Ugh, Thomas, that was gross 

Did anyone see Tuchel lose his gum?  

Need to be a bit more careful in midfield, we are giving the ball away a lot.

So exciting to watch us play when the football is like this. Credit to Lille as well.

Fantastic transition from defence to attack so far. We look 10x faster than against Palace. Shame we didn't manage to score another one but there's plenty of time...

Kova is a bit off the pace so far.

I think we need an extra man in midfield, Kovacic and Kante are being dominated. Or maybe a cooler head like Jorginho in there.

Rüdiger must have his boots on the wrong feet today.

Eh it hasn't been crisp.  in the last 15 to 20 minutes we keep losing the ball at the midfield. 

Is it me or Lille looks better in the attzck and combination + recovery.

Tends to happen alongside Kante for some reason. I think both of them play a lot better alongside Jorginho.

Kante is having a great game so far.

Lille are a decent side

Premier League is sh*te compared to this. I just love Champions League.

It's almost as if having everyone involved in the build up means more fluidity and chance creation.

I genuinely think RLC could be useful in the 2nd half.

Alonso very weak

Once he crosses the half way line he is okay, but in our own half, he is as guilty of giving it away as anyone so far.

Did you not watch his cameo against Palace? Looked like he thought he was still on loan there.

Alonso....

Really?

Alonso is getting torn apart. 

I'd say to pull Alonso but I'm not sure who should replace him.

You could stick Pulisic back there but he's playing pretty well where he's at.
