Wish the club would tell us what’s wrong with Benson. Since he’s with the group/training by the looks of things, I’m starting to get worried he’s not being risked in games because he’s attracting bids!

They never give out any information on any injuries. They only did with Obafemi because he’d put it out on social media himself.

Looks a super stadium in a beautiful setting. The view from the TV stand is brilliant.

Which is why we released it today I guess

Pitch with a running track around it and dug outs halfway back across the track. Crowd a long way back. Hasn’t shown any Clarets yet although it is Portugese coverage.

What a cracking view, one of the most picturesque stadiums we've ever played at surely

Training kit is better than the away kit.

That’s a good one thanks. New away strip I see

Bosscat · Post by **Bosscat** » Tue Jul 25, 2023 8:32 pm

The new away shirt looks quite good actually (suppose that won't go down well on here

)

Does anyone know how strong the Benfica team is / how far along in pre-season they are?

Spiral · Post by **Spiral** » Tue Jul 25, 2023 8:32 pm

Kit when worn looks more like a Watford kit than some Watford kits. It's the black shorts. Just an awful job.

Pickles · Post by **Pickles** » Tue Jul 25, 2023 8:32 pm

Big fan of the coverage including everyone's first name on the line up graphic except for Townsend so it makes him look like some mysterious silky Brazilian.

wilks_bfc · Post by **wilks_bfc** » Tue Jul 25, 2023 8:33 pm

Sport TV1 have the Trailist down as Townsend

Spiral · Post by **Spiral** » Tue Jul 25, 2023 8:33 pm

Old school, no names on the shirt, just numbers.

Usually the case in friendlies.

Camera will cut to the crowd/sea view whenever Townsend gets on the ball. Can't be revealing him, you see.

Tricky Trevor · Post by **Tricky Trevor** » Tue Jul 25, 2023 8:34 pm

There line up has Di Maria up against Dodgson. Welcome to big boys footie.

Roadkill shirt, looks like a single tyre track.

No. Was benfica tv just to show lineups

Lots of talks about kits recently... That Benfica one... That's how you do a shirt.

simonclaret · Post by **simonclaret** » Tue Jul 25, 2023 8:35 pm

The captions at kick off seemed to suggest VAR is in use...

RVclaret · Post by **RVclaret** » Tue Jul 25, 2023 8:35 pm

Looks like Al-Dakhil at right back after all..

jedi_master · Post by **jedi_master** » Tue Jul 25, 2023 8:36 pm

Al-Dakhil RB / O’Shea CB I’d say

Portuguese is basically a Spaniard doing an impression of a Russian.

We always do this in pre season although we wear the squad numbers

Can anyone hear what the reception is for Wout?

4:20 · Post by **4:20** » Tue Jul 25, 2023 8:41 pm

Muric, so calm on the ball, such a talented distributer. I've missed watching him work his magic.

jedi_master · Post by **jedi_master** » Tue Jul 25, 2023 8:41 pm

Who was the last trialist that we signed?

Edit - Aaron Lennon! As I typed this I remembered. Who before him I wonder?

wilks_bfc · Post by **wilks_bfc** » Tue Jul 25, 2023 8:42 pm

It’s weird hearing all that Portuguese interspersed with “Jack Cork” & “Dara O’Shea”

CoolClaret · Post by **CoolClaret** » Tue Jul 25, 2023 8:42 pm

I watch Muric play with such calmness and precision and I can’t help but think

‘Why have we spunked 14 million on a 19 year old keeper’

Forgotten the stress he puts on me when I see him 40 yards out

I’m not a fan but it’s far better than on the shitty picture from yesterday.

Actually I don't know now seeing it fully in game.
The picture in the 1st post didn't show the full right side.

I thought it would have been all claret with claret sleeve opposite to the otherside. Didnt realise it's just a tyre line, only goes down the front too.
