A 2-2 draw with PSG last night means our chances of finishing top of the group rely on Ludogorets getting something in Paris in a couple of weeks time.
Here are the on the whistle thoughts of @gunnerblog on last night’s result and performance.

I’ll be pretty gutted of Xhaka isn’t given a start against Bournemouth
*if
We could be playing Napoli/Benfica or Monaco. Considering we dont have a mental block against Juventus or Madrid, who know we might progress to the quarters
I understand Xhaka has disciplinary issues but we knew that when we signed him. He always looks forward and we’re missing that link between that Santi provides so nicely. I was surprised how much Ramsey doubled back last night, was hoping for more of a direct approach and linking with Ozil…I’d be tempted to start ox and walcott either side of Olivier vs Bournemouth and use Ollie as an impact sub late on as no doubt they’ll be backs against the wall.
*either side of Sanchez 😉 one ollie is enough…
