What are your thoughts going into Sunday’s game, which is probably the biggest game of the season so far? A feeling of impending doom.

That Benfica game wasn’t that entertaining was it? A bit like that game against Spurs, or the draw at Liverpool or the defeat to Huddersfield. But we got the three points, that’s us effectively qualified, isn’t it? That’s all that matters, those three points. All that matters is the three points. Is it though? Is … Read more
