it was a win, but many players didn't play well,
Trippier is not a left sided player, we saw that last week and again tonight
why does Aurier run 30yds from half way line to pressure a defender who before Aurier gets there, hits a long ball and its one-on-one attacker with Toby, Aurier has done that a few times already this season

He's learning.
 
i really think we need to be at least a point ahead of dortmund after match day 4 to have any hope of qualifying for the knock out stage...probably an obvious thing to say, but we have done all we can do now
After match two we are 6 points ahead.
Great keeper and ambassador for our club but surely one of the worst kickers in the league
Does it matter?
We finished second with one of the best defensive records in the PL.
 
If we beat Apoel at home and drew with Dortmund, we would have 10 points. The maximum that Dortmund can get if they draw at home with us is also 10 points. We would qualify on the head to head.

Anything we get off Madrid would be a bonus.

so it will pretty much come down to the Dortmund game then as anything less than a draw will mean it's them not us going through. This will be the case even if we nick a point off RM which is unlikely.

Not correct. Assuming we beat Cyprus at home and Dortmund lose to real away, the best Dortmund can do is tie us at 9 points. So even if they win, they'd need the tiebreaker of head to head goal differential. A one goal loss in Germany would give us the tiebreaker. If we get a point vs madrid and beat Cyprus, Dortmund would need a point from Madrid away and need to beat us and win the tiebreak to have a chance.
