Konate and Virgil were brilliant. Must look at the goals again. I think we had become predictable with our shot selections lately but Nunez and Chiesa offered something different

Slot needs to learn how to make substitutions earlier in games.
Teams that play against us don't get out of their defensive shell until they go behind and have to chase the game, and I feel like if we had scored earlier in like the 60th minute or thereabouts, we'd have gone on to win this game 3 or even 4-0 with Brentford breaking away from their low-block to try and salvage it.
He shares this flaw with Klopp before him - with the waiting until the 80th-85th/88th minutes to make hail mary substitutions to change games that should have been changed earlier.
We can all relax a bit now and enjoy the rest of the weekend's games knowing we don't have to rely on other teams to do us favours like in weeks past.
MOTM : for me, there can be only one choice.....
Agent Chaos.
7 points clear after 21 games
8 if you counted Goal Difference
If you want to win the league these are the defining games . We deserved the win in the end but we never give up.
Konate with one of his monster performances today
Hopefully Mo going down the tunnel quick sharpish was just because he was upset with his own performance today.
Well done Darwin lad, you’ve really made all of our weekends a whole lot better.
I asked for him at half time for Diaz but up to him scoring his previous three or four touches were bloody awful.
We had Captain Chsos back at his best in that cameo, scored two but very lucky not to see red for a second yellow.
Mo Salah I’m afraid was terrible again and desperately needs resting.
Our consistently extremely slow build up and anxiety in front of goal in the last few games is worrying, we need to learn when to speed things up in the build up and learn to be more clinical and composed in front of goal…
In the last 10 mins we did just that, Great driving run and assist by Trent, and a very composed assist from Harvey has resulted in Nunez surprising everyone with 2 last minute very well taken goals…
We need more of this throughout the game, rather than putting everyone through the mill abd doing it at the death…
Brilliant result tbh… hopefully Villa can upset the applecart tonight and take some points off Arsenal… lets just sits back and keep everything crossed..
Oh yes well done Darwin, really pleased for you …can we kindly have more of that going forward please..
