Hope Gittens can get a goal second half. Would also be nice to Garnacho come off the bench and score also. Not going to get a better chance than tonight. Take Tosin off too I would say, just as he in on a yellow.

It’s going to be a special night for a couple of the young academy lads in tonight’s squad. Can see a few getting some minutes when the score gets to maybe 7

I'm nervous about Jorrel Hato after realizing this is the rabble he comes from.

How's Fofana doing?

A bit all over the place, like every defender in this game.

I thought we could have a "live" Champions League table update for Val's benefit !

Fofana is probably our 5th choice CB at this point

After all the fouls he committed, I thought it was quite funny that Weghorst finally got his yellow card for a mere mouthing off at the referee LOL

Another 4 goals in the 2nd half, unanswered, and we should crack the Top 8 by the close of this evening.

Fofana and Tosin aren't looking good together.

Typical champions league match, fun to watch and good feeling to lead.

There is no reason to stop playing, we need to keep pushing forward. COME ON CHELS!

No reason for caicedo and Enzo not to be rested now.

Caicedo, Enzo, Bounanotte and Estevao off, Chalobah, Santos, Walsh and RKM on please.

Dont what to curse it but I think we might win this one.

With colwill out I think Fofana and Acheampong would be our best CB pairing.

Go for more goals! There are more important things at stake here than resting players 😖

100% hook him he’s a red waiting to happen.

Only reason I can see Maresca keeping him on is due to w**kerhust height!!

Josh is up there height wise I reckon

Chalobah over Fofana. Chalobah hasn't been great this season, but Fofana looks like he has forgotten how to play football.

Don't get the hype for the guy, especially now. Gonna need a full season before we can judge if he is even good enough for this level anymore.

I get changes. Changes make sense. But taking Guiu off for George to play out of position. Wtaf. Nothing against George but Guiu is a Jack Russell that can run all night long.

Santos George and Chalo on for Enzo Guiu and Tosin

Why not play Guiu for the full 90 jfc

George scores!!!! Hahaha

GEORGE!!!

I know it's boring, etc, etc, but that was a nice passing sequence to get Estavao onr v one.

Easy!!!!!

Another £5m on Tyrique's January transfer fee then !

The boy knows how to shoot that's for sure :- )

Nice deflection again LOL

Probably wants to save him for the weekend. I'll be surprised if he doesn't start vs Sunderland.
