It's unfortunate that he's been thrown in a bit more in some games than ideal but 8 goals and five assists in about as many minutes you'd get in about dozen or so games and it hasn't worked? As a stop gap backup? haha, no wonder there's always discontent. We could do with another couple with those numbers, fuck how they are achieved.

90% of the time it doesn’t work and Llorente is horrific at holding it up but tonight he put in a near perfect target man display. Well played.

Surprise surprise when we play to his strengths rather than pretending he's Harry Kane, he's actually pretty decent. Absolutely changed the game tonight. Well done Nando

Without him tonight we don't go through. Without him against City, we don't go through.

Maybe he's a bit more important than I thought!

Horses for courses, football has always been the same, people these days and figures and pitch maps - it's a sport not an algebra equation.

He came up trumps again when we needed it. The beauty of this sport.

He was so shit in the first leg but so good when he came on tonight. His touch was the best I have ever seen it

Has having a target man worked? That is an emphatic yes. Bringing him on at half changed the game. Ajax had no answer for it.
