Still buzzing about the result fucking brilliant even watched the highlights again on MOTD, my only concern is as a team like yesterday the need to be more clinical seeing as they almost snatched an undeserved draw.
But maybe I'm being a bit picky but today a very happy bunny I am and strange that gooner members of my family plus work friends have not made contact with me yet, can only assume something else has cropped up.:D

Makes me laugh that only a few weeks ago there were people on here claiming he should be put out to pasture!

They were calling him a flat track bully on Arse-Mania, just ignores the fact that he bossed Pogba/Matic, Can/Hendo/Milner and Little-Jack/Neny/Xaka three league games in a row. best CM in the league

I've had them saying the following: a cup is a cup whatever the value. This is after they used to say that the League Cup was a tinpot trophy, beneath their standing.

I posted the following after the Man Utd game and the same applies to Arsenal yesterday:

To be honest you can see in tonight's game why we have dropped points. This game should have been 4-0 or 5-0.
We were not clinical enough. Son needed to roll the ball across for Kane to tap in for example. We have missed those chances in drawn games.
Also, when Alli gets on the ball in the penalty area on the left and turns back and ends up playing a ball in the right mid it is too slow and predictable.
We are happy to beat United 2-0 but we could and should have hammered them.

Great performance from 1 to 11 yesterday. Utterly outclassed them in every area of the pitch. A special mention for Dembele who was imperious. Only negative was that we should have scored 4 or 5 and that Sanchez looked shaky at the death.

Credit to Pochettino for turning us around. Not that long ago we had just lost away to Leicester and had a similar points tally to that of Burnley and Watford, even Arsenal were laughing at us after overhauling us in the table.

We've been on a great run and are playing some great stuff. Let's keep it going!

Yep, we've really turned it on a bit just at the right time. Now we just really have to push on and continue against the so called 'lesser' teams. Really, we'll want to be winning our next 4 games. Starts with Crystal Palace away but a Palace team that should be missing Zaha still, then Huddersfield at home, followed by Bournemouth away and Newcastle at home.

Actually, our fixtures for the remainder of the season line up quite nicely. Following those 4 games we go to Stamford Bridge before facing Stoke away. Then we play Man City at Wembley but that's followed by another 4 games we'll be wanting to win to finish the season in Brighton away, Watford at home, West Brom away and Leicester at home in which you'd like to think would see us finishing the season strong.

Anyway, a lot of work to be done still. Because of the Arsenal game that had me on edge for days before and now still in jubilation from the win I'd almost forgotten we bought Moura! Right now that just seems like an incredible potential boost to a team that is already on a massive high.

I love this team, such a unity and all playing for each other, it would be a traversty if they didn’t win something together.

Tactical analysis of the match and it shows why Dier is so important.

Also, interesting to watch how we operate as a pressing unit once we lose possession in attack. Impressive! Lol at Miki around the 6:00 min mark completely unaware of Trips run, and totally oblivious to the space he needs to cover when tracking back. I'd be pissed if I were an Arse fan. Don't think he'd get in the Juve team somehow.

. Instead we now have the top four in our own hands again and the positivity from these performances should carry through.
.
No we dont. If Chelsea draw or lose tomorrow we will but until that happens it is out of our hands.
