Line up

[Ragatino]

4-4-2 apparently

[MidsMagpie]

Trippier starting again Howe must think he is still 28, Ramsey should have stayed in and not risked Tonali as the tie is pretty much already won.

[PhoneymcRingRing]

Happy he?s trying out new formations, there?s not working yet but it?s good that he?s trying

[Zippity]

Decent team, that, given the context.

[toptoon]

Substitutes: Nick Pope, John Ruddy, Aidan Harris, Lewis Hall, Yoane Wissa, Anthony Gordon, Anthony Elanga, Joe Willock, Leo Shahar, Sean Neave

[Zippity]

5 goal advantage and it looks like we've still filled the ground.

[toptoon]

I hope Neave, Shahar and Wissa get a run out.

[Jammy89]

I hope Neave, Shahar and Wissa get a run out.

Agreed.

Neave in particular.

Very please A. Murphy is starting.

Ramsey has a tight-hamstring so they decided to not risk him.

Amazon have put it as 4-3-3.

Osula with Murphy and Barnes either side.

[Jammy89]

Lets do them.

Another win and a clean sheet this time please.

[Jammy89]

Qaraabag have brought 361 fans with them.

They also arrived as late as UEFA will allow and are going from St. James back to the airport.

Good to see A. Murphy get his first tackle in.

Great goal - Tonali.

[Jammy89]

4 mins and 12 seconds.

7-1 on aggregate.

[Xamand]

And we're off - Tonali 1-0

And there I was a bout to say I expected this game to be tighter than the away leg

[Xamand]

And just as the replays end, we come back to the live game to see Joe bang it in the back of the net - 2-0
