match thread (image) [FT] Benfica 3 - 3 Rangers (Goncalves 24og; Kamara 25; Morelos 51)

[DMAA 3,658]

Strong side from Benfica, but not their strongest. No Waldschmidt who is currently their top goalscorer on 5 in 8 games, with 2 assists. No Darwin Nunez either who is their second top goalscorer on 4 goals in 8 games, and has an impressive 5 assists. If anything they have maybe gone slightly more defensive as Pizzi is more of an attacking midfielder I think.

Looks like a 4-5-1 formation,feel sorry for Arfield as he has been a star performer so far.

What's happened to young Hagi  these days doesn't seem to be getting many starts.

You might be haunted by a spectre but I am not!

Arfield will be gutted, and Jack replacing him weakens our side on current form IMO.

 

If that is a weakened Benfica side then all the better, I will definitely take a draw tonight without a doubt.

Thought he might have kept Jack for the last half hour or so but still happy with that team.  Come on then!
