Concerns are building among Portugal supporters over Roberto Martinez 's approach as his side take on Slovenia in the Euro 2024 last 16 on Monday.
Portugal arrived in Germany among the contenders to win the tournament for a second time, but despite topping Group F, their performances lowered expectations over how far the Selecao can go.
They scraped a last-gasp 2-1 win over the Czech Republic, impressed in a 3-0 victory against Turkey and then fell to a shock 2-0 defeat by debutants Georgia.
Martinez deployed a 3-5-2 formation against the Czechs and Georgia which his players struggled to get to grasps with, while their more familiar 4-3-3 worked well against Turkey.
Dip in formAfter qualifying for the Euros with a 100 percent record, Portugal's form since has been far patchier, with Georgia inflicting the first competitive defeat in Martinez's reign.
