I posted a same post....
I think it's an ok draw like you said.

 

fav to go trough with the second leg at home.

Benfica is deadly at home.

 

Galatasaray didn't have much problems winning vs them 4 seasons ago. However Aykut must get his shit straight.

@tribundergi: Abdullah Kiğılı: Türkiye ve Fenerbahçe için tarihi bir başarı yakaladık. Çünkü şimdiye kadar son 4'e kalan başka bir takım yok.

:howler: we have guys like this moron in Türkiye :shakepalm:

 

This is a new competition remember, not the old UEFA Cup :m

 

lol same shit different name. This will be an interesting match up but this is where Aykut's luck runs out. I think Benfica will win both games.

 

agreed

 

Benfica is favorite, good players, good form, DEEP bench. Is your home atmosphere like Gala?
This will be a very interesting draw for sure, your fans and our fans

 

Is your home atmosphere like Gala?

When did you see our fans/atmosphere? (Which game)

 

Yes, both of these fans have an obsession with making masks and looking like idiots.

 

We can do it.

 

Turkish teams do quite well against Portuguese teams. The reasons are pretty simple, like Turkish sides Portuguese tend to not be so good at corners, crosses, set-pieces.

They are not so tall or prolific in the air which is where Turkish sides are weakest.

And we know how to deal with skilful midfielders and wingers, we have mastered the art of chopping down midfielders and turning the midfield into a scrap.

Benfica should be most wary of Fenerbahce away.

Benfica are about to get Kocaman'd :excited:

 

Benfica are very difficult and easily the favorite here. But the same could be said if we drew anybody else at this point in the tournament. iKoot's run of luck is probably closing to its end.

Happy the matchday thread is open two and a half weeks in advance :howler:

 

Hi guys,

Great match incoming! In my opinion, Benfica is the strongest side and the favourite for this match, but of course, as someone said, Portugueses teams seems to have some difficults playing agaisnt turkish sides, and past matches history tells that. Benfica is doing extremely well this season, and we still don't know the taste of defeat on our domestic league and europe league (only agaisnt Spartak Moskva and Barcelona during champions league groups stage). We always scored on away matches, so expect a very powerful Benfica.

But again, turkish sides gameplay will be a problem, especially at your stadium with all that crowd, but the second game at our stadium will be extremely important, and things are also not easy at the Stadium of Light.

That said, I really hope for 2 good matches, and I think Benfica will get to the Final.

 

Why everything in Capital letters but when it comes to "Turkish" lower case? :frustrat: show some respect amk sikerim benfica menfica'ni

 

Deal :thmbup: but as a guest you needed to show respect first, now kiss my pinky ring I'm joking i'm joking welcome to the forums man :tip: Actually in all honesty, I thought you'd never post here again so I added the Turkish part at the end

 

Worst possible draw in my opinion considering the form they are in. Don't rate our chances at all. Should be great games though.

 

I think we are done, Benfica's offense is too strong for us. I'm hoping we can spring a surprise in the first leg, if we don't give up an away goal we have a shot. They haven't lost since like October? :eekani:

 

wow, at last a benfica vs fener round

i dont think there are favourites here...we have been having a good season, both in the domestic league and in europe, but we lack a truely creative midfielder, a n10 so to speak

we rely on a strong backline (except for our left side ), a very solid DM and quality wingers, and if we manage to put some speed into the game we can be very dangerous, but i'm affraid we are getting a bit tired towards the end of the season, and will take a lot of determination to pull this through

i'm expecting a very balanced round, and of coz, hopefully benfica will win it

 

Let's for some of this.

Such a ballsy shot to take 1-1, 90th minute on a 3 on two with two nearly wide open players They would have lost it if he missed

 

damn, i cant stand meireles

 

:howler:

 

He looked so fresh during his tenure at Chelsea, he really was their midfield dynamo, here at Fener he looks a bit too squeezed. He doesn't reign in the midfield but also maybe coz all Anadolu teams employ pussy-like parking the bus and aggressive marking / pressing etc.

 

Reign the midfield? really?

 

If he was so good at Chelsea why did they sell him aq

 

Why did they sell Sturridge, aq?

Cause he didn't perform good enough?

 

He certainly plays his role well, but to say the guy reigns the midfield is a bit over the top.

 

I didn't, not for Fener anyway.

Well to say he did that at Chelsea is also over the top as well.
