Gillies Apprentice

Credit where it’s due , I thought she was a quality ref .The way she let the game flow and ignored the now familiar overreaction to challenges ,was a breath of fresh air - in total contrast to the fussy , card happy officiating we had in our CL league campaign and are accustomed to seeing in European competitions

I think we have an unallocated space in our squad ,so could still sign a free agent

Losing Wilf also massively diminishes our aerial competitiveness ,which I think is partly why he played 3 at the back last night .As Choudhury is nailed on to start on Sat , I wouldn't be surprised to see Benkovic brought back in if he's fit , especially as Fuchs has played so much recently ( although on form there would be a good case for dropping Chilwell instead )

Interesting to see that there were 57 away fans
