I think we got lucky last night - though maybe if Zurich had scored, we would’ve stepped up and got another one if needed.

What I’ve most impressive this season is our reaction after conceding - there have been at least a couple of times where we’ve gone right back up the pitch and scored.

This team is much more resilient, but that can be exhausting as well - I’d love to have at least the option of having another reliable striker on call.

Problem is, if FFP hits anyone, it will likely be us.

You can’t win 5-0 every week. Do you remember us struggling to 1-0 wins against Bolton and West Ham with Ljungberg goals to win the league?

We can be pretty demanding. I get that we have to be more clinical at times, but last night showed you can be thwarted by good goalkeeping, and against Southampton, brutal defending or crap refereeing.

We just need anothee option for the times its not going so well. Something more direct
