Tomás da Cunha says two Sporting midfielders are far too inconsistent | OneFootball

Tomás da Cunha took to social media to analyze the Sporting performance against Famalicão (1-0), making remarks about the performance of some of the main figures of the Lions’ squad, namely Morten Hjulmand and Hidemasa Morita.

“Hjulmand and Morita, once references of stability at Sporting, are now too inconsistent. This not only makes it harder to connect in the inner game (little from Pote, Trincão only when he joined Luís Guilherme) but also allows Famalicão to break out. Elisor is an excellent forward in open play,” he wrote on the social network ‘X’.

Regarding the attacking sector, he highlighted the importance of Luís Guilherme in his natural position: “In Sporting’s attack, which sometimes harms one player, sometimes another, the best news is Luís Guilherme’s presence in his natural position. By far, he is the team’s reference in creating imbalances, not only in 1v1 situations but also in terms of passing. He combines the strengths of the other wingers.”

The analyst also criticized Rui Borges’ choices: “As at Dragão, there are doubts about whether Rui Borges chose what was best for the team or what was best for the hierarchy. Sporting is trying to achieve the feat of fighting for the title with its key players in dramatic form. He even took the spotlight away from Luís Guilherme. Bragança in an unlikely role.”

As for the match, Sporting ended up winning 1-0, in a game decided in the final stretch. After a goal was disallowed for Famalicão in the first half, the Lions took greater control in the second half and secured the victory with a header from Daniel Bragança, earning three important points.
