    Lovely pass by Kane, decent shot by Son. Akinfeev's a bit lucky with that.

    My only thinking is Poch wants us to get a Wembley win under our belts and break that record before next season. Pretty piss poor reason though.

    Dier looks injured. Perfect.

    Eriksen has to be scoring that. Straight at the keeper! <doh>

    Good save by Akinfeev, but I feel that Eriksen shouldn't give him a chance. Great ball.

    A couple of the selections were because his hand was forced, for example Davies' injury means Rose was pretty much nailed on to start not just this game but pretty much every other one for a few weeks yet, while Janssen's ankle injury meant that Kane or Son would be starting up top, and Toby still not being 100% means Dier starts at the back, with the knock-on effects of Wanyama and Verts having to play instead of Wimmer at the back and Dier as a DMF - although it has to be said we probably should have rested one of Eriksen or Alli to give Onomah or N'Koudou a start.

    The atmosphere's so flat. We're not playing badly, but it feels like we are, if you know what I mean.

    Barring injuries, what's the odds Toby comes on at precisely 70 mins gone?

    Porto go 2-0 up against Leicester. I checked their side earlier and they've rested quite a few.

    How has Alli not scored that? Or at least forced a decent save out of Akinfeev.

    Wanyama's lucky that went out, as that was a silly foul and possible yellow, otherwise.

    We're playing quite well but very wasteful. This has 'sucker-punch' written all over it,.....

    If we score soon can we give Nkoudou a run out? He looked good when he came on recently. Hell I'd even give Sissoko a run out as well!

    All the more reason to field fringe players. The result doesn't matter.

    Shchennikkov in the book. Seems to have about ten different ways to spell his name, for some reason.
