For tomorrow?What is your predicted lineup ?
For tomorrow?
Trying to think the same way as he does, without the injured players:Yep.
Trying to think the same way as he does, without the injured players:
1- Patricio
2 - Cedric
3 - Guerreiro
4 - Fonte
5 - Rolando
6 - Ruben Neves
7 - Bernardo Silva
8 - João Moutinho
9 - André Silva
10 - Cristiano
11 - João Mário
If Pepe, William or maybe Coentrão were ok they would start, but I don't know if he is going to put tomorrow his favourite lineup or vs Netherlands.
I have to say this is based on his ideas, not sure if it will happen, but I guess in his mind he wants to play Egypt to create a scenario vs Morocco.That's actually quite a very good lineup with supposedly a very good offense.
He plays in Europe or Egypt?Keep your eyes on Trezeguet if he plays by the way.

All the qualified teams just make friendlies with teams that are geographically close to their opposition in their groups.I have to say this is based on his ideas, not sure if it will happen, but I guess in his mind he wants to play Egypt to create a scenario vs Morocco.

It makes very little sense from a tactical or stylistic point of view as very rarely do the teams share any similarities.
Zonal Marking made a few humorous tweets about it anyway:
Yeah, I can understand why the teams do this but it's still funny in a way, how all the teams are facing Morocco's neighbours in preparation.Actually maybe Iran style is more similar to Egypt than Morocco, but its never easy to recreate the perfect scenario.
That's actually quite a very good lineup with supposedly a very good offense.
As for us, I hope Cuper mix things a little bit and try some new recruitsz but he's very conservative and will probably play most of his usual lineup.
Hadary, Fathy, Gabr, Hegazi, Abd El-Shafy, Tareq Hamed, ElNenny, Trezeguet, El Said, Salah and Marowan or Koka.
Those in bold are the ones I hope we try some new recruits ahead of them tomorrow and in the upcoming friendlies. El Said especially has big problems with his local club currently ( The club that I actually support) that may affect his fitness the upcoming games.
Keep your eyes on Trezeguet if he plays by the way.
Hopefully we'll enjoy this. Looking forward for Hegazi vs Ronaldo.![]()
Yesterday’s game we used players that wouldn’t be in Russia but our problem is our defense and knowing Santos plays defense then we do have a problem and yesterday I was able to confirm Santos can’t read a game...holland had 5 defenders and he didn’t change the game. Mendes is paying to Santos and Valverde for sure so he can have his player walking around.I am already going to downgrade our best case scenario. When we qualified and after the draw I thought with a good defensive organization and a bit of luck maybe we could reach the QF. After yesterday I am going to say now the best scenario for us is if we are able at least to make 4 points and qualify to the last 16.
And that will involve not having a heavy defeat vs Spain, at least a draw with Morocco, and a win over a revengfull Carlos Queiroz. Must say I have been warning to this for a few months.
Santos needs to be brave and take some players out from this squad imediately, Pepe needs to recover and I even would bring Ruben Dias to the squad, even without experience.
I would only choose 3 CB's for now: Pepe - Luis Neto - Ruben Dias, and in last case scenario one of Danilo or William play there if we have problems with suspended players, bring Ruben Neves, no need to choose 4 when they are simply awfull.
For now would start the competition with Pepe and Luis Neto.
Fonte, Alves, or Rolando simply are a waste of time, they have no more future, it smells all like 2014 again imo.

If Benfica wins this again I am going to leave the country, followed by the next WC group stages we have.Belenenses keeper saving everything tonight.

Normally the only posters here who follow the results are the portuguese posters and @NYAS as far I can remember, incredible choke by Porto here, they lost the league today imo.Tend to watch the late Sunday and any Monday games.

Don't talk me about that one, so fed up with Jorge Jesus don't even want to see us playing in Madrid, actually Braga is playing well under Abel, I was one of the posters here who said during the season he was crap, not only he embarassed Jesus but also Naggelsman 2 times in the Europa League.Yeah I don't watch every game but try to watch the big ones like Lisbon derby and Porto v either of them. Watched a fair bit of Braga-Sporting at the weekend aswell.
I follow Portimonense as you well know...even been to a game there this season. By the way what a result for them this weekend.Normally the only posters here who follow the results are the portuguese posters and @NYAS as far I can remember, incredible choke by Porto here, they lost the league today imo.
