4 points. Nice.

[Myself 793]

sell courtois buy patricio

Don't even joke...

[jeronimo 130]

Pretty unbelievable game. On another day we would have put past at least 4.

In the end we held on and got the result we were after.

[Eidur the Spider 4,515]

They don't make it easy for themselves do they?

Positives: Matic was sublime today (dat pass to Costa), Oscar was superb and deserved a goal or two. Costa is a fucking beast. LOVE watching him lead the line, so glad he's ours

Rui Patricio had a stormer, HATE Nani and that dick who kept chopping down Hazard.

Good three points! Woop woop!

Sporting are a good team.

Left themselves exposed but they played well.

We missed infinite number of chances, made it dangerous.

[MichaelDance 552]

Hold on..ahhhh don't go backwards

Phew done...my 4 1 prediction lol way off

Haha I thought 1 - 2

It's a hard one between Courtois, Matic, Oscar and as Courtois did amazing in goal I think he's our Man of the Match today.

[LAM09 6,741]

We got the win!!!!!

[laeth 527]

Their keeper played a blinder. Should of been 0-4.

[Cholo 428]

3 pts. Good performance. I am fully satisfied.

[Ainsley Harriott 2,732]

Aw man that was close, we could've gotten a draw! Anyways this was a fantastic game, I really enjoyed it... So nice to see my Sporting back on the CL spotlight.

Patrício saved us from an embarassement tbh, what a game he had. With one point things are tougher for us to go through but at least Schalke and Maribor tied.

GG my fellow posters.

[Sheva. 5,373]

Should have been easier. But our defending was good and they didn't have a clear chance to equalize.

[Rom2013 446]

We are in a great position in Champions League. Schalke didn't win... we are going to be first and we can rotate a little in the next game.

Oscar can't miss that goal. it's the second in consecutive games.

[zolayes 14,489]

Should have been easier. But our defending was good and they didn't have a clear chance to equalize.

HOW the fuck was that 1 O

[LayZ 201]

Top of the group...yay..

[Blue Traveler 256]

Fucking circus of a performance. we missed like 10 fucking sitters!!!

[CHOULO19 24,332]

What a weird game. Matic probably scored from the toughest chance we had all evening!

[Daniel1980 1,425]

Good game by the team. I thought Matic, Oscar, Fabregas, Hazard all played well--both offensively and defensively.
Andre's finishing was woeful. Costa and Oscar's finishing wasn't good today. And Salah should have scored after Cesc's through ball.
