This GK hasn't played all season. Test him at least

Typical

3 shots on target, 2 goals. Sometimes you make your own luck.

Giroud and Pedro make a return. I hope it pays off

Qualification is all that matters at this point. We were the better side for 30 minutes, first side to have more possession against Pep's City and gifted City both their goals. If we were actually clinical in these games, we'd have won.

Awful week? Just lost to City & we still have our CL fate in our own hands.

At least Gera restored some pride

I bet Emery would still be there had Tottenham not set a marker.

He saved us on a couple occasions when he moved to CB. Just doesn't have the pace to go forward and defend anymore.

They were awake and still lost 2-1. [emoji1]

Kiraly is a recent name that springs to mind. Just look up Roberto's time at Olympiakos & you'll see a very good shot stopper.

Hyperbole [emoji849]

True. I was just emphasising the point that Ajax aren't some side that ought to be viewed any different than seasons prior to last. Ajax reach another CL semi, I'll rethink.

That's subjective. We should have gotten 6 points against them, so I'd say that strengthens the opinion of others (mine included) on the matter. Things aligned for Ajax last season and that's it.

For one season?

Mr "Big game" would [emoji6]

Suarez was 23-24. Do I really need to give you a list of players that couldn't make the step up? Ziyech didn't just join Ajax season btw.

Big fish, small pond. 27 to come Eredivise to a big league could be risky.

That's where we differ. I don't see him necessarily at fault for the first despite it possibly being able to do a bit better. We might as well not had anyone down our left all night, as Valencia had free rein from KO.

Still doesn't make the situation any better. Had it not been for the PK save, I'd be signing a different tune about his performance.

Needless corner or coming away with qualification? Better to be safe than sorry

He pulled his hands down. Seemed like a similar situation to the Ajax FK he conceded.

He's been dreadful in our last two games which is beyond frustrating. Having said that, too many seem to be unaware of what a poacher is. Anyone expecting Michy to be Drogba need to seriously rethink.

Still hope Lille go out with some pride. Make the other game even more interesting on match day 6.
