We are literally speaking like Barca fans who used to say we dominated the game but were unfortunate to go out cos of poor finishing and defensive tactics when they lost to Inter and chelsea.Yea thats so Barca-esque :lol2:
Benfica taught us a lesson in defending today.An Italian team received a dose of its own medicine so we have nothing to speak or complain abt here really.

Leave me out of that waggon. We were outplayed, my hat's off to Benfica even though they pissed me off with their acting today.

We were eliminated fair and square, should accept it as it is. We simply weren't good enough over the two legs.

klaipedian logic is brilliant
What was the final score? Did we get through, please remind me.

And before that please tell me what is the whole point of outplaying the oponent if not to win, then when you answer this answer if we did not win and they won, how did we outplay them?

Are you trying to say we didn't far outplay them over the two legs? For, we certainly did. We just were piss-poor with our finishing, and they scored twice from 4 chances over the entire two legs.

Congrats to Benfica for going through, but we were the much better team. Sometimes better teams lose. For example, basically every team that lost to Chelsea during their winning of the UCL.
No, we should have won considering the team we faced, the circumstances, the actual level of our team, etc.

Yeah, we went out cause we didnt play as good in the first half, and got raped by clinical finishing, where we were wasteful.

Raz,every team has its list of playactors mate.
If we were say in the semi of the cl against Barca for imstance and were potentially going thru,we wud've also done bit of the same with all that time wasting in the dying mins.

These things are common in football and we gotta accept it and move on really.

mostly from set pieces.

I would not agree with that too. us or the I don't care. I would hand long long bans with after game video to those who play act. I can't stand this part of the game.

Fake a free kick if you want, outsmart a defender, but teh constant rolling and screaming as if a leg was amputated or half of their face splashed with acid is disgraceful.

Thing is im not even mad at them right now.
Im just totally depressed at our result.Its all our fault.
I said before the season started, 3-5-2 won't cut it in Europe. You need to have wide players capable of taking on their man, consistently.

we played 4-3-3 when giovinco came on, I don't think we played any better with that change in shape
It's little different if you use it once a year as an emergency and without proper wide players. It doesn't have to be 4-3-3, but I'd like to see 4 men backline for the next season.

Agreed. Benfica showed a lot of grit and fortitude to pull it off, despite some foul play and some dubious refereeing. They deserved to go through, not Juve, and I hope they break the curse.
not that I doubt the sincerity in your intentions but ... does the missus happen to be a Benfica supporter? :p
