That Fenerbahce side is about the level of West Ham…2/3 real threats (obvious 2 we know about) but the rest are standard (not exactly PSG or Barcelona)  so we should lift the misery a bit…we lined up pretty much as expected so should be competitive - bring it on!

Unless he takes him down as last man, I’d say Duran is the more likely of the two to get sent off.

Zaha and Bamford seemed to get Mings wound up and losing his composure, Duran is a similar type.

It's time for The Sanch to do something. I like him, but I can't keep defending him.

Do something.

Come on!

He’s got a massive chance to show everyone what he is capable of. If he can’t do this now until the end of the season he never will.
Unfortunately, I don't see him rising to the occasion.
I'm eating a little piece of humble pie right now and - because of my continuing reservations about him - he still has things to do to justify his cost for us.

Sancho, if he only had 50% of the first touch of Leo Messi would have 2 goals. As it is was -10% the first touch and the easy opportunity vanished.

What an excellent first half. You don’t get many better away performances than that. Although we have messed up 2/3 really good opportunities. Here’s hoping that was our shit half.

Yes, need to be ruthless and take our chances.
