    Frustrating that he blows cold for so long yet has this in his locker. Like West Ham last year, then nothing.

    For us, Barnes should be that player you bring on in last 20 minutes against tired legs

    Barnes really plays the impact sub perfectly, he's quite the weapon

    And it is a strong player in that moment, it’s just so specific!! The issue is whilst he’s good at that, if we’re 1-0 down or drawing he’s ****ing useless at unlocking a defence!! He’s just a very specific player and not overly useful for where we are.

    More goals in three CL games than eight PL games. Safe to say the balance isn’t right yet.

    Mourhino battered.

    Benfica clearly aren't that great, but a nice positive night for us.

    Great all round performance. Could easily have had 2 or 3 more goals on the night.
