Get top dollar for Murillo and hopefully reinvest more wisely in the team over the summer but we really need to stay up

I cant see us gettting top dollar for Murillo. He's good but hes not going to be the stellar player we thought he might. Imo.

What’s top dollar? Surely he’s worth 60m still

Yes £60 million I think is top dollar for Murillo. Don’t get me wrong he is a technically gifted good player but I think he has reached his ceiling and we should do what Brighton do and sell when they are at their top price. I think we have a ready made replacement in Cunha

We’ve looked like a drunk walking along a cliff edge at times but somehow we are in a semi final.

Was Dyche back in charge for the second half?

No because Cunha was playing and Dyche said he was crap.
COYR!

Adama Traore is a far better winger than Ndoye or Bakwa.............I can appreaciate how pissed Nuno was with those Edu signings.......

Last night showed just how poor those 2 are..............Hutchinson has potential and whips in some good crosses.

I still cant believe we paid £40m for Ndoye. He's nowhere near the level of players that go for that price. What did Nuno spend on Traore? It was £5m or somthing wasnt it?

I've got a lot more time for Hutchinson, despite having reservations when he arrived. He's made an impact this season.

And Hutchinson will improve.
I'm looking forward to his second season.
I doubt it will be as explosive as Elanga's but significantly better.

NDoye was truly dreadful again. Bakwa at least tried although did his usual giving the ball away.
Jesus looks bereft of confidence and the whole team looked terrified to shoot. Thats why I said it was like a Dyche performance last night. Jesus on his own in the box marked by 4 defenders and the rest of the team playing sideways and backwards behind him.
Neco and Jair Cunha were both excellent.

We had a good night last night but this morning we'll be getting the bill. 3 injuries to key players, one which looks bad, and the reality that the two legged semi-final is going to proper bugger up our run-in.

We all wanted Europe though - no point grouching about it.

Is anyone going to give Porto any credit?

They are an excellent team with a very good manager and we have beaten them.

We were much the better side in the first half and nobody could have complained if we were 3-0 up.

Second half we rode our luck a bit but that was to be expected as Porto only had 45 minutes to save the game. They are also vastly experienced in these situations unlike ourselves.

Thought we defended well though and I don't recall Ortega having to make a save of note.
Panic on the streets of Croydon, Derby, Sheffield, Leicestershire.
