Seems Madrid is inevitable.

What me I sha know is that R.Madrid won't have a field day against us like they did against Barca, or even Liverpool. Our defence/midfield is certainly not open like that of Barca. Vinicius can't run James ragged like he did Mingueza/Araujo.

They thrive on counters, and they thrive when their two midfield maestros are given the chance to make things happen. Our impressive ability to shut down counterattacking channels (like we did against Atletico) and our press should ensure that they struggle with their usual approach.

Also gotta watch out for midfield runners like Valverde.

If you dial things up ten notches with Werner and Havertz in that attack, I no get hope.

I'm banking on defensive solidity to see us through, cos our attack is largely toothless
You've got a good point sha.

Our attack isn't good enough to beat PSG, Madrid or City tbh, but I believe our the organisation of our defence gives us a decent chance of a result

Come on lads
Bossman, I feel our attack IS good enough to beat those teams you mentioned. We might not have seemed overly convincing in terms of our attack, but I feel it has more to do with the approach from the manager, rather that the incapability of the attackers to perform. At the moment, Tuchel prefers to keep things under control, so he prefers to be more conservative and frustrate opponents. This is a stop gap approach, cause it is a contrast to the relentless gegenpressing TT is known for.

But when we decide to be more expressive and dial it up a notch, we can cause serious problems for anybody. Just that TT prefers taking a different approach for now.

James switched off there. Allowed him too much room
Baba you can't blame anyone for that goal.
It was spectacular. There was little James could do

Wow. That goal just came out of nothing, but nothing spoil.

This was a massive team effort, especially from a defensive point of view. James was a beast in the right, Silva put in a typical Rolls Royce performance, and Rudiger was fantastic as well. Jorgo had a splendid game. Kante was Kante. Chilwell also did well.

Big shout out to the front three. On a night when their defensive contributions were limited, they really helped on offense. Pulisic offered relief several times by winning countless fouls, Mount was tireless and helped disrupt Porto's flow severally, and Havertz really helped with the way he dropped deep to provide an outlet to relieve pressure.

Puli could've done better with his two chances though. But he was fantastic nonetheless.

MOTM? Very tough to decide. Between James, Silva, Jorginho and Pulisic for me.

I don't think you are watching this match.
Na wetin I wan be talk.

Asides one errant pass, I haven't seen anything Rudiger has done wrong.

In the absence of Air Zouma, Air Toni has been on display. grin

Hardly a beautiful display. Almost everyone has put a foot wrong at least once.

But Silva, Rudiger and Jorginho were my best performers for that half. Kante has been good as well, as has Azpi. The wingbacks have done well defensively.

The forwards have made no offensive contributions of note. But Havertz has helped a lot by dropping deep to relieve pressure and kink up, Pulisic has helped with his dribbles, and Mount has been very present assisting Chilwell on the left, and he's displayed some good link up play as well.

Definitely lacking the urgency and flair we saw three days ago. But we're here to get the job done. So far so good.

45mins away from the semis.

They both are, indeed.

Seems Azpi is experiencing some disturbances. He may not start.
He starts eventually.

There was a No. 10

His playmaking/chance creation ability was also pretty underrated too. Look at how many chances he created that were spurned.

Clean bill of health for tomorrow's game. Chris is back. TT will handle Kante's returns carefully, so don't be surprised if he doesn't start.

It'll be interesting to see the XI TT picks tomorrow, considering we have Man City on Saturday.
