After the humiliating loss at the hands of Porto, Benfica is clearly out of the running for the Portuguese Championship.
Yes, I am aware of the fact that there is still the entire second half of the season to be played, but let me remind you that Porto is now 10 points ahead of Benfica.
The "system" in Portugal will not allow Porto to lose that many points in the rest of the season.
There is one thing that must be made clear however, the fact is that in the two times that Porto and Benfica have faced each other, Porto has outscored Benfica 8-0. That certainly means something, does it?
Something else that I find interesting, Jorge Jesus has lost his charm around the Estadio da Luz. Benfica supporters and the Portuguese media can be brutal, especially when Benfica is not playing well, imagine how they can be after such a bad loss, and after a disastrous start to the season.
I do not believe that Jorge Jesus will be fired, at least not during the season.
Can he still save his job? I believe so, but much improvement will be needed.
Perhaps a "cleaning" of the locker room would do some good as well.
As I had told some people earlier, there are some Benfica players that clearly should have left in the off season. This means you, Cardozo.............
