    They really struggle against teams that park the bus!

    We should have had 2 penalties. They ought to have had 1 too for Lloris taking the man out and missing the ball.

    Son was poor but he redeemed himself with the free kick. Moura and Kane were poor. Too many missed opportunities.

    Ultimately, I'm past caring because we got the 3 points. Only 2 behind arsenal with 2 games in hand.

    I think he gets it. **** touches it and then it changes direction again.
    Think he might've been offside too, but I'd have to see it from a better angle.

    His dad's a former footballer that got locked up for accessory to murder.
    He got out and then threatened people with a firearm! <laugh>

    Good player, but there's quite a bit of baggage there.

    Agreed. Said the same after he didn't bring him on against Soton's 10 men on Tues. Put out a clear call to action around a month ago, lauding Tanguy's talent and ability but challenging him to be more of a team player (which involves giving a toss about the fate of your team, not just when and where you pass the ball). Looks like the player hasn't responded at all to that challenge, unsurprisingly.

    What a start to 2022 though, eh?

    We score a stoppage time winner and Arsenal concede one.

    Start as you mean to go on, please.

    Highlights:


    Leaves out the Watford penalty claim, but features both of ours. That's... different.

    It should be mentioned we have kept 5 clean sheets in 8 games with the same group of defenders who couldn't buy a clean sheet in Home Sense for most of last and the beginning of this season.

    The forward play needs a huge amount of work, no question, but it has been a hell of a long time since we were hard to beat.

    But big tests coming up with 3 games against Chelsea and 1 against Arsenal. Not forgetting Morecombe in between.

    We look a lot like early-days Poch. Great if a team comes out against us but can struggle a bit to break down a low block. Ultimately the solution is the same - more creativity in central midfield and getting the players moving themselves and the ball faster and more intelligently. Part of that is coaching but we clearly need additions too.

    There is no "pen" in penalty box Judo.

    Judges verdict : yellow wins - Ippon.
