One that needed several minutes of review because it seemed blatantly offside, with a clear foul in the build up The other a fluke OG The kind of result that Arsenal somehow get week after week after week. their goal was pure lucky I appreciate the team effort.

I’ll take squeaky wins for the remainder of the season if it means we grab top 4 and CL football next season.

He stretched his right leg to pick up the pass from Neto in a nice exchange between the two, then dropped to the ground. Looked OK after that, but perhaps he wasn't 100% anymore. bigbluewillie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad we're starting to get some. I don't know how we get to Arsenal's level of just repeatedly robbing people in broad daylight but I'm here for it if we can manage it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robsblubot 3,595 Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Thought the first goal was the result of attacking pressure, but yeah the second was pure luck. Their goal was a giveway tho, so it's not like they deserved anything better. Potter back from (Chelsea FC sponsored early) retirement and then relegates WHU?! That'd be fun to watch... 😆 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last thing we really need. It could have been a blessing in disguise for him. I guess we'll find out the full extent tomorrow. robsblubot 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is what we said in December before the favourable fixture list and we failed miserably. I can’t trust these players just yet. I wish it was the way you wrote though.

A good team does not even need to be in particular good for, e.g. City, because the help with provide (aka errors) is enough for good players to capitalize on. For example, was it really surprising that Haaland scored from that Sanchez brain fart? Would a lesser striker score that goal too? I doubt it. Actually Halland had an amazing game against us; he came alive in the second half, unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His defensive work starting with that high press was always interesting. I get why people may find that boring, but it can be especially effective against the strongest sides.

Don't think they are mutually exclusive. It did not work so well against poor-form City. Jackson plays a big part in our game plan away from home -- he makes really great runs and plays well in counters. Without him, things might get more interesting. I really hope Filip is at least better than Sanchez, but honestly, I don't feel anything at the moment. It's way too soon considering where, against who, and how often each played.
