We’ve actually got a rather accessible pathway considering our 20th place finish in the group phase so tbh i wouldn’t bet against us grinding it all the way to the QF’s with a bit of luck, but i guess just advancing past the play-off might already be a huge task for this current bunch, hopefully...

No words needed, just take a look at our results this January alone…

Although it looks like we finally broke the curse of endless draws it seems that we’ve instead transitioned to now losing two games in a row… hopefully this was the lowest point of the season and we will start turning it around from here because it’s hard to imagine it getting any worst...

They’ll give the players another extra day off for their achievements

So 2nd defeat in a row for our invincibles? At least we finally broke the trend of consecutive draws right

Damn spoke too soon, what a shot… we were totally outplayed on that move

Thankfully Benfica’s finishing is just as lame as ours

Di Maria subbed out without getting his automatic ex Juve goal means a draw is still very much possible here

Lacks chemistry with the rest of the team but hasn’t been half as bad as some make it out to be, he is gradually improving even if he’s not necessarily impressive.

Seems like Vlahovic can’t even get one freekick right this season, was like his bail out card, not sure what happened there

I’ve voted to keep but only temporarily, another month with the new signings and hopefully less injuries to see if there will be any real improvements, otherwise it’s just out of skepticism regarding who we might replace him with, both short term and long term.

Calma, surely Motta will make some tactical adjustments and talk some sense into the team to turn this game around in the second half as we’ve learned to expect

Somebody injure that Pavlidis dude before Giuntoli buys him for record fee to replace Vlahovic and find out later that he usually scores even less than he did lol

We’ve already had a couple of good chances that were completely wasted, surely there’ll be more as the game goes on because their defense isn’t all that solid either, just got to pounce on them.

Do we even train long balls or crosses into the box!? Literally all of them end up in the GK hands with relative ease

To me it looks like Douglas Luiz is completely lacking chemistry with the rest of the team… Think we’ll score at least once because Benfica also seems to be suspect defensively, but unfortunately we’ll also likely concede a few more given how easily they create clear chances…

I know it’s a forced choice atm but Locatelli as CB is a joke, completely out of his depth despite generally being good defensively he is easily caught out

Although not a fellow bricklayer i must add that the Antonio Silva guy from Benfica(that we were about to break bank for lol) is in close competition with him as the most meme CB, imagine that duo if Giuntoli would have gotten his way

Basically only one actual defender, and he was also mainly at fault for the goal lol

In this one a draw sure wouldn’t be something i’d rule out, but i think we’ll actually play our best available XI and try to go for the win here, there’s every reason to finish as up the table as possible, both financially and for a better chance to advance to the even later stages.
