Martinelli hold up play at the 9 has been fantastic. #afc

Howe has done a fantastic job at Newcastle. But if they want to even get close to breaking 80/85 points needed to get CLOSE to a title then surely they are aware they must get rid of him? His entire tactical foundation is 11 players behind the ball and counter-attack (very well tbf).

Lewis Skelly knows what's up.... My man

@ingridrobeyns.bsky.social Cannot find a definite answer online so thought - why not ask the author! Does your book have a German printing? Or if not, does it plan to? :)

We're still completely in this. We are more than capable of beating them by a few goals next week as we'll have Partey back. #afc

We can't hold the ball whatsoever. Partey was so thick for getting that yellow card man. #AFC

Are Madrid still a really bad team or was it only when Arsenal beat them?

Propper pathetic performance. The prem is so boring atm #afc

Even for the people who are in favor of this. What on earth could it possibly achieve outside of worsening racist discourse from people not caring about wider contexts?????

Saka makes it look so easy man

Obviously paying too much attention to rival fans is a waste of time. But before the tie started everyone was saying we had zero chance and now post-tie the narrative is that Madrid are awful. Never ever seen validation from rivals. The genuine people will speak honestly about how good we were.

This is it fellas, the type of night that we dreamed about back in 2020 when we were a laughing stock. It's time to show the world who we are. #afc

Our turn tomorrow. Let's show them who we are and stop all this talking. #afc

It's so funny how much worse we look when Odegaard comes on.

Just get me UCL football back, I am so bored of watching teams just turning up and putting 10 men behind the ball. It's not like these are Burnley either, Brentford are KNOWN for wide-open games yet come here and aren't interested in trying to play football. #AFC

How many more times do we want to drop points? Top 4 will VERY likely be fine but can we actually start winning some games in this run in? #afc

Think we have actually been OK to be honest, Zinchenko has been great to watch. Hard to do too much when only one team actually is interested in winning. #AFC

There were several moments tonight where Lewis-Skelly received the ball and his first touch and turn would leave whoever was onto him in the dust. Little movements like this can't be emphasised enough how key they are to us getting forward fast and being more dangerous. Generational player #AFC

Had a very shaky start and still think he needs to stop his common errors. But Kiwior was great tonight, comfy on the ball and never looked in any danger past half time. Whether he stays or not this summer, he's a top player and warrants the right respect. #afc

This is absolutely what it's all about. I love this squad so so much man. And let me not speak on Saka.... I wouldn't take any attackers in world football over him.

Never forget that mass injuries and PGMOL gave them this title. They are nowhere near the best team in this country.

So annoying Gabriel isn't available for the game as Madrid look really vulnerable at corners.

Why are Everton wasting so much time when they are playing for nothing? Surely you go for the win if anything?? #AFC

Yet another decision you will struggle to see elsewhere. It's so boring how that is given for a penalty. #AFC

Why did he stop the game there when he did not stop it for either of our injuries? None of them were head injuries either. #AFC
