Perfect response after last week's collapse. And a landmark I was starting to doubt would happen under TT. We scored more than 2 in a game and honestly should have been a lot more. Havertz had a very good game but he honestly could of had a hattrick today. But a goal and assist and big strides in improvement. Totally neglected all service to Zaha also for the whole game. They only had 1 attempt all game which was there goal. Was expecting a much tougher game but wow we were brilliant.

Christensen has been brilliant but thanks god TT thought smart and played the more physical defenders to deal with Palace strikers. Zouma has his critics, but he is such a good outlet for set pieces. How many goal has he got this season. Not far off double figures. I admit, was a nervous wreck after Liverpool got that late winner but the boys kept composed and won convincingly.

Christensen got injured, I think. Wasn't in the squad at all.

Zouma has 5 league goals this season, our joint-second top scorer. lol

Same front 3 and Callum at RWB v Porto please TT. 

Nah, we have two goals. No way is he playing CHO at RWB because if Porto get one early the nerves will kick in. James will start 100%. CHO could start against City though depending on how brave TT wants to be.

I would like to think Zouma would have been in the central defender in that back three regardless.

Not sure why Souness keeps saying that Havertz goal was just down to bad goalkeeping, and nothing to do with his finish. Does he have an agenda?

Whats the bet he wouldnt say that if he played for pool

As Souness said.. all we need is one big time striker and we are going to be a real force challenging for CL and Prem. 

Haaland would take us to the top.

Yeah, for sure. A 20 goal a season striker and we're pretty much set. All we need after that would be a non-funsized CM.

I dont see why not though? Tuchel isn’t going to let us sit off and just settle for a 0-0 its not his nature to play for draws. 

If we play like we did today, having Callum at RWB could be more fruitful than having James in to be honest. Both good players and good options but I think Porto are going to have to come at us as they did at times in the first leg so there will be gaps and having Callum in definitely bears more of a threat than James does in an attacking sense because he can go at players. James offers more defensive security to be fair but I think at 2-0 up if we play anything like today, we will be fine.

I was concerned if it was a poor performance today going into it that we would find it more difficult as shown last week after WBA.

Either way Pulisic has to play at all costs. Another timely reminder than without the injuries he is probably still our best attacking player considerably.

If we are to persist with this formation an elite CB and CM are still needed along with a ST. 

We all trusting Kepa to take over Mendy whilst he's in AFCON?
