I am over the moon we went through to the QF. I wasnt happy with our performance. Watching the pre press conference from Arteta and what he said right after the game in Porto I thought we learnt more about this difficult opponent.

We struggled massively. They dictated the way we are playing again. We had some players not at the normal required level. Thought we were better prepared to beat them comfortably.

The crowd made a massive difference to be honest (not me, was up in the heavens) but was so loud and the fans behind the goal going crazy with phone torches and scarf waving. But yeah Raya brilliant, didnt even realise he saved the first one till I got home and read it on BBC

Yeah. I bet the bloke who sits next to me that I saw him tip it. Will get a free hamburger next time.

Cheers for this

Last night's win was crucial for our CL seeding next season.

The seed

Man City, Real Madrid and Bayern are the clubs I really want to avoid.

Bayern? They are well crap this season.

Harry Kane penalty

After conceding 3 before that!

Gnabry own goal 🤠👍

I still feel Bayern will be a big threat. Hopefully Man City draw them or Real Madrid.

No one is scared of Inter? 70 goals scored with 13 conceded, but lets see if they get through tonight

Mhiktarian, Sanchez, Arnautivic, Cuadrado, Darmien, Klaassen - its like a who's who of PL has-beens

Henry walked out of the room just before Raya's last save, he said when he saw Galeno and his demeanor, he knew he was going to miss

Galeno and his demure

You're welcome.

🤠👍

Malik Scott gonna give Carragher a stone cold stunner

Carragher a strange lad. Can tell he gets really bitter if he gets wound up and makes things personal. Remember the time he got wound up by yer man Le Tissier and said he would make his life miserable by getting his twitter followers to abuse him 🤣

Congrats on last night, lads. Made to sweat for it, but job done is all that matters now. Aggregate score in the R16 counts for nothing when the next round kicks off.

As for Madrid, I think we're very beatable this year. You've got the football to do it - maybe not the experience yet, but that isn't the only thing that counts.

Porto played a vicious block against us. Nasty. Not seen a team nullify us like that in quite some time. But they also had some dangerous moments going forward.

I think we'll perform better against some of the other teams. Doesn't mean we'll beat them, but should be more enjoyable. My bum was CLENCHED throughout the whole game last night

That comment by Cara about Malik was weird
He got bantered fair and square

Who was our 5th penalty taker?
