    He got booked last night and was previously booked in Belfast. I'm not sure of the rules at this stage and when the slate is wiped clean, but a few seemed to think he'd be suspended.

    To be perfectly honest, if he's eligible next week and a further booking would rule him out of the first group game, I'd be resting him.

    I think they started very well ,they are a decent team to be fair.
    We done a professional job the first half and moved up a few gears the 2nd by which time they were all over the place.

    Damnit. I'd think we've done enough though and, if Roberts was waiting to see if we qualified, then he should be on his way soon. Cheers, lads

    Out of general interest, does anyone know what are the updated odds on Astana to qualify?

    Surely astronomical? :fear:

    Legia Warsaw will have seen the result and be glad they never got a chance at revenge.

    Didn't know Martin Tyler commentated on our game as well last night, anyone got highlights of his commentary of our game from last night? Always enjoy hearing different commentators commentate on our games/goals etc?

    Still can't quite believe that result to be honest. Before the game I was nervous and wanted a 2-0 and was preparing for a behind the couch job like Beer Sheva last year and even then I thought I was being greedy.
    Before the second half I was thinking lets get some more goals and make it comfortable for ourselves next week but was also worried they might score and we could even end up with another Malmo on our hands.
    They completely crumbled in the second half and we went for the jugular.
    Thought they looked a decent team in the first half but in the second half it was basically like a league game for us.
    Thought Bitton,Lustig and Forrest were really good last night but the whole team played well. Ntcham looks a class act.

    Re-watching the game now. It is astounding just how much my perception of the game changes when my emotions aren't at fever pitch.

    What's your thoughts rewatching, I know we won 5-0 and I'm over the moon but I thought we played rubbish first 60mins not that they were better by any means. And then we played well after they crumbled the last 30 mins

    That's true, I was more nervous when we went 3-0 up than at any point, was dreading an away goal..

    It's was unbelievable night and Astana got their tactics totally wrong, they kept pressing for an away goal and we could have actually scored more..

    I've noticed re-watching games back under Rodgers they never seem as frantic. Even the qualifiers last year when you watch it back we have a level of control you don't grasp in real time.

    I think we're all just pre-programmed now to think there's going to be periods of * ups and pressure which, in reality, are becoming less and less.
