        Would’ve absolutely loved that to put us ahead of City on GD (for the moment).

        Still the best Egyptian in the league, regardless.

      I think our subs did well to keep moving the ball around and have some attacking threat.

      Didn’t need to do much else except keep a clean sheet.

    Great win, a statement win. What I’m actually glad is we didn’t take our foot off the gas, we tend to have that issue and that Liverpool win I think injected so much more confidence and ruthlessness in the team.

    Yeah and we’ll fucking celebrate this shit.

      100% agreed. I don’t mind just keeping possession and rotating the ball. But, one slip and then you’re on the back foot and inviting pressure which can swing momentum

        And I’m quite pleased Nwaneri held his own, no wonder they gave him the armband in training. We got something special cooking with this boy.

          Knew he could do it ever since watching that Nürnberg pre-season game tbh, looked great against what is honestly a respectable level opposition.

          Curious to see him develop more and he’s still only 16 (for the next month or so)! With the way he composed himself could easily have been 18 or older…

      Appreciate that Arteta put Elneny on with Nketiah and Nelson instead of with Cedric. Honestly not opposed to extending his contract, very loyal servant and good dressing room presence who can be just slotted in if Jorginho has injuries.

    I was at my neices birthday and would duck out every ten minutes or so to check the score. I somehow managed to miss every single goal. Gutted.
