When the dust settles and we pick the bones of our back to back games against benfica, yes we've thrown away a 2 goal lead twice, home and away to benfica, but we're still in a very good place for qualification, to the europa league round of 32ðŸ‘Yes we could/ should have sewn up our qualification by now, with the position we got ourselves in both home and away to benfica, but they're a quality team, no doubt about that and we were a match for them and more at times, in both games. We've all got to be happy with where our club is at present 👌A wee mention on kemar roofe, who's now close to full fitness and is showing his class, with another terrific goal tonight! His goals per game ratio for us already is pretty impressive and he is a quality player 👌Roofe undoubtedly will be a very big player for us going forward!

SGL totally agree mate. Benfica are no mugs whatsoever and i'm delighted with where were at. More to come.

SGL, you've mentioned they are a quality team but we are a better team. Let's be honest, we've blown it twice against them. Tavs performance was the worst I've seen all season as he's been fantastic. don't care if you say I'm being negative but we should of won both these games. On a positive note, I did cash out at 2 nil, so got £23 for my tenner.

Good post sgl.

We're all gutted to drop a 2 goal lead again but I think we'd all have swapped any point of the last 8 years to draw twice with Benfica. The players will learn and will earn 55 if they keep believing.

Thought also that glen kamara was my motm tonight and was immense in midfield again for us 👌He's so slick and smooth in his midfield play and has terrific technique 👌
Glides across the park effortlessly,
so he does! As i've said many times on here its the best 50k we'll ever spend 👠He's a class act and i've no doubt we'll struggle to keep hold of kamara, beyond this coming summer.

Hard to fault but I think mcgregor and goldson need to have a look at these goal kicks. We were cruising then this passing a goal kick to goldson on the goal line started again. Benfica started picking us off as we struggled to get out, it just put us under pressure and gave them belief and the momentum. Last 10 we end up hanging on but I thot it was self inflicted tonight. We invited them on and when u do that good teams can pick the lock around the box. Still a point isn't the worst result and should see us through.

Don't like this playing out from the back against such good players. Heart in the mouth time. However, it's a brolliant effort to get to where we are in Europe. I just need to hark back to Pedro and Progres and I always feel a whole lot better.

HWG55,about your point with mcgregor and Goldson, said the exact same watching the game last night, at 2-0 up why are we dicking about with goal kicks, just take a long kick, if we lose possession it’s 60-70 yards up the pitch, the won’t score from there. unless the had Kemar Roofe! 😂😂.

S.g.l. i'd give alfie my motm mate, the way he dropped back, and him playing further back than normal, he worked his butt off, mate.
