Loads of mistakes, but generally contained Arsenal reasonably well. They’ve had the best (only) chances really, apart from Enciso from Mitoma’s cutback.

We are causing ourselves problems and not reaping the benefits of playing out from the back. All of our dangerous attacks have come from not doing this, with balls over the top and winning the midfield duels.

We need to go to plan B, much more direct in the second half for me Clive. Managing the game and circumstances thereof aren’t abandoning your principles, it’s doing what it takes to get a result and achieve European qualification for the first time in our history.

MIX. IT. UP.
❤️❤️❤️❤️ they only went and did it too!!!

I've been out in my garden here in France since the end of the first half as I couldn't cope with the tension of it all. My neighbour has just greeted me with news....3-0. Unbelievable....ecstatic isn't even close.....!!!!!!

59 years I have been supporting the Albion through thick and thin. WHAT A F*****G Season this is......

Trossard may be an Arsenal shirt, but he knows where he belongs.

Helped us with the second goal, thank you very much! And a honourable mention to White who also helped us.
Secret agent Trossard.

It's not negative ..
I'm not saying he was dreadful and should had been booed off FFS, I'm saying he gave the ball away plenty of times. One at the end actually which lead to a counter.
It was a bit tbh - in the first half both teams were guilting of loosing possession with some careless passing - including Cowill, Mitoma and Gilmour but all played an excellent game overall.

I just don’t think it’s particularly clever to be down on any player after a win like that - no, none of them are perfect and no player plays consistently well over the season as we know but we win as a team and all players played their part today. We would have been much weaker in MF without Mackie and that’s the point.


And Arsenal were also playing in Blue today so that confuses the issue 😂

Quite a few people wiser and altogether less bedwetty than I pointed out that we should expect the occasional aberration such as last week as a consequence of the way we play.

Gawd bless 'em!
Yep. As per my thread after the Everton game. :thumbsup:
