You have to remember that some people on here only say things for a reaction. They havent seen too many people over lockdown.
26 shots, 9 on target, so obviously we can and did. Their GK MOTM by a country mile; he's single handedly won them two points tonight.

People can criticise the finishing, perhaps with some justification, but their keeper was and is class - and the FOOTBALL is remarkable. 1 goal conceded against Liverpool / Spurs / Villa amongst other big tests - in six games! I’m sorry, I’m not gonna put up with negativity tonight - we should be bloody proud lads and lasses!!!!

You didn't watch the game then?
Trossard played well, his passing was good, link up play, movement spot on, only thing that let him down was finishing but he forced a couple of saves.
Maupay on the other hand was shit again. About time he was dropped.
It's amazing how often all these good teams look really poor against us. It's almost like we are tactically better than them. I wish these commentators would give us some credit.

We were the better team by a mile and their keeper made some good saves.
People need to appreciate how far we have come since November/ December.
Our defence looks good, our midfield looks good we need to just get the ball forward quicker and crisper.
Also Potter needed to make that substitution 10 mins earlier.
What ever people say about Maupay's finishing his contribution by harrying the defence is immense.
the team look a LOT fitter....

Well if that was really the case, Trossard should be very unhappy with his performance, because Maupay won that contest by a country mile.
Obviously a "top" striker would be nice but it's not like Neal missed loads of great chances tonight. We need to improve with our final ball and we'll score more with our existing forwards.

Whilst I agree wholeheartedly, this post has made my poor Grammar Nazi's eyes bleed.

Yep - I’ve been a little critical of Tross before but that was an exemplary performance. I think he lost it once! And often had 2-3 on him. Outperformed Grealish tonight which is brilliant.

Défense solid despite being without Webster. Biss and Mac good. Gross looked very tired 2nd half and I thought Lallana might come on for him. Maupay frustrating. Tross inventive. We are missing March, balance looks a bit one sided
