Porto sabotaged themselves in both legs.

I think both Wood and Hudson-Odoi went off injured, not that they won't be fit to play against us. No yellow cards for their players either.

Porto looked the kind of slicksters that are capable of playing through us and then defending a lead solidly, they've beat themselves though. Forest if we match the intensity and fight we should be able to beat.

Would rather have had Porto.

Oh well.

Second leg at home is huge, can't see us not making the final.

Pretty impeccable quarter final performance all told. One step closer.

Brilliant effort over the two legs. Need to back it up in the semi-final now.

Our first goal was superb, and the other two were really well taken. Hope it boosts Rogers confidence again.

If we can replicate that 1-1 we got at the City Ground last weekend in the first leg that'd be grand lads.

Would have preferred Porto but bring on Nottingham Forest.

I would hope to better that.

Reckon that could go all the way to pens: God knows what time we will all get home!

Wasn't expecting it to be as easy and as comfortable as that. We were great.

However long it takes pens up to the 4th round to be taken with our record at them recently as Forest do seem fine with them.

Some really good football today, great combinations and Buendia was outstanding. Bailey still struggling, but signs Rogers might be getting some form back (pen aside).

Piece of piss.

Would’ve preferred Porto but we’ll beat Forest over two legs.

Couldn't have gone much better, missed pen aside
