Really good to see Welbz back.
Ferguson is a superb finisher, but in games like that you need someone to hold the ball up.
Welbz will offer us a lot more in that regard

Hinshelwood's touch and temperament get better every game, He's going to be some player.
Bart was, on the whole, excellent. Unfortunate that the game's crucial goal came from him passing the ball straight to them n the edge of the box. Hope he doesn't dwell too much on that, because he did far more (very) good than bad, in the match.
Similarly JPVH - hope he's not too gutted that Jesus' nod in, came from his poor header from the corner - had it not been for his own fabulous bit of alert defending to deny Odegaard (after Bart's poor pass, above), there wouldn't even have been a corner to defend.
He also seems to have a very handy knack of arriving onto crosses in the opposition's box.
Have to ask what he was trying to do when the corner came in though…….nowhere near it…..
It was a tricky one that - as a keeper, I hated corners like that. It was close enough to the goal, that it feels it should have been in his scope, but there were just too many bodies blocking him off. I can see why he found himself halfway towards it before stopping - all you can do in that situation is to recognise it as soon as possible and try to get back nearer your goal. Had he stayed 'home' it would have been a simple save.

More like Gross is specifically looking out for his illegitimate son (according to RDZ)

We only lost 0-2, when we probably should've been thrashed like Villa away.
Lewis Dunk was my MOTM...best player on the pitch overall, including the Arsenal players.

My big positive - Despite the Thameslink back to Three Bridges being cancelled the cross London route was still very efficient and made it back in good time to do Junior Giraffes's bedtime.
And Welbeck being back. And we didn't get hammered like at Villa.
And Dunk proving why he should play for England every game.

Yer man was standing right by the segregation line and doing a very loud running commentary in his inimitable style. I think eventually by half-time people decided some retaliation was in order for his ceaseless droning on so there were some funny chants directed his way along the lines of Neal Maupay making him cry. Saw even a few Arsenal having a chuckle
This doesn't sound like a positive.

Steele is better at passing/playing out, but Bart the better shot-stopper. Swings and roundabouts.

I suppose the big positive is that I also support Arsenal and they really needed the win.

We don't have to watch Arteta and his pampered bunch of crybabies again for a while?

Well Steele would absolutely have got stick for shot-stopping for how that second went in. It's a good thing that nobody bothers with that crap with a young keeper though
