Nervous. :sick:
Not because I don’t think we’re capable of turning this around, it’s mainly down to the years of PTSD from limp exits at this stage.
I would like to see Jesus and Zinchenko start this if fit.

Not especially nervous about this. It’s a bit like playing Stoke, if you’re not on your game they can beat you at their place but will always lose no matter what at yours
I could always come to regret saying this. But fuck it :shrug:
14 years since we've progressed from this stage. 14! :lol:
You want Porto to win then when Zin gives way a stupid goal?Quote:

still, 0-3 Evanilson hatter
It's gonna be a tough game no doubt, Porto will desperately try to stay on their feet for 90 mins - something they couldn't manage in the first leg.
But we will be much more confident at home, crowd will be on fire - we should win.
Must win
If we go through you should finally update that banner to read "Champions League quarter finalists 2024"Quote:

Just Raya coming in, otherwise the same.
Can’t say I’m surprised, not playing again for another couple of weeks. No obvious player that needs dropping…makes sense to keep things how they areQuote:

Arsenal Raya, White, Saliba, Kiwior, Gabriel, Rice, Jorginho, Odegaard, Saka, Trossard, Havertz.
Subs: Ramsdale, Hein, Tomiyasu, Soares, Zinchenko, Elneny, Partey, Vieira, Smith Rowe, Nelson, Nketiah, Jesus.
Porto: Costa, Mario, Pepe, Otavio, Wendell, Varela, Nico, Pepe, Conceicao, Evanilson, Galeno.
Subs: Ramos, Pedro, Cardoso, Sanchez, Grujic, Eustaquio, Jaime, Baro, Borges, Taremi, Namaso, Martínez
Internet had died for me. :lol:
Back now.
Saka shot fumbled.
Trossard 1-0
TROSSARD!!!
Huge goal that. Porto had been doing a number on us until then.
Hopefully that’s shaken off our nerves now.
Rice. :bow:
HT 1-0
Very even game and if we don’t get a second goal early this has the potential to be a bit grim.
We’ve played ok but you can tell there are some nerves out there.
Ref's been good so far, not falling for their antics like in Portugal.
Although saying that he just bought a blatant dive from Galeno :doh:
Porto are still too settled for my liking here. We haven’t really been able to put some sustained pressure on them.
Odegaard goal rightly disallowed <_<
:yikes:
My internet has been appalling so missed most of it.
Why? - am at the game but at other endQuote:

We’ve not done too much wrong but it’s clear we’re not playing with much confidence. I guess that’s the pressure of knockout football for you.
I reckon we’ll get done here.
Unlucky Jesus.
Really good save to deny Jesus.
Odegaard puts it wide!
Øpen gøal :(
Rice. :bow:
Brilliant from Rice
Awful from Saka.
