The last couple of years if we had gone down to 10 men, we would have just gone back to defending and forgotten about trying to win it. Completely different mindset now thanks to Ange!
Big win. Before kick off a draw would've been a bad result. No excuses we just had to find a way to win & we did. As you said we have to learn from this. Should have been a comfortable win & stupid from Bissouma, but to miss chances, have Son have a real off day, go down to 10 at nil nil & still get a win is very, very promisingMassive win... they way it happened. What a team and what a manager ... learn from this and we will be even stronger in the future. COYS
If Son got injured, i'd be really tempted to try Kulusevski up front with 2 of Johnson, Bryan and Solomon either side. And honestly, I even fancy Veliz as an option over Richarlison at the moment.
That post was flippancy on my part tbf and maybe I'm misremembering but I do believe we haven't yet seen a totally comfortable, dominant win. That's obviously due to adjusting to the new system, new manager, new players etc and we've had a tough couple of games, fully believe we'll get there eventually.It hasn't been every week? We comfortably beat United, Bournemouth and Burnley. We dominant over Sheffield United even if it took a last minute winner and same with Liverpool. Last minute or not we were comfortable without scoring.
Today was only difficult because we went down to ten. Prior to that we were by far the superior side and should have been out of sight.
Because the finishing lacked care, concentration and professionalism imo. Then we went into our shell a bit and made a few silly decisions later in the half.Why was the first half poor? We were cutting through them with such ease, we just couldn't finish. I don't see how that is "poor"?
POK saying Biss will still get another ban when he gets one more yellow. Is that true?
sigh - feels like this has been covered a dozen times.POK saying Biss will still get another ban when he gets one more yellow. Is that true?
Such a change to last season.Big balls from this team, came through adversity again.
FYP.Brilliant. Awesome.
we didn’t fold. We learnt tons today.
We’ll use this as an opportunity to learn to be more careful around yellow cards.
We’ll keep these memories next time we need a big defensive effort
we’ve learnt so much today.
Ange has so so much to work with from today. It’s much easier to address certain nuances in the game when they get so blatantly revealed, like today.
But the boys dug in, got the goal. Win the match
Top the league ⭐️
Richarlison scores his two chances, Porro too and that is a very comfortable game.That post was flippancy on my part tbf and maybe I'm misremembering but I do believe we haven't yet seen a totally comfortable, dominant win.

Just nice to be doing well and enjoying the games for the moment.
Well that didn’t work, ignore me, seemed like an amusing post at the time…FYP.
What an effort boys.
Romero and VDV colossal.
Sarr, Kulisevski and Porro unbelievable efoort and running.
