At least you've covered ourselves where most are concerned in recent seasons (Tomori being an exception).

I really hope James isn't playing LWB again. Aside from that, it's arguably our strongest line up.

He scored two PK's & missed the third.

At least we had 10 men on that occasion. Saying that, we could easily be level.

Players celebrating Rudi's goal and this is the outcome 10mins later. Brentford have 1 win (v Norwich) in 11 too.

I have nightmares of the last time he played there. Azpi should be playing there.

Horrid defending

Most vulnerable once you've scored....

Too many passengers on the field. Alonso, RLC & Werner have little of note. It doesn't seem like we have a decent set piece taker.

Lighting strikes twice where Italy are concerned. 31 shots on goals....

That was solely based on names rather any real belief. Also, no one should forget a full strength Madrid side lost at home to the lowest ranked team in the group stages. If we turn up, we should be in a very good position over both legs.

How bad have the rest of the teams in La Liga been this season?

Games aren't won on paper. We might have beaten them twice already this season, but this is probably their biggest game in a while.

He's supposedly "not Chelsea quality". 🙃

International break for two weeks. Spreading minutes across the squad & keeping harmony.

Yarmolenko having some moments of joy this week. The golden side in UEFA Cup/EL are on the verge of going out.

That would do nicely. We do have history with Benfica as well. 😁

2-0 now. Benfica or them in the Quarters would be nice.

Alonso with one positive contribution. That's the tie over.

Arsenal were on a similar run the last time they faced Liverpool in the league & got brushed aside. I think Liverpool will get the job done again, though, not as one-sided as last time.

Slightly surprised Tuchel has gone with such a defensive line up. I'd understand trying to protect a lead away to Bayern, but not away to Lille. I hope we still pose a constant threat despite only starting with two attackers.

Werner did score a goal not to dissimilar against Luton. Lukaku is a whole other story, though.

Leicester still leaking goals from corners. It's beyond a joke at this point.

I didn't say I'd pardon the rest, but who greenlit overpaying for a host of signings or appointing these managers to begin with?

Starting to realise what he has to offer, @Jase ? 😉
