Well it's going to be interesting to see what our new Nigerian lads can do next season, Kelechi Iheanacho and Chidiebere Nwakali both look promising players
About as close to a nobody as anyone can be tbh. I think that's only the second game he's played for Benfica at just about any level, as far as I'm aware he's their 3rd choice 19 year old goalkeeper. Sounds like he had an absolute stormer thoughBlue Smarties said:So then, this keeper of there's, is he any good or was it a one off?
city twitter over exagerated when they kept saying brilliant save, he made a class one first half but second half he was making the most of some fairly comfortable saves. Cant remember seeing him actually catch the ball either.BigOscar said:About as close to a nobody as anyone can be tbh.

They've not really had to play anyone of any particular note so far, so being unbeaten is probably more an anomaly than a testament to how good they are. PSG were the second seeded team in their group and their youth teams aren't remotely comparable to the first team, then they drew Austria Vienna in the next round, who aren't exactly world beaters.Nelly's Left Foot said:Didn't think much of Benfica at all so I am amazed they are unbeaten so far.Easy to say we should have won easily but that's the case tonight.They really created nothing all night and we let them score 2 goals.One from a distance when we didn't try to close the player down and the keeper seemed stunned that he shot and almost didn't move till the ball was at him.
The 2nd was a weak cross that somebody ,Denayer I think, just let it through.Just so so soft. We then woke up and could have scored 4 or 5 times but a bit of bad luck and some special, at times lucky,keeping kept us out.
But if Benfica are a good side then so are we as we were much the better side tonight.
