Jesus lads, let me just get a little dig in on City will you’s.

City lose DeBruyne to injury, they have Foden or Silva to come in. We lose Salah, we have Elliot to play there. I love Harvey, but you can’t compare City having injuries to anybody else. They have two teams in that squad, and both can compete at the highest level.

Kelleher has to start. I wouldn’t trust Adrian to hold my pint, nevermind start a game of football. Should see a good few young lads in the team, but I hope we aren’t looking to squander this tie.

Poch summed himself up with his management towards the end of the City game. Chelsea were completely in control, but he decided to take the mad decision of subbing off Palmer, the only player who can hold on to the ball. Just surrendered all possession to a City team who specialise in piling on constant pressure. Also, I think it’s mad that Chelsea fans would have anything but love for Gallagher. He’s one of the small handful of players who look like they are fucking arsed. Technically limited or not, he’s playing and acting like a good captain in a season where so many players are hiding.

From the get go, he didn’t have them under control. Weak management that was. Couldn’t inspire them to work together to achieve the top goals. Regardless of their ego’s that goes against him big time.

Poch looked a bit mediocre at PSG. That is as much of a ‘tap in’ job as you get and he had Neymar, Messi & Mbappe as his front three. The man is just not a natural winner.

I don’t want him to go. Give him a gap year if he needs a rest.

Amazing. Absolutely deserved.

Caicedo still hasnt’t got one has he? Crazy.

Another half hour, need to get it to pens now. I can’t see us scoring from open play as things stand.

If there was anybody on the bench, I’d haul Gakpo off. He’s been shite.

Endo barely even blocks him, he doesn’t hold Colwill at all, infact it’s the other way around. One of the worst in a while and that’s saying something.

Fucking farcical.

Thought that. Chilwell the aggressor there.

How does the ref not give Caicedo a yellow for the foul he just committed literally a minute after play re started? Absolute moron.

So now we lose Gravenberch to a horrible tackle from Caicedo. Little cunt.

I thought both would have made the bench, so it’s gutting to see them out. Can’t say I’m massively confident for this game.

That Wigan try that wasn’t overturned when there was an angle that clearly showed it not getting put down followed by the ‘no try’ Panther’s try that looked pretty clear to me from a couple of the angles is a bit of a joke from the video ref.

I want a Leipzig win today, and I know it’s bad to want that but I want Xabi to win the league so need more Bayern dropped points.

Happy to see Palace doing well, but Burnley are truly awful.

Can’t argue with that.

Absolutely delighted with that. Thought my worst fears were going to come true after that first goal but credit to the lads they haven’t half done well tonight. Night little confidence boost going into Sunday.

Yes!

Already a goal down.

Any win will do. Our first 11 has been ravaged, and while we do still have options, it is FAR from an ideal situation we find ourselves in. The front three tonight (and possibly the final) will likely be Diaz, Gakpo & Elliott.
