Threadbare squad, and we had about 30 positive minutes over the tie.

How Nwaneri didn't get on the pitch is baffling.

Too many slim margins. We're great at ball retention, but we're not ruthless enough. We rarely blow teams away by 3+ goals.

We need to think of alternative approaches for the final third next season. We've relied heavily on set pieces and Saka moments of brilliance to win us games.

If (when) we lose this, and
if (when) we get knocked out of the CL, and then
if (when) we finish third, can we say objectively that this season has been a failure/step back?

Dec has been the only glimmer of positivity this last week.

Fair..

Baleba and Saliba in the same team? That's just gonna get confusing 🤣

Is this the Henry game in 2005/06?

Got to wonder what Ismael Kabia and Nathan Butler-Oyedeji need to do to get on the pitch.

We're 6 goals up on aggregate - why risk Martinelli, Ødegaard, and Trossard?

KT hat trick. Calling it.

Four if you include Kiwior.. 🤯

Imagine playing four LBs, two RBs, no striker AND Raheem Sterling, but still managing to score seven away from home?

As if.

🤣

Gotta feel for the kid. 2 LBs and Sterling preferred to him. Not even sure who was playing where.

He's earned the #10 shirt for me.

.. Sterling through the middle. He clearly doesn't have the legs to leave a fullback for dust, but his trickery in the centre - with more room against a heavier centre half - might prove more fruitful as a false 9.

Agree about Merino on the bench. He was the breakthrough against a tired Leicester defence, but I'm not sure he's the attacking solution we need to start.

The only thing for me that HAS to happen is Trossard back on the left. That's where he's most effective. I wouldn't be averse to seeing...

What was that celebration actually all about? Who's he shushing?

Think you've been very, very kind to Sterling. He was just dire - so sad to see.

Wouldn't be surprised if he checks out to the MLS or Saudi in the summer. He's not PL level any more.

Rasmus Hojlund: 19 games upfront, 2 goals.

Mikel Merino: 19 minutes upfront, 2 goals.
