Reaction from the forum:
Moviegooner: “I’ll say it again, how underrated Gabriel is. We’re blessed with him and Saliba. Defensively solid as a rock. Very important for Martinelli to score. Will do wonders for his confidence.
Scoring five goals. Looking great going forward. Let’s keep it up!”
blaze_of_glory: “Very nice to get a comfortable win. Big scoreline is good psychologically after the past month as well.
Really want to see ESR start at LCM now, think just him being quicker carrying the ball in transition is an improvement over Havertz in that role.”
SA Gunner: “Yes, we’ve played better than this and lost. West Ham and Liverpool come to mind.
But, what matters most is the importance of control and incisiveness. We saw both on display today, and this is what I mean when I talk about what it takes to be a complete team.”
