I'm looking forward to this game. Wonder what team Sherwood will put out.

Just as interestingly, I wonder what team Benfica will put out. Direct quotes from their manager today that they are prioritising the league. Don't know if that means players will be rested.
I bet it'll be a team that Sherwood thinks will work their socks off, something like. Bear in mind with injuries we are really quite limited too.
Lloris;
Walker, Kaboul, Vertonghen, Rose
Townsend, Sandro, Dembele, Chadli;
Eriksen;
Adebayor:

Mind games, they're 7 points ahead, no games in hand for Porto or Sporting. No need to rest yet.
think you might be far enough back to not have the pole obstruct either goal, will obstruct part of the pitch no doubt though
Big depends, on who's fit (and wants to play)?
……………...Lloris;
Walker, Kaboul, Vertonghen, Rose
Lennon, Sandro, Dembele, Ericson;
………..Adebayor. Soldado
We are on par with these teams, if, we just pull together!

I'd love it if we won by a couple of goals so that the trip to Benfica isn't completely pointless.
Strongest team possible please.

Looking for a spare for tonight if anyone has one going.

I'm all over twitter at the moment, cheers for the heads up.
Might head up there after work if I'm not lucky and see what comes up.
Never done that before though so I dunno what the chances are like
Whaaat? Finns don't use "-sen" in surnames. Norway and Denmark does.
Sweden, Iceland etc. use "-son". Never heard "-sonne". :gylfi:
Looking forward to this game and i'm going down the pub
It's a shame that this match is coming when we're having an implosion as it takes some of the gloss of it.
This is a huge tie historically for us. Benfica are the side who stopped us (by fair means or foul) from winning the European Cup. If they or the ref hadn't been bent then we would have a big shiny pot in the trophy room already as whoever won our semi would have gone on to win.
Anyway, I'm hoping for a win including a couple of offside goals in this tie, just to make the point you know.
