We’ve not really been doing it an awful lot, their press is making us go long pretty quick. Back 4 & McGregor taking 0 risks in that regard, which is good to see.Thought Kent tracked back well first half and broke play up a few times as did Arfield. This playing out from the back to keep possession gies me the heebies sometimes tho.
Looks like Standard down to 10.
Maybe later on. Alfie's causing them a lot of bother...I wonder if this would be a good game for Itten, we have not really managed to keep the ball due to the quality of their pressing. He would give us a much needed out ball
Relax Mr McStaunchyI don't give a big poo how good they are. I still want us to get a better grip.
As far as being new, I've been a fan for 60+ plus years. How new are you?
I agree, but unless he’s coming on for Roofe then he’s not coming on. Alfie holding the ball up superb.I wonder if this would be a good game for Itten, we have not really managed to keep the ball due to the quality of their pressing. He would give us a much needed out ball
Agree with that, but we are also very good. It’s actually a really good game to watch. Very happy at the way we have taken the lead and keeping it.1-0 HT
They are good.
They are a very good side, stats so far they have 55% possession, 30 dangerous attacks to our 17 and 2 corners to our none. Hope we can attack a bit more in second half to compliment our excellent defending.
Too right, vaccined up to the eyeballs by thenFeels bizarre that we’re beating Benfica and haven’t played fantastically well.
See you all in The Gdańsk.
Not necessarily. Both Benfica and Lech could still catch us.If we win, are we through? Sorry, absolutely knackered after work and brain not working!
No change there. But you just have to live with that. He's there for his shot stopping ability (and his hard stare).Shaggers kicking brutal
Some delay you’ve got on your feedThat's your right back having a header off the bar there!
Doesn't matter...not as funny as it was in my head.What?
They are playing a 4-2-4 which we are having to cope with by pulling Kent and Morelos back, I don’t expect in fact they won’t play like this for the full 90 minutes - see out to the 60th and we will win 2-0We're putting some shift in here. We're having to though. Benfica are a really good team. Some top players. Rangers one up and doing us proud once again. Would take that all day long.
We need a gers win & a Standard win to qualify tonight.If we win, are we through? Sorry, absolutely knackered after work and brain not working!
To be safe against Benfica I think you need 4Very good. The speed of our attack is frightening. Benfica look dangerous though would like a second
I agree with this.I think Barker could play an effective wee cameo here at some point

We've conceded one goal in the first half in twenty two games this season.
That's absolutely incredible.
He actually passed to Arfield via the crossbar, just taking the piss nowI've thought of something we can complain about.
Tav missed a sitter.
No he didn't, he has Arfield first goal scorer and wanted another assist, so battered it off the bar, right to Scotty's feet.I've thought of something we can complain about.
