Paulo Jorge to miss Celtic match

goldenHuddlestone · 10-16-2006, 04:47 PM

Winger Paulo Jorge has joined Benficas injury list for the Champions League Group F match at Celtic on Tuesday, club officials said on Sunday.

Benficas new signing, who will be out for up to two weeks with a right knee problem, joins injured Greek midfielder Giorgios Karagounis (calf) and playmaker Rui Costa (thigh).

Benfica crushed Uniao Leiria 4-0 away in the Portuguese Premier League on Saturday and now have 10 points, five behind leaders Porto but with a game in hand.

Celtic warmed up for the match with a 4-1 win at Dundee United in the Scottish Premier League on Saturday that leaves them top by five points over Hearts.

Gee...I wonder who will win given that...

Joe · 10-17-2006, 10:34 AM

Benfica still have plenty of quality up front - Simao and others. Celtic have Graveson out, Hessilink, McGeady and Zurawski all doubtful.

It will be a tight game but ifd we win, we put ourselves in a great position to progress.

i wish the 'Tic all the best, as they are representing Scotland in Europe. i even wish the Huns success... although we all know they're gonny get gubbed anyway.

I think the biggest loss for Benfica is Rui Costa , my personal all time favorite player he may be past his best but he is still the best player they have got.

theo kawala · 10-17-2006, 03:21 PM

plus karagounis is a good player he will also be missed yes i watched rui costa when he was at milan and he was very good at the age of 25-30 but now way pass his best and having fun playing with his old club but these injury problems with both sides will be a tight game with celtic without that new striker i dont know how to spell his name graversen Mcgeady out and with benfica out with all those stars it will a very close match but im going to say 1-0 celtic with a late goal by miller

I remember Rui Costa playing for Fiorentina alongside Gabriel Batistuta that was a fantastic team.

Jedi Knight · 10-17-2006, 04:28 PM

I'll take that. We have to really go for them coz if we try to play Benfica at their own game they will murder us. We have to get in and about them, press the ball and hope to pressure them into mistakes

is Baptistuta still playing i still remember him very very good player i really liked him

this should be a good game as long as the crocks don't play. could be funny watching dudes run around the pitch with their crutches.

P.s Batistuta was one the greates strikers ever. Phenominal and loyal. Get a hold of some footage of 'Batigol'. superb

How have Benfica been playing in the league? Do their fans/media in Portugal expect a win for Benfica tonight?

Benfica gave easily their best performance of the season so far on saturday ,everyone here is expecting a close game that could go either way Benfica say they are going out to try and win the game.
The Portuguese media is making a great deal of the intimidating atmosphere at Celtic Park.

theo kawala · 10-17-2006, 07:23 PM

are there team fired up?

goldenHuddlestone · 10-17-2006, 07:37 PM

I'll be keepimg a third of an eye on this game

theo kawala · 10-17-2006, 07:45 PM

i hope its like the arsenal game that we just had should of been 1-1 that was a goal by Henry werent it who watched it!?

goldenHuddlestone · 10-17-2006, 09:23 PM

I didnt realised it started early

sdrawrof · 10-17-2006, 09:39 PM

good win Celtic. Im resigned.

theo kawala · 10-18-2006, 07:14 AM

well done celtic i loved the win even though i didnt watch it (watched da highlights on itv) good goals by miller thoroughly deserved win but henry was fuming at the ref after the goal was dissalowed he was also yellow carded for a 'handball'

Joe · 10-18-2006, 10:40 AM

I may have mentioned in another thread that Miller may not have been a long term solution but last night he proved me wrong. In fact the whole team was fantastic last night and the second goal by Miller could have been the goal of the night.

Benfica played well for the last 15 minutes of the first half, apart from that they didn't do very much, a testament to the Celtic players and Strachan's tactics which did not allow them much.

theo kawala · 10-18-2006, 10:44 AM

Celtic are playing fantastic now and beat a very good team

Matt the Thrasher · 10-18-2006, 03:03 PM

Celtic played very well the second goal in particular was excellent a great through ball from Maloney and a good finish from Miller although Fernando Santos was extremely dischuffed that Benfica conceded a goal from their own corner kick.

theo kawala · 10-18-2006, 03:26 PM

they did everything right strachan must feel like hes in heaven when he watches his team do so well

sdrawrof · 10-19-2006, 04:38 AM

Celtic did everything right, Benfica did everything wrong.

theo kawala · 10-19-2006, 07:18 AM

Benfica played well in the last 15 minutes
