Terrible Saturday? I thought we played Everton off the park but failed to create many chances. Against an in form Everton and Dyche side I thought we played pretty well.I'm delighted right now but we were terrible saturday? Our performances this season show that we're massively missing Moises and Alexis and this constant rotation and the injury problems are hurting us badly
I don't care if you have a problem with me commenting that I thought we were bad Saturday

Do we want a Marseille win? I guess a draw preferably, but if not then a Marseille win makes at least 2nd place in the group very possible.Marseilles leading
Missed the whole game as was working, but a nice surprise to see we won comfortably again. I mean I expected us to win again, but it’s one thing expecting us to beat a poor 4 time European champions, but it’s another to actually deliver it away from home. Good to see Fati has scored again. Looking forward to the weekend now.

What a match it could be in three weeks - and an incredible atmosphere to go with it!

Ref was good tonight kept up with the play and actually knew the hand ball rule unlike our lot of incompetent donkeys.

I felt like they gave us the ball and we did nothing with it. Good that we didn't get countered to death like the 5-1 though.

TBF, they did play in the 1998 Intertoto Cup where they got stuffed by the mighty Samsunspor.
Meanwhile we did the double over 4 time European champions Ajax.

Couldn't agree more
I think a draw is marginally preferable but realistically we are going to need 6 points to finish top. And top is a big advantage as 2nd place plays a play off with a 3rd place UCL team whereas top gets a bye.

Obviously, a fantastic night for the players and fans. Two superb goals and a clean sheet to top it off!

Adringa can take a chance. Doesn’t panic when in on goal.

Unless or until we beat AEK away that results v each other rule, makes them a pain in ass. Is Marseille win better than them?
Still chance that AEK equalise and doubt anyone wouldn't have taken a winner takes all final group match at the Amex (if that's how it pans out)

How he didn't book Berghuis I'll never understand. An elbow and a stamp in one movement and moaning from start to end - Van Bommelesque behaviour.
Mature performance despite our lack of European experience.
For them thought Brobbey was impressive. The strength he showed to hold off PVH was notable. Could imagine him leading the line for us and opening space for the intricate passing of others / 2nd striker
