Post-match views from the forum:
Blood on the Tracks: “Get in! A well-deserved win.
The title race is back on.
We’ve got to follow this great result up though, no more dropping silly points against weaker sides.”
Bagels: “Massive performance, as comprehensive of a victory as you can get. Made them look like they don’t belong to be considered our rivals.
Full credit to Arteta for the way he set us up perfectly, and full credit to all the players who were up for it from the get-go to the very end. Awesome stuff.”
fute: “The better team won today.
Our defensive effort was excellent. Everyone on the pitch.
Our dumb mistake was outclassed by the likes of VVD and Allison, so they both cancelled each other out.
No more Havertz in the midfield. Jorginho is the glue with his intelligence and veteran presence.
When we play in the open space and teams don’t park the bus against us, we are tough to beat.
Great win today. Let’s build upon this.”
