7 outta 10 player. Every game. Reliable, adaptable, not a problem off the field, athlete, and still got his best years ahead of him. Would start for 95 per cent of premier league teams. What’s not to like? Plus he seems a really nice guy. Can’t ask for any more.
 
I’m delighted with that. I’d have even taken a draw as surely they have to try and play a bit in the 2nd leg. I’m more confident of winning there than I was of winning tonight
 
The absolute of anti football that, Christ.

Glad we didn’t get impatient against it, thoroughly deserved win.

Second match would be tough especially in first minutes ,and if we want to hope we have to score first.... anyway , in tonight's game we had a good performance but 1-0 is not enough against a total different team in them home in a few nights and with a Mediterranean hot atmosphere.... Ps.... Jesus is out for the game in Madrid,walker also , let's hope for Dias return....

Walker's back mate.
 
All about results. We got what we wanted so happy days. Taking a lead over there was vital, means they have to attack at some point and with walker available again we will have more protection against the counter. Should suit us a lot more than tonight.

Thought our performance was crap, no individual was shit but no individual was particularly good either the whole team was lacking. We shifted it around far too slowly, played like it was a shape training session with no nets, side to side with little tempo in our game and gave the ball away a ridiculous amount of times under no pressure just simple misplaced passes. Fair play to Pep for making 3 subs at once, it gave us the shot in the arse we needed, especially foden.

Defended the counter very well throughout, gundogan made a brilliant recovery run and tackle second half and the entire back 4 generally did well. Special mention to Ake who's come in from the cold and playing out of position, completely locked that side down. There's a lot, and I mean an awful lot of people he's making look foolish everytime he steps on the pitch.

Shame we couldn't get a more commanding lead but I would have taken 1-0 tonight. On to Sunday where we will need to be a lot better and I expect we will be.
