Just saying Derby have more players in their squad today that wont see any minutes this season than Benfica do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leicester Ram Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 The only thing I'm taking from this game is that our kit isn't that nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaintRam Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 So there it is. Benfica 4-0 Derby. Benfica a joy to watch, unsurprising attribute of a Champions League team. Derby lacking cohesion and sharpness, unsurprising attribute of a different team each half mixed with first teamers, youths and players who just shouldn't be with us (if we're frank). Only Pearson will know how useful that was to him, but I'm inclined to agree with others in this thread who've suggested this is what Pearson wanted from this game. In the first half I think Elsnik (ELSNIK HYPE), Blackman and Carson impressed (as much as any Derby player could) while Buxton and Bent disappointed (the former more so, and as @McLovin points out he would have been sent off in a competitive game). In the second half all the plaudits have to go to Benfica although a special mention does have to be made for Chris Martin who managed to have the entire Benfica support booing him after 30 minutes of playing in a friendly.

Would add Rawson to the impressive list. Hughes is too good for that list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gritstone Ram Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 Bloody ell what's going on? First time out against Benfica sack them now before it's too late. How are we losing to teams like that? What was our possession like? We need some new blood!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CastletonRam Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 Not good enough. Regardless of the competition. Things we did wrong tonight are exactly the things we get pulled up for in Champ games. Lethargic, no drive, not moving the ball quick enough, terrible corners, idiotic man marking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
