Benfica Away

[pfim]

11 players unavailable, that Benfica roster was littered with present and future Brazilian, Argentinian and Portuguese internationals.

ARE WE ALL GONNA IGNORE WHAT THIS THREAD SHARES A TITLE WITH FFS?!

True, but the players we would put out, and most definitely the tactics, would be more positive.

How do you work that out mate?

Look I understand you wish to use this thread to bash Moyes in some way, but its quite hard to be positive with 11 first team players missing.

It was my first thought.

That was my point....hadn't appreciated it on the night. Although, perhaps the Potuguese ale had some influence on that.

Some poor defending there. We shouldn't have come out until the 52nd minute.

Can't believe it wasn't mentioned earlier.

Went to Stadio de Luz last year (had a stadium tour) and I saw a cheeky lil' badge on the entrance wall to the pitch

Quite the opposite....never was a Moyes basher (get in the vaults if you beg to differ), although I'll admit to being uncomfortable with him during and after his departure purely based on the way he's treated his former employer.
I just think Roberto would have had something more about him that could've boosted the flagging morale at the time. Anyway, my original question was haw would the CURRENT team and manager fair against such a good side.

Maybe I upset you in the Poster of the Year thread by proposing Carlos21 and Mr Azul before you?

I hope God_Supports_EFC was banned permanently for ruining what could have been the greatest episode in GOT history.

Ok, no problem, can never be sure these days.

Then yes, im pretty sure the current Everton team could more than match most teams in the world on their day.
