I won't mind at 5-0 [emoji6]

No Lewy at 2-0 and we'd have a chance. 3-0 is probably just a step too far.

City deservedly lead

This is his first season in the top flight, so I'd cut him some slack about it taking it's toil three quarters into the season. Mention a player in these teams that were making their league debuts?

We can hope. I actually had the most faith in him becoming the heir to Lampard (to a lesser extent ofc). It wouldn't be surprising. Seems like any sort of press is constantly lead by him for starters, which is having an adverse effect.

I just don't know where his end product has gone. There actually seemed to be something about him at Vitesse, but he can't even seem to shoot anymore.

Alonso's CL career with us is over. Just keep it at 3 at this point.

Abraham sleeping. ALWAYS?!

Probably will be. Converted wide player that certainly wasn't lacking ability going forward. Body check him instead of diving in like a complete idiot helps.

Davis destroying this abysmal defence. Tie over

Azpi off. Shocker!

Or thanks to the board for appointing them?

Kante isn't needed.... He's needed even with a broken leg

Conte got something against Barcelona. What good was that at the Nou Camp? This backwards thinking is something else

Azpi too keen ahead of both goals and that could be tie over. Lampard needs to change shit ASAP

Awful few minutes

I know but shouldn't be given the chance to just brush Mount aside.

Davis just has too much strength for Mount. Been caught sleeping on several occasions now

So lucky not to concede

Willy saving us. Been really poor on the ball so far We lack any sort of cutting pace

We weren't going to win it in 2012 either. Stop the pessimism on tonight of all nights. [emoji849]

Pleased with the XI. Guess Kepa's days are numbered

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]
