If we classify big games on importance, we should have lost by 4+ in the Mestalla. I completely agree with the latter; there is enough in this team to progress despite the odds being against us.

Nothing to do with that. If you read my post above, I believe we actually have a good chance if we take our chances. Atalanta would have personally been trickier opponents despite the consensus around here. The fact you believe we've been the better team in ALL of our big games (aside from those you mentioned) is what gets me. I really do love your enthusiasm for the team/club, but you need to be honest with yourself every so often.

It's been a running theme. We have to remember, we beat a powerhouse in Ajax. [emoji57]

Foster just gifting Utd the win. To think about how he played against us too.

I still believe his injury worked in our favour. If he was fit, Bayern would have gone all in after Sane got sidelined. Don't believe it was that cut & dry.

It's rather straight forward when only two players are vying for one position and one of those players is almost 40. Club & manager wanted CHO to stay. I doubt either are fussed about Kepa right now.

Hard to see a way back now. If Willy starts on Tuesday, Kepa is gone in the summer.

I'd go with a similar line up to today and try to attack them. If we are to have the slightest hope in progressing, we need a positive result at home. They will give us chances (hopefully Neuer goes on walkies again).

We're fourth. There isn't a bigger shock around tbh. [emoji1]

City winning is probably the ideal result with recent developments. Bring Leicester closer to the chasing back and open up the race for three places rather than two.

I think we've all known about the abysmal standard of officiating for some time. The fact 0 English refs were in Russia spoke volumes.

Huge win! Should have won by a more comfortable scoreline.

Have to make things interesting ofc. Great!

VAR are now saying they made a mistake. This fuckery!

Easy VAR decision not going for us for the second game running. I'm speechless! The most obvious red card you'll see and VAR let it go. System is a joke in England

That has to be red!

Perfect timing! Alonso is a great asset when we have 3 at the back.

How are his contract demands changing by the month? After a THREE YEAR extension. Where's the door?

I'm taking this as a hint for tomorrow

Giroud starting and RLC back amongst the 18. Good news so far.

Look who scores a second for Getafe against the almighty Ajax [emoji1]

And it's a London Derby

Roll on Saturday then [emoji1]

I was just about to echo the last part. Shame more than half of his season has gone to waste, but Leipzig have a massive run at the title ahead and potentially more CL ties. Hope he just had some cramp at the end.

Atalanta would have been a given. Will people ever learn [emoji1]
