Just imagine if whichever right-sided player could actually hit some form alongside Kane and Son! ??

We were not playing like this until the West Ham game and really until the City game

I think / hope we will get more expansive and less functional once we get through this difficult run

in the mean time enjoying 7 points against our closest rivals

scum can enjoy their 70% possession.

I was called out a bloody emergency before the game.

How was the taking the knee received by our supporters?

Did Lloris have any real threat on.our goal?

What a heartwarming, tubthumping victory.

I think the lopsided possession today reflected the narrative of the game.

Early goal so it’s natural to want to protect that and invite them on to hit on the break, then another goal before half time. It was crucial not to concede in the first 15 minutes of the second half so I can understand playing cautiously in that period.

What I would have liked to have seen is us start to take control of the game after the 60th minute, once Arsenal had tired themselves out a bit. To be fair to them they worked very hard and played well in midfield. But we could and should have done better. I don’t think Gio was on his game today - maybe with Tanguy it would have looked a little different.

Ecstatic about today's result and where we are currently in the table. I am just slightly concerned whether this style of play is sustainable especially against teams that like to park the bus.Don't want to get carried away. Hopefully better things to come , COYS!!!

The players look happy and settled into the game plan we get in front then we seem to have the confidence to see games out.
Only one goal conceded in five games including two big London derbies and against city is impressive stuff, congratulations to the team and management plus the small section of fan's in there today.

What are the commentators going to say if we smash Liverpool in a couple of weeks whilst playing beautiful football.

They knock us because we bottle it and can't beat 'big' teams, we stop bottling it and start beating 'big' teams (and Arsenal) and they say we are boring - make your minds up.

Personally, I fucking loved that, best goal difference in the league, top of the league and no goals against v City, Arsenal and Chelsea

What more do you want?

Pretty much my thoughts, SB had a fantastic game defensively, but in an attacking sense he was average at best.
