Who is to blame? Injuries, Players, Paulo Bento?

No Tranquilidade? Discuss.
Portista
Goalkeepers and defence imo. Both are so damn week.

Paulo Bento uses the same substitions in every game and they never work. i dont understand how he doesnt get that. lol.

I hope the poor form continues though. rolleyes.gif

Some of the tactics could be better. Sometimes it looks like Sporting just try to cross it in the box 50 times and not really using any tactics. Not taking enough advantadge of Veloso and Moutinho's skills and they don't do that much in game compared to last season.


Lol, coincedentally Sporting is also doing crap in my FM game. 3rd place but the gap of points is huge from the top 2.

Mid field has sucked bad this year.... no speed coming forward.....no service for Liedson.....Patricio was the direct cause of the last two ties...... or maybe the defense since I guess they should never allow a shot on net according to some of you sofunny.gif

If we have been so so bad then why no talk about how disappointing Benfica has been? 1/3 of the way through one of our worst seasons and we are only 5 points out of 2nd place? Im pissed at our performance this year but I find it funny Benfica fans seem to be happy with their performance? Are you guys just happy to be infront of Sporting since you dont think your in Porto's league? sofunny.gif

Polga: "Temos de ser fortes em todos os sentidos"

Em conferência de Imprensa, realizada na Academia Sporting/Puma, Anderson Polga fez a antevisão do jogo a contar para a Taça de Portugal, com o Louletano, a realizar no Estádio José Alvalade (sábado às 17h00).

O defesa central brasileiro acredita que será um jogo difícil, como todos os outros e afirmou que não pode haver erros, uma vez que é uma competição a eliminar. "Com a experiência que temos contra este tipo de adversários, sabemos que temos de fazer as coisas com calma, sem ansiedade. Eles vão marcar muito forte, por isso temos de entrar muito concentrados e aproveitar as oportunidades que criarmos. Temos de ser fortes em todos os sentidos. Jogamos em Alvalade, perante os nossos adeptos. Se fizermos as coisas certas desde o início, os aplausos vão surgir. Nós nunca deitaremos a toalha ao chão. Continuem a apoiar-nos que a resposta virá", disse o brasileiro em jeito de repto aos adeptos «leoninos».

Em relação à crise de resultados, Polga considerou que o maior problema tem sido a falta de sorte, uma vez que "os golos que temos sofrido, raramente acontecem e, quando se sofre golos assim, é mais difícil reagir".

O único campeão do Mundo a actuar em Portugal falou ainda da situação vivida no balneário e do apoio dado pelo presidente, Filipe Soares Franco: "No balneário todos falam, independentemente de ser ou não o capitão. A reacção tem de partir de todos. Todos falam, todos comunicam. O presidente disse-nos aquilo que nos tem dito sempre, ou seja, que nos sintamos à vontade e que cada um faça o seu melhor. O clube precisa de resultados e, neste momento, uma cobrança é sempre bem vinda".


Now can we talk about how much Benfica sucks?

Benfica only started the league badly but since the guimaraes game we have been very consistant in the league and have won almost all of our games. Only porto have beaten benfica and we drew 2 more and all the rest are wins. How is that a bad season. You havent won in a month so your doing far worst then benfica. And if we had gotten camacho in pre season instead of when the league was under way i believe we wouldnt of dropped points to leixoes and guimaraes in the 1st 2 games of the season.
SCP Guy
Porto beat you guys but needed a crap (goal or poor call) to beat us.....If you would have had Camacho then all would be good....if we would have not had Patricio in net the last two games we would be 1 point behind the mighty benfica sofunny.gif

You can spin things anyway you like as can I shrug03.gif

Im not saying all is right with Sporting (I think we have been very poor this year) but if you think benfica has the team right now to threaten porto and you can just sit back and watch the results roll in you are crazy

benfica is not much better then Sporting and both are miles from porto's form at the moment....

Who is saying that? so in your case you should never blame the defence because thats pretty much what your saying.

Ronny sucks ass. Your defenders can't do jack shit in defending set pieces. Their marking are in a average level etc. Is that enough reasons?

This is the same defense (minus Caneira who everyone here says sucks and Tello who was a two way player more then a defensive star) that allowed the fewest goals in Portugal last year.... Tonel and Polga are solid in the middle...Veloso does a nice job up front... I dont see them giving up a bunch of scoring chances every game so how can they be bad?

We are giving up less then a goal a game and take away a few comical attepts at being a goalie and we would only be behind porto in goals against...... If you want to blame the goalie then fine but the defense has been decent IMO

And you wanna know why? Ricardo was there. People criticize him, but now that he's gone you can easily see the effect he made.

Thats my opinion though.

But Sporting still needs to work on other things, like that game against Roma, they beat the defender with ease on every setpeice.

I still think he is a dodgy keeper. He's a good shot stopper but i always shit my pants wen a cros flys in when he plays for portugal. lol. I almost had a heart attack in our last game against finland when all them long balls were coming in near the end.

I never have and never will say Ricardo is a world class keeper.... He is the best Portugues keeper IMO but very far from world class.

I really wish we had resigned Ricardo. Our main issue is goalkeeping.

Whos these guys? I speak for myself. I always thought he was good. His first and a half season with you were poor but after that he was consistent imo. And thought it was a really dumb move when Sporting got rid of him for so little and the replacement they got was even a bigger joke.

Not taking a shot at your club, its what I really think. Ricardo saved that poor defence a lot imo.

well first of all for everyone that is critiquing paulo bento-- sorry for the poor spelling but why? he has no players...whens sproting is tied in the 70th minute he has no oen to put it! we need to score he looks at the ebnch and who deos he see? Pereirinha, paredes, farneud adrien silva-- alld efensive guys,,, how are you going to score when you have no playmakers on the bench?? sportings midfield is out of place! we have about 3 #10 spots or attackign midfileders- romagnoli, moutinho and izmailov but due to the lack of wingers romagnoli occasionly plays right with izmailov on the left moutinho ebhind and simon ahead or they switch the line up btu regardless we have 3-even 4 ATM playing the lines and what not and btw PUROVIC is garbage WHYY Did derlei get hurt??? purovic only scores against little teams that stay int heir area and on top onyl headers! sporting needs some great winter signign this year! we need to get a winger or 2 to attack and push up the ball...

any opinions?
Portista
but some of that could be his fault, he is making inconsistent buys. He doesn't get the players he really needs.

Though, I still don't think Bento is the problem....
timatokas
IMO there really isnt any huge problems other than the lack of players we have and minor probelms
1. luck is deff not on our side
2.injuries--god forbid liedson gets hurt
3.paulo bento - is a do or die coach but i like that he takes otu dfenders for attackign players the only porblem is we dotn have attackign players
simon vukcevic
coach, president, some players and Moutinho for being captain. Liedson or Polga should be captain.
