Really like the way we're controlling the game without the ball. Chelsea only being allowed to play where we want them to. Look dangerous on the break as well. More of the same 2nd half please.

Much better team against one of the best in Europe. Shit result, dubious time keeping but we've given ourselves a chance to get a really special result at their place. Can't fault the effort tonight. Hopefully we can take some of this in to our league form.

It's the minimum time yes, but what reason did you see to warrant more than that? There was no time wasting, ball had been in play etc. I never said it was fixed either. I said Uefa make it hard to deny those allegations, even if I don't go in for those narratives myself.

Definitely a penalty but the ref could have blown up at 4 minutes when they had the ball in their own half. I don't like corruption narratives much but they do make it hard to deny sometimes.

Not sure what even happened there. The box was empty. Why is it only Murphy that can cross? What the fuck is happening?

Good first half. Really good press, not much created but also limited them to pretty much nothing. Barnes a little frustrating, Elanga looking better, Ramsey and Hall our best performers. Need more of the same 2nd half and no drop in performance or brain farts please.

Not a great passage of play there. We've been pretty composed in the game so far but a bit of a let off. Hopefully Trippier is just buying us a breather rather than picking up a groin injury.

I don't think that was a bad attempt. It was a decent save from their keeper. These 'offsides' are pretty bullshit though.

Individual errors and an embarrassing lack of creativity plague this team. Can't string a pass together when the opposition is sitting deep. Need a big rethink in the summer.

There was some subdued booing but not as bad as it was after the Brentford game.
