    I hope people asking for Konsa to be moved to RB in place of Cash are at least doing so with a sense of irony (ref. the 7 million posts in the past few weeks asking for the exact opposite to happen). I actually thought we got more of a grip of the midfield as the game went on and ended up with a couple of decent chances - in particular Douglas Luiz’s. Let’s hope we can build on that in the second half. I reckon one goal now will settle this.

    I have so much enjoyed the mind-stretching and abstruse discussions here about coefficients and I came here today distraught that last night’s real world results have reduced the issue to irrelevant rubble. However, I am encouraged that we have now moved on to an exciting debate about probabilities, so this thread can go on helping me to study for my advanced maths A Level.

    Really people sometimes post such nonsense on here. Moussa Diaby rubbish? Rubbish!

    Excellent game today. Really strong when on the ball and did a lot to blunt Arsenal’s midfield efforts. Super distribution too. I think we probably have come to expect this of him now so he doesn’t come into contention for MOTM as much as he should..

    He is learning so quickly and obviously benefiting massively from having Emery as coach. One of they real bargains of the last transfer window.

    Been a North London-themed weekend.

    Yes, it was a good analysis, particularly about the tactic of keeping Watkins, Diaby, Zaniolo and Rogers in attacking positions while Arsenal were attacking.

    To be fair, it’s only an insult to herniated ones.

    Where did John McGinn go?
  10. briny_ear
    Damn right!

    I reckon even @TRO would approve of that! Excellent performances all over the pitch and perfect game management by Unai. It was particularly pleasing that we came out for the second half very very focused and took control of the game - none of that 45-60 minute wobble nonsense today! Every player was MOTM today but the bedrock of our success was the defending in the first half and Carlos was central to that so my vote goes to him. Now… what are the prospects of us catching up with Arsenal and Liverpool?

    OMG 8 minutes

    **** brilliant Bailey

    These Arsenal fans are a whiny shouty lot aren’t they. Don’t they enjoy watching their team?

    The irrational dislike of Zaniolo on this board never ceases to amaze me. He is clearly improving and having a really good match today
  16. briny_ear
    Funny, before the match I was mentally prepared for us to be outplayed and lose the match. But we are competing so well now that I will be really pissed off if Arsenal win this.

    Villa fans in good voice.

    So what if the ball had curled back into the net, as it might well have done? Would we have scored from a shoot that wasn’t on target?
  19. briny_ear
    He also needs a refresher course on where the technical area boundary is. A couple of times I thought he was going to tackle Zaniolo himself.
  20. briny_ear
    Very exciting game so far. A bit too exciting for me! So sorry that Watkins chance didn’t go in! Zaniolo and Rogers doing good. Carlos good in defence. Martinez = king of the world.

    Sometimes I’m not sure some people posting here have even passed that stage.
  23. briny_ear
    I think we should be apologising to you for playing at such antisocial hours for New Zealanders.
  24. briny_ear
    They’re playing those games at some pretty crazy times as well! I do miss the time when all matches started at 3pm on a Saturday afternoon.

    Try thinking instead of how good out felt while each of the 97 goals we have scored so far this season went into the opposition net.
