Good result! We really, really needed that!!

Done and dusted!

Good win! 

 

We looked so much better when we switched to a 4-3-3 

Yeasss!!! 3 points.

Zouma has had that guy in his pocket all night

Get in! We needed that.

Not a great performance, far from it, I actually think we got away with it a bit, but it's a big win, it's one we had to win. 

MOTM Kepa he saved us

Good performance and a fantastic result. A couple of nervy moments here and there but on the whole a job very well done.

Tomori needs to say a big thank you to Kepa, saved us on two embarassing occasions at the end. 

Big 3 points tonight. Lille are no pushovers, especially at home.

Yes boys...the CL is still ok. And so are we! We can do this.

Vital game next up....the group winners

Tomori been fantastic, but those 2 mistakes at the nend were poor. Hopefully doesnt affect him mentally like it did Christensen against Barca and derailed his career

One was his fault though.

Huge win and second in the group. Can't complain.

These CL scraps are going to be difficult for us regardless, we aren't going to demolish any team in this group, the ultimate takeaway here is that we grinded 3 points, so I'm very happy with the team. 

And good on WIllian, I've gave him a lot of slack this season but he's come up with the winner yet again. 

Willian's goal was a sweet strike, hit the ground and looped over the keeper. If he keeps producing end products like those, I'm happy.

Kepa saved us towards the end there. Tomori switched off on a couple occasions, needs to maintain focus especially on the dying minutes.

Hopefully some fans that were there tonight will post a pic here, the Lille stadium looks very nice.

I don't think so, Tomori should have done better there on both occasions, Kepa saved us. 

Good result, controlled the game. Now to sort the corner defending out.

Big win, and some important experience for the 5 academy boys involved tonight. 

Not going to pick apart individual perfomances, willians goal was worthy of winning any game.

I fancy us beating these at home, also beating valencia at their place, so it will come down to who fairs best against ajax, who again look fantastic.

Yes let's hope that is not his career derailed.

Have to blame Tomori for the awful back pass though although Kepa should maybe have made better contact.

I think 11 points in 7 games is subpar and 1 clean sheet is subpar.  Right now, he's not in the same conversation as Sarri  or Conte as far as quality - the hope is he will be in a year or two.

Nor should he be expected to be, given the enormous differences in managerial experience.

Youre usually positive, but tonight you have gotten it wrong, we were pretty good, especially the second half, yes its still raw, but we were defintley the better team tonight.

One theory I heard about the zonal marking is that we have a relatively short team in terms of height so it suits this system better.

Jose said it Forbzy in his post match comments after the Liverpool game.
