It’s been a long time since we were here and an even longer time since we actually won a CL knockout tie. 14 years to be exact, which also happened to be against Porto in 2010.
No idea if Porto are any good or not but if we play like we have done in the CL so far I’m sure we should be able to get through unscathed.
1-2.
3-0 Francisco Evanilson de Lima Barbosa - aka Evanilson - hatter
I've not seen them play, but UEFA ranked them as three places above us last year but we've come on since then so hopefully we have enough to do the job

Although on the other hand might start referring to our players by their full Portuguese names
Gabriel Dos Santos Magalhães
Gabriel Teodoro Martinelli Silva
Jorge Luiz Frello Filho
Gabriel Fernando de Jesus
Fabio Daniel Ferreira Vieira
So same team as started against Burnley…on one hand I’m naturally concerned about the lack of rotation, on the other hand there is so natural replacements to come in with the exception of Jorginho for Havertz (I think we could be pushing our luck a bit not having more defensive cover in midfield)
What I do note however is that Fabio Vieira makes the bench. I would be surprised if he’s not brought on at some point against his former club.
Porto: Costa, Mario, Pepe, Otavio, Wendell, Varela, Gonzalez, Conceicao, Pepe, Galeno, Evanilson.
Subs: Ramos, Cardoso, Eustaquio, Grujic, Sanchez, Jaime, Namaso, Franco, Baro, Martinez, Borges, Pedro.
Arsenal: Raya, Kiwior, Saliba, Gabriel, White, Havertz, Rice, Odegaard, Martinelli, Trossard, Saka.
Subs: Ramsdale, Hein, Cedric, Sweet, Heaven, Elneny, Vieira, Jorginho, Smith Rowe, Nelson, Nwaneri, Nketiah.
If we can’t get the better of old man Pepe.
Say wha...?
Champions League theme
wtf was Rice doing there, really clumsy tackle and he's got booked?
Yellow for Rice already.
