The EL performances epitomize the change in Morelos` new approach. Today 1 goal and 3 assists, last week was 3 assists ... brilliant.

 

BTW, I like the look of Wright with every passing minute.

Apology accepted, Nathan.

What a performance and at times we were unplayable. When we click, we are a very, very, very good football team and an absolute joy to watch. 

 

Last 16 of EL for the 2nd consecutive season and unbeaten in Europe. One defeat so far this season, just an incredible season thus far.

 

Onto Livi away next Wednesday.

Well 9 - 5 on aggregate.

Almost a cricket score.

Oh, wait, after today it is..

He played like he was sorry! excellent talent, can only get better

Another amazing game.  I'm not surprised it was so open again but really pleased at how clinical we were across the two ties, even if we could have scored even more goals.  The defending not so good at times and I don't think we ever really looked comfortable with Antwerp moved the ball a bit quicker.

 

The Morelos pen wasn't soft as, compared to the Antwerp one last week, he's beat the man, got tapped and it affected his ability to chase down his own touch, unlike the Israeli who threw himself to the ground. Two very different examples of two rather similar slight contacts.  The same was true with the Wright penalty.

 

Another great win and I can't wait until tomorrow's draw!

Very enjoyable viewing.  

 

This season is something else.

 

Kent and Morelos were both absolutely terrific tonight.

Another win and progress to the next round,  well done

By the way Morelos was a 10/10 performance.  Antwerp had no clue how to play him and I think five defenders had a go over the two legs and couldn't do it.
