Oh change the record. If they didn't make a difference you'd complain, now because Jones and Elliott make a difference it's because PSG were tired. Seriously, give it up and just be happy with the win.

Is it too much to say our keeper won us that game and their keeper lost it for theirs? The more I watch our goal the more I think it should be saved?
Yeah a lot of of work to do in summer (specifically replacing TAA and Robbo, possibly Salah too).
The way I look at it, there a four 1v1 battles in wide areas (2 for their team, and 2 for ours), and in that first half we lost every single one of them.
In the 2nd leg, we need to at least win 2 of those 4 battles.
Surely it can't be as bad as today.
But they were tired...
Our players came on and had more energy
I fucking hate that prick. I wish it was me that kicked him in the face instead of that Monaco forward.
Curtis came on and gave us a foot on the ball, and actually made time on the ball. Endo was pure Endo. The Boy and Nunez won the game. Other than Ali who was stupendous, the subs all made a big impact.
They won at home though.
I love Mo but that was awful. So glad when he came off.
No, but the Germans do
Before I write what I think about the game I want to say how much of a disgrace TNT were tonight. Crying for what seems like hours over Konate red card and not realising it can only be a red had the ref gave a foul.
Okay, to the game. Let’s take the emotion out of it.
Right up to Diaz’s hospital pass, it was even. That incident got their tails up and up to about 37 minutes it was all them. Somehow Jota started getting the ball to stick and won some free kicks and got by some players. Second half they were down to shots from distance. Great telly saves from Ali but you’d expect him to make them.
From about the 60th we started to get those gaps between the lines and then made the subs. All of them made a difference. We found the gaps and made some mad choices or passes like Mo and Nunez messing them up.
Then the goal. Did it. Lovely. Then that was followed up with our Ninja cutting out a late attack by them.

Donnarumma's always got a howler in him. This season alone against Atletico and Arsenal.
Really? That pisses on my chips. I thought they were away. Oh well.
I saw that post about PSV, when did Arsenal become so small time?
He left Trent to it for most of the game and Grav had to keep cutting across as Mo jogged back…the difference (defensively) when Elliot came on was striking.
He should have been hooked on 60..

Since they stopped finishing in 8th.
I thought Trent had a brilliant game
I still want Nunez sold, but he came on and made a positive impact, as he should.
Sure they were tired, but so was our defence, and he made more of an impact that their subs.
He done so many things we usually critique him for:
1) Got back onside from the long ball
2) Fought hard and won the ball/second ball
3) Actually controlled the ball
4) Instead of have a brainless blocked shot, got his head up and saw Harvey
5) Played a perfectly weighted ball into his run and not behind him
Usually Nunez would fuck up in any of 1 of these 5 areas. But today he delivered.
True. That wasnt exactly a howler though, just "should have saved it."
Moi aussi
They all played well and yes, they made more impact than their subs.
The defender began the move 10 metres ahead of Harvey fell asleep and chased him into the box 3 meters behind him.
They also just ran out of ideas and their subs made them worse?
I’m not reading the thread but did anyone mention that elbow being thrown out at Mac (?) in the 47th minute?
Snap.
Really good interview
