Cahill is defending then watch him guide Cardozo to the goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
