Neave looks good!

Harsh on Sahar this.

Was that so hard Elanga?

Honestly looked like he belonged more to their side than ours tonight.

Awful game management so far.

Need to see Neave and Sahar second half.

Not much can be said about that half to be honest, lets make sure we keep the same momentum in the second half as it will be disrespectful not to.

Fully with Gordon on insisting he takes it, no need for Tripps to jump in and ask him not to take it as he's the designated taker. great penalty too.

Super harsh but we should be 6 up by now.

Barnes with some awful finishing today.

Played in two cup games and scored in one, not involved in the league.

Did enough to impress Tuchel i hope to get a call up ahead of the world cup, although not sure we need our players to be playing more games at the minute.

I think he needs a rest in the next period, maybe not Qarabaq but definitely against City.

Vintage Sandro performance, showed up when he was needed and drove us to victory.

You can doubt his quality but you can't doubt how much effort he puts for the side, Wissa should learn from him.

Nailed on for the world cup with a performance like that in front of the England manager.

Looked like he was playing against us at times today, i really appreciate that for a player probably on his last few months of playing at this level we've over-used him but really hope we can give him some rest very soon.

Played well in that position whatever it was

Red card helped but really happy with both his rotation and bold team selections in the last two games, did what was needed to get two very important away wins.

Can't believe how bad our set pieces have become.

I remember him and Anita in midfield and teams will just run through them as if they were not even there.

That was a fantastic game of football to be fair.

Big Sam must be sitting next to the phone waiting today.

PIF generally don't get overly involved in the investments they make, they leave it to the management team appointed to do the work and they are only involved for approvals and high level decisions. i think with Darren Eales illness and the new guy just coming in and getting settled we'll only see things really moving from this summer on wards.

I was surprised by their players lack of desire yesterday, a lot of them seem to be on auto-pilot and how Thiaw was allowed to rebound his own header was a good example. some of their signings like Mathys Tel looked awful all game (but then checking his stats he's doing better than Elanga who costed 25m more) however they are a good example of how investments like new stadium and signings don't guarantee success.
