Would be fun to win the league cup yet again next year after winning the semis and final on penalties for the third consecutive year :lol:

Feel a bit dirty for being happy over the Lucilio Cup but that one felt good, not going to lie.

Porto are better than us though, they'll deservedly win the league this season.
Trophies are trophies granted I would much rather win the league and the Taça de Portugal but a win especially against the other 2 is something I will always be happy about.

More worried with Setúbal than this one. We finished the game with Petrovic as Cb ffs. Porto was unlucky with Oliver and Sergio is cursed with us on the cups.:lol:
Hopefully this can kick start a good run of form I feel we needed this win. Only time will tell.

Our penalty came out of nowhere like literally. Also Porto can’t win a penalty shootout to save their lives.

He clearly doesn’t trust much more than 14 players and now we are going to the next game completely exhausted.

I don’t understand how we have not bought anyone. Dost has been horrible. He scores goals but against the big teams I miss a guy like Slimani who used to love these games !

Slimani is complete past it. But we need some one new I agree with you.

@broccoli The luck we usually have with Porto is the exact opposite against them.

A Porto staff member casually hitting a Sporting fan with his medal.

Fun part about this is nothing will happen to him, when the president of the club is one of the most famous criminals in the country then of course he can't have the authority to do anything about things like these. The club obviously has to be fine with it given it's the supporters who voted for the king of corruption to be in charge.

Will be fun to hear Conceição cry in the press conference about Porto being the victims Mourinho style :lol:

"O ambiente está a ficar insustentável' :houllier:

I don't care what anyone says there is no way Keizer is going to last if this keeps up. We literally concede a goal every single game. Do they even practice defense in training and defensive tactics? This team does not know how to defend at all and now we cant hide behind the fact of scoring 5 goals a game because we cant even do that anymore. What happened to the one touch football we started to play when he came?

Lets see what the second half brings but so far no so good.

Did Ristovski did anything wrong? Was doing a Inácio. Anyway regardless of that we have a lot of dumb players.

Nope. He got fouled and even had the mark on his head he protested it and got a straight red not even a yellow.

Thanks man. Not only we have problems related I guess with the way we are coached but we have a lot of dumb players. Going to be controversial here, but I would sell Bas Dost and Bruno Fernandes at the end of this season.

4th place conformed today as I also don't see us beating Benfica. We should look for a coach soon and have him ready to take charge in July also an overhaul in the squad. Sell some players make smart signings promote youth and revamp the squad. It is early and I am happy to be wrong but Keizer will not be the correct guy for the job. Since day 1 I pointed out how bad we were defensively despite the goals. 2 months later the goals have dried up but we are still conceding left and right.

Out: Petrovic, Jefferson, Montero, Diaby, Battaglia, Ristovski, Salin, Andre Pinto, Montero, Coates( only if we keep Mathieu or vise versa), *Bruno Fernandes I DO NOT want to sell but realistically he will be leaving in the summer and Bas Dost( wages are too high) for the right price if not then keep him because he is useful.

With these sales there will be plenty of money to revamp the squad with a mixture of youth and experience.

Bas Dost yes but if we were able to keep Bruno then no way I would sell him he is our best player and gives 100% BUT I dont think we will be in a position to not sell him.

Imo he makes a lot of bad decisions on the pitch not to mention everytime the level of the opponent goes up his performances drop. not a fan. For me only at the end of the season the manager situation needs to be evaluated, so far I would say to play like this I rather play some youngsters than this lot.

Like I said Keizer needs to go but not right now because there is no point. He should stay until May and then Obrigado e ate logo. He does not understand the reality of Portuguese football and I guess there is a reason he was not rated at Ajax and was up in the gulf.

Selling Bruno Fernandes and getting rid of Keizer are probably the stupidest things Sporting can do right now. Calm down, improve the squad and give him another season.

I am not saying today. I mean end of the season. I never was a big fan of BF and Dost against the popular opinion.

Even if you're not a fan I don't understand how anyone can think selling Bruno Fernandes is a good idea. He's clearly our best player.

The reality of Portuguese football is the less i care. I don't rate Conceição and he wins there. My problem isn't being foreigner, more that I don't see any evolution. Don't rate majority of coaches at Tugão.

Like I said, I don't think he is a OTT player and we will need to make money at the end of the season. Yes he scores a screamer here or there against the Tondelas or Aves of this lifes but that's all.

Luis Castro and Silas are both good coaches. Conceicao for what its worth is not a "bad" coach he remind me of JJ who is one of the best coaches ever the league has ever seen and the best Sporting has had in the past 18 years.

Exaggeration come on man Bruno is Class and his misfortunes against the bigger teams goes down to his team as well rather than just him.

That's not all though, he runs his half off, gives everything, is better on the ball than any other player and he's the key for us in pretty much every facet of the game.

Selling Bruno Fernandes would be an awful move, he's the best player in the league.

I don't like JJ. He is a big mouth and nothing more than that.

Its nothing personal, its just he is one of few players we can make money on.

I agree with some things you said but he is also one of the few who has market to be sold.

Here I don't agree with you. Hopefully we don't receive a award for best thread of the year. :lol:

He can be a big mouth or whatever you want too all him but he is the best tactical coach in the league by a pretty large margin and its not even close he is a winner. Best coach Sporting have had in 20 years. Maybe more. Did he earn a lot? yes he did but he "earned" that money with his CV with him our biggest transfers sold was made our most competitive years was with him. "oh he never won anything with us" true but I would argue that is not his fault considering things that happened.

No he isn't. Its a urban myth created on the portuguese media. But I respect your opinion. As I have to. :)

Come on SCP I saw what this guy did at Benfica ( granted they had "help") both in the league and in Europe against top sides. Defensively sound offensively a machine. Find me one Sporting season in the last 15 years better then 2015/16 we were incredible. Our record in the derbies with him were the best they have been in forever and I am not spitting out bs this is all facts. Granted his style of play and tactics are not for everyone and I understand that. He does not always play the "better" player but rather the player who understands his tactics better and makes the team work like the oiled machine he wants.

Me too.

They had a pornographic squad for the reality in Portugal. Sure he improved the performances compared to Quique Flores but he has a lot of friends on the media.

Believe me. Nothing of this to dismiss that I am not sure Keizer should be with us next season. Next game if we lose against the opponent who we know nobody likes to lose will define the rest of his stay here.

Yes and those signings were signings he wanted for fair amount of money that he sold for Double the amount.

Also I agree there is not way we beat Benfica on Sunday. But once again I dont see the point in sacking him until may 4th place is confirmed we will not finish in the top 3.

Fernandes and Jefferson spent the whole match in the ref's face. Ristovski tells him to feck off once and is sent off... weird.

I am not advocating sacking on the middle of the season, no way. Regarding JJ you have to add to the players sold the money invested. Another myth created by his friends on the media. Sorry, can't stand the guy. :D

its crazy also did you see the bump on his head? this ref is a fecking joke he literally sent him off for no reason.
