Good match and nice change of tactics, would be even better if we had better fullbacks. Big mistake from them to start Pepe instead of Saka, he would run circles around our FBs. Credit to Mourinho and players.

Even if I didn’t hate Sol Campbell, I’d still say he is one of the very worst ‘experts’ around. He genuinely doesn’t give any insight into the game and says the most basic things when asked. He even struggles to complete the most basic cliches without flapping.

Great win considering how shit we were 3 days ago. Not great to watch second half until we scored. It just seemed like Lloris would boot it up there, they’d win it and attack us, then Lloris would get the ball again and boot it up and repeat repeat repeat. On the plus side you can see the defence getting better and better as a team over the last few weeks. Just need to sort out everywhere else on the pitch and we’ll be ok ?

Sol campbell likes to portray himself as this intellectual, philosopher of football. He can barely string a coherent sentence together!

First half was the furthest thing from a defensive display yet the complaints are flowing. We attacked properly as a team from different angles and it’s the first time we’ve played a half like that since the re

We slowed the pace down a lot in the second half and allowed Arsenal the possession.

That doesn’t mean we gave them control, that would only happen if we weren’t as defensively solid as we were. There were lapses and we will keep improving but the second half was very disciplined and I was impressed.

Derby win always gets my juices flowing.

You know what my pet hate is: we have possession then pass back to Lloris, who then hoofs it upfield and creates a 50/50 situation - we were in control, then we gamble ??‍♂️

How dare you talk about the ex London mayor England captain and world class manger like that.
Oh hold on that was all in his head ?
