Thought the entire back 5 were outstanding. Special mention to Davies who just gets better and better. Kane awesome as always. The ref was diabolical

What a win, so proud and pleased to do Dortmund how we did. Brave performance, pragmatic approach from Poch to sit a bit and counter.

Great win, lucky with the 2 disallowed goals but we could have scored 10 2nd half after being totally outplayed in the 1st half
Lucky only with 1 of those disallowed goals. (Albeit super-fucking-Arsenal-of-old lucky with that second one, it has to be said)

If Aurier and Sanchez start against Swansea then I genuinely feel sorry for them, if our attack is like it was tonight and with those two at the back, it could end up a cricket score, especially now we have won convincingly at Wembley as well so that is off our back.

We have genuinely improved what was already the best defense in the premier league.

Massive result in the context of our season ,the " hoodoo" banished and a grade A euro team put to the sword ,let's build on this and smash Swansea on Saturday.

Aurier = instant fan favourite.
Seemed a bit disoriented and playing his own game at times, which is understandable. Showed he is likely to be a proper upgrade on Walker. So dogged and so determined in the way he plays; you could see at times how that infected others around him.

Very excited to see him integrate and become a boss.

So this is the champions league right? Just played one of the best teams in Europe right? Someone tell me the truth cos I'm in fucking dream land. We have the greatest striker in the world. Aurier ain't bad either eh. What a time to be alive. That second half was a view into how to go all the way. I'd like to see us use these tactics against the teams that play like this in the league.

Aurier really impressed me. Has power and pace plus more of a football brain than walker. Have a feeling at the end of the season we will be laughing at the buy and sale at left back.

Also harry Kane is a fucking galactic class beastly monster. Great play in the second half.

They were more cohesive tbf. We were more effective.

First half yes, not second when they tired.
We weren't just more effective in terms of finishing, we created more clear cut chances, the fact it was on the counter mostly doesn't matter.

It's probably been said in here but it appears that we've added another tactical string to our bow. Early days but an interesting option when needed.

It was just a incident of contact. It happens all the time. Not even a foul. The shite bag Gotze did one there

Clutching face syndrome is highly contagious at the moment. Torres clawed Verts = nothing.

The position I trust Poch to get the right players in for, more than anywhere else, is full-back. Clyne, Shaw, Walker, Rose, Trippier and Davies have all improved massively under him. Let's hope Aurier is his next masterpiece, even if it looks like it might hinder KWP's development.
