I think we are doing ok at the moment, can't expect good team like Benfica won't have no chance would you?

Although I am not happy we are wasting most of our possession, yes we had couple of pretty good chances, but apart from that we are failing to create with our possession!

We need to up our game, or else Benfica is going to get more chances in the second half!

Eh, which way do I look? I'm confused.
 
Its in the balance at the moment.

We had some luck at the back and have looked pretty good (compared to recent games) going forward. We can definatly score in this game.

If only Distin can actually pick his man up at the back we can hopefully stop them having any decent chances.
 
But are both playing attacking midfield? at the beginning it seemed Fellaini was playing more defensive, the problem is, neither of them is defensive-minded, and they both tend to go forward too much.

They are, but one of them, alongside Rodwell, has got to offer an outlet for the back four. Fellaini is playing reasonably well but alot of his good play has been in the final third, I'd like to see him picking the ball up infront of the back four so we can start playing. You should always have two midfielders looking to get on the ball.

Everyone Rodwell picks up the ball there is a massive gap between him and his four offensive midfielders, it makes it hard for us to retain possession because there are few passing options.
