It isn't like he him missing was nailed on. Just seems odd especially considering he was Leipzig's main taker, IIRC.

I'm pleased we're through, but I can't get over the fact Werner didn't take a PK. Is his confidence that shot?

We tore them apart in the second half. The scoreline flattered them.

Kante's introduction changed the game.

Not sure how Alonso didn't double our lead

Silva! Great way to start the second half. Two upfront isn't something we're likely to see in a bigger game.

Feels like Tuchel is trying to shoehorn him in too often. I'd prefer Werner instead of him.

This is a game where Pulisic is missed. We lack pace & any directness going forward.

Noble might be the first choice PK taker, but does Moyes have such little faith in the rest of the squad? Stupid decision that cost them a point.

Spurs have been woeful going forward in most of their games, so I hope we take the game to them & they aren't given the chance to expose him.

I hope Kepa doesn't get the headlines for the wrong reasons.

It seems like a given we'll re-sign should he stay injury-free & want to return. I do wonder what would happen if someone else wanted him. I presume they would probably have to pay double, but it would ultimately be up to him.

It's a trend with English footballers, unfortunately. Some bounce back whilst others throw away their careers.

Cameroon's coach tried to recall him, so I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't accept the change for AFCON. Also, their CB situation could be very different in 3 months.

His preseason form & Super Cup outing gave some of us hope that that was a sign of things to come. So far, it hasn't been.

I stated "another" for a reason. I understand it's hard facing a team that is set on defending, but that wasn't the case on Saturday (putting the score aside). Tottenham, City & Juve to come, so we'll see how things are looking.

Another less than inspiring performance, but we got over the line. It's a joy having a CF that takes his chance/s.

I understand Tuchel wants the best possible result to begin our defence, but the lack of changes is very surprised. Azmoun and Malcom are their best players. We didn't have an easy time against Krasnodar last season, so we should be wary.

And Matip

I think he's improved considerably since his time at Atalanta. We have supposedly made an offer to him along with PSG, so it will be interesting to see if anything comes of it. I don't know where I stand with Bellingham; he's a very good player, especially at his age with years to improve, but I don't see us offering a fee close to Lukaku's, and I think that would be wise.

Anything but a good performance today, but we took our chances and got the three points, which is all that matters. Nice to have a CF bury chances once again; Lukaku's second goal gave me some Drogba-esque vibes.

Pleased we could do what Villa weren't able to and capitalise on a mistake.

Extremely fortunate not to be losing after that half. I was worried about us being lightweight in midfield before KO, and it's proving to be an issue, not to mention Saul's horrific first half.

Liking the line up for the most part but slightly worried about our midfield being lightweight. Alonso captaining the side is a surprising choice.

We need to shift the latter, and I don't see Gallagher getting a chance here. Also, I believe Saul will end up just being cover till next summer.
