II agree as well, we need some Pauleta action. He’s so good he deserves it!

He didn’t have any service. Most of the players were content taking long distance shots, rather then trying to feed it to through to Pauleta.

He is by far the best striker on the team, and I hope he starts against France.

you’re right,portugal needs pauleta back in shape as soon as possible because he is very important not only for scoring.Still i think that the key player of your team in this semifinal will be ronaldo(not just because he is my favourite player) due to his speed and quick dribble against some old french guys…experienced but old nonetheless

pauleta should start but i feel nuno gomes should play at least 20 mins of da game..for revenge i suppose..he was banned for 7 months after da france game in euro 2000..i feel he is determine to prove himself against the french

How is Pauletta supposed to score when he is offside 95% of the match. We are better off playing with no attackers and just playing for penalties like last game. Its our only chance.

Pauletta seems to be losing his skills. Maybe it si better to sit him down. I think Ernest is right in the fact that it almost seems like we have been playing without forwards with the lack of attacking we have been doing,. WE will lose if we dont play alot better next game.

I had a dream

And in that dream I saw Simão on the left, Figo on the Right, Deco as playmaker and Ronaldo up front

But I do hope Pauleta scores an Hat-trick. He´ll be hearing all those french voices in the penalty box and feel right at home

Go Pauleta

Sounds more like a nightmare.

Webster:

It probably was

Anyway – I wouldn´t want any major team restructuration this far along… I´d start with the “normal” 11. Inject Simão and Goal-hungry Gomes into the match if it´s going south…

Pauletta is overated. ALthough he is not a big diver and that is rare on our team. ALthough he is teh offside king.

I am hoping to see Pauleta shine during the next match. I know he has it…he just needs to bring it out…

Another thing, the match should be quite even. Pauleta i think is the offside prince…now Henry… he is the offside king.

FORCA PORTUGAL!
all the way!

Pauleta isn’t that great. He is good and all but he is no Christiano Ronaldo or Luis Figo. Sooner or later he will take the spotlight.
