Yeah, like they were his first games in charge.

Oh fuckin just enjoy it. Give me strength, we could have had 4 or 5 goals today....its been a famine for months and suddenly we get our end away and still people moan.

I did enjoy the result, obviously, but if you can't praise and criticise constructively then we will not get any better and we have to.

Cannot believe we are only 6 points off top. Makes me happy, but also so frustrated at the same time. Oh what could have been! Still everything to play for, simply because of how open this season is.

Nabil looked good. Very happy to see him! Am I the only one who is disappointed with Lloris? When we signed him, I honestly thought we had just signed one of the top 5 keepers in world football however some of the decisions he makes are awful. Certain choices like what he did at the Emirates were very good but most of the time he gets caught out and makes himself look like a very poor keeper. When he came out today to let Lambert score was awful and Walker gave him a right ear full, deservedly so. However, I am very happy with the win and was a better performance 2nd half. Adebayor looked great and I feel Soldado will get a goal very soon! Still need the centre backs sorting! Chirches gets caught out way too easily and I love Daws so much but he is scary to watch. Walker very good as usual. Onwards and upwards. COYS

I know what you mean about Lloris. He can be an absolutely superb keeper but recently he just seems to be trying to do too much and comes rushing out like a madman when there's no real need to. The second goal today was an obvious example and the penalty he gave away against Man U. He also needs to have the balls to catch the ball a bit more. I still think he's class though, he just needs to rein it in a little bit.

Great stuff today. Brave selection by Sherwood that really paid off. I just hope he's a horses for courses kind of guy because if we line up like that against the better sides we'll get hammered.

I'm not surprised, The defence has been shocking- today there was so much space behind them because of the high line and in front of them because of the lack of any defensive minded players-as well as that we had two attacking wing backs-Lloris is going to be so jumpy. As a unit the defence becomes better and more confident when everyone has confidence in the people around them.

Why is anyone even watching this lol???

The minute i saw the formation and line up I turned it off, you all know the deal by now lol. I guess I'm a terrible fan though? (in the same way a beaten wife that dobs to the police is a terrible wife ;) )

Ahh well some better football on later.

Yep, absolutely. You are 100% a terrible fan.

It's silly but I'm so happy after watching that. It was genuinely good entertainment and for that I could even have a forgiven an equaliser (not really!).

So it's looking like 4-4-2 then, that's 2 CM slots for Holtby, Eriksson, Sandro, Capoue, Paulinho, Dembele and now Bentelab. Great win today, bit more solidarity needed in defence, now let's get that home form sorted please Timmy.

Agree, we wont be able to line-up like that against the top teams. But it was a great way to get some confidence back in the team, I mean we shouldnt be fearing going to Southampton away.

He simply cannot play a 4-4-2 if he wants us to do anything this season, certainly not with wingers.
