Tomorrow Benfica plays Lille away, at The Stade de France, at 8:45pm (Portuguese Time) for their second leg match of Group D. This is going to be a tough game but I think Benfica can come out on top as long as they play as a team and don't underestimate Lille.

Forca Benfica!!

A must win. There should be a good number of Benfica fans since the game is in Paris.

Now im not to sure but i heard that Simao may not be able to play, if so then this is a big blow for us/

My lineup

--------------------------Quim (Willing to take the risk)-------
Nelson--------Luisao-----------Anderson-------Leo
------------------Fernandes---------Petit----------
Pereira------------------Miccoli/Karyaka----------Simao/Karyaka
-------------------------Nuno Gomes---------------------

Now i mainly prefer Rocha over Anderson, but Lille has a good defence and we need tall players for set pieces and try to make use of it.

I have Pereira but i doubt he'll play. Its most likely Geovanni. Just pray that Beto doesnt play. Please. Benfica has yet to win a game with Beto in the starting 11, wtf is Koeman smoking? Doesnt he see that Beto is shit and shouldnt even be on the B team?

Now if Simao is able to play then i would have Karyaka in the middle. If Simao isn't fit, then play Karyaka on the left and Miccoli with Nuno Gomes.

btw if Benfica and Manchester win their matches then Both clubs guarantee at least a third place finish.

here is a match preview of the this game

I don't see Benfica winning if Beto starts his awful Karyaka deserves to start but with Koeman in charge i don't see that happening i hope Benfica can get the result they need

Dammit it seems that Simao will not play.

Just pray that Beto stays in the bench. Please Koeman if you want to win do not start Beto!!!

OMG!!!!! Apparantly this is the lineup tomorrow

GK- Undecided, Quim is still a doubt
Defence- Nelson, Anderson, Luisao, Ricardo Rocha
Midfield-Geovani, Petit, BETO, Karyaka
Foward-Miccoli, Nuno Gomes


Get rid of him NOW!!!!! Even if we do win this match get rid of him. How can he start Beto over Fernandes? I am so fucking angry right now. The only person that can't see that Beto is the worst player on the team happens to be our manager.

Cmon Lille!

I want them to win so Utd don't even qualify .

I'm going for Benfica. Should be a good game!

haha thay are gonna be without 2 important mids tomorow, Lille

WTF Koeman, Beto, im hoping Benfica can come out with a win!
I say 2-1 golos from Petit e Nuno Gomes

holy shit, alright time for koemon to send in his ressegnation or get fired because he is the biggest fucking idiot every ... how can every person on this planet know that Beto sucks except for the coach? HOW CAN YOU NOT START FERNANDES WTF IS UP WITH THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (@^&%(Q@#*^%#(Q (#^%(Q@*^%(@^% (*&#^%(&Q@#^%(#&^ I am sooooooooooo angry right now and I am happy that Miccoli is back we need him soooo bad I really wish we had Simao and this really blows we dont have him ... BETO LEAVE BENFICA NOW YOU SUCK!

Looks like Simao is not playing but we have a strong side without him too and we can win this game all we need to do is play strong and not underestimate Lille. Miccoli is back and Quim I think is also ready now.

About the Lineup you will find out about it before the game so don't get angry about it now Benfiquistas, Manuel Fernandes could still play.

Peace

Forca Benfica!!

OMG!!!!! IT HAS GOTTEN WORST

JUST WHEN I THOUGH KOEMAN COULDN'T BE DUMBER HE DECIDES TO START ALCIDES!!!! WTF HE DOESNT EVEN PLAY IN THE LEAGUE BUT HE'S STARTING IN THE CL? WE 6 DEFENDERS ON. ANDERSON, LUISAO, NELSON, ROCHA AND LEO AND ALCIDES WTF IS HE DOING. HOW CAN YOU EXPECT TO WIN WITH 6 DEFENDERS ON THEN A SHIT DEFENSIVE MIDFIELDER BETO? THIS IS PATHETIC!!!

6 DEFENDERS AND 2 DEFENSIVE MIDFIELDERS!!!! HOW THE FUCK ARE WE GONNA SCORE!!!!!!

I'LL BE SHOCKED IF WE WIN OR EVEN GET A POINT OUT OF THIS GAME NOW. KOEMAN IS THE WORST COACH WE HAD IN YEARS.

GET THE FUCK OUT OF BENFICA. THIS IS THE WORST LINEUP I HAVE SEEN IN YEARS

LOOK AT THE BENCH FOR BENFICA

Mantorras, Geovanni, Manuel Fernandes, Karayaka, Joao Pereira, Rui Neuru, Dos Santos

PRETTY MUCH ALL OF THOSE PLAYERS SHOULD BE STARTING!!! WHY ARE THEY IN THE BENCH!!!!

Apparantly there is more Benfica fans and this is taken place in Paris.

You can listen to this match in english by going to uefa.com

3 offsides already called on Benfica. We got the only shot so far by Nelson

Oh crap more problems. Miccoli has got injured again. Mantorras is getting ready to come on

Half time. 0-0

We need to control the midfield. Hopefully Mantorras will be like last season and score important goals.

benfica mays say goodbye to the champions leagues coz they aint goin through to the next round and looking at the things are going at the moment in the superliga we wont b seein benfica in champ league next season either!!

Omg i cant believe it. We came so close to scoring at the end again. That would have been amazing but it just went over the crossbar.

We now have to beat Manchester. No draws or a loss we have to win to go through.

You'll only need to win Man Utd at home to go through... I would definitely not say goodbye.

Definitely agree. I believe we can do it. You gotta have faith in your team.

This group is so frickin' awesome! They should always be like this

I think Benfica will have to win the game to get through. Man Utd draw or Win. Thank you, for not letting Lille score

wow we tied .... im surprised by that, I think we should higher someone to make Koemon accidently dissapear hmmmmm yes ... lol anyway yes i hate that guy making dumb moves why would you START a player that has NEVER even played in the SUPERLIGA let alone the CHAMPIONS LEAGUE!!!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I dont understand .... what goes through your mind like do u think "hmmm CL match im gonnna start a guy that plays on the B team then play defence futebol even though we are an attacking team and hope to tie maybe lose this game and then challenge Man U at home?" SOUDNS FUCKING BRILLIANT TO ME :|

i cant believe Benfica still control there destiny after the real crap performance they just pulled.

Koeman, yet again, shows why he a dumb ass.

Miccoli should NOT be even playing if hes wearing bandaids!

Benfica and Lille missed a golden oppurtunity to ensure qualification.
Cause Man United And Villareal had a draw. In my opinion Villareal should qualify. But i would not like to see benfica inthe knock out stage so that simoa can join liverpool in Jan

Benfica away would be a tough game,but with both teams needing to win the game,so it will be a attacking game,unless benfica doesnt want to qualify and sit back and defend for the whole game,the more attacking game it gets the more it will suit united,so i am hoping utd beat benfica and qualify

Thankkfully the match is 2 weeks away. cause Benfica needs to rest there good players on time
