Woah I’ve seen two away wins out of 3 this season - already ahead of my record of 1 in 9 last 🤣

That was so, so good.

We won't set up like that very often, but to know we can do it is huge. Chalk and cheese when compared to the Chelsea debacle. That's a manager with a Plan B.

Really impressed by Igor - he's taken a bit of shit but that was a very good performance, he's not a left back but can obviously do a job as a left sided CB. Veltman was Veltman, Ferdi looked much more solid and was helped massively by Hinsh and Ayari. Dunk and Verbruggen played to the levels we know they are capable of.

Hopefully we get some good news on Danny to cap off a brilliant day!

Convinced that the way we set up and played deep and narrow was the players’ influence. It was so different

Eh? You think the manager said 'You know the drill boys, high-line, beat then 3-2' and the players all said 'no, we'll do it our way'?

If so, that's Fab's last game in charge.

Amazing how we looked more of an attacking threat at the tail end with every defender in our team on the pitch.

Fantastic win!
They were pushing so many up ……. We should have put the game to bed before the end with chanc s for Ferdi, Weiffer and Mitoma 🤣

I think they talk to each other and he’s not afraid to listen.
Which in my book is the sign of a good manager

I'm sure he listens, but it's not like he didn't notice the high-line was causing issues (not that we won't still use it sometimes) and to change the tactics that much on the say of the players would mean they don't have faith in how he's managing them.

There's a difference between listening and completely changing everything.
