Couldn't believe how quickly we got the ball back off Arsenal first half, and how we dominated possession. Then in the second half with less possession we opened them up a few times and never looked in much danger ourselves. Very exciting times to follow NUFC now, almost forgot what this was like after a decade or so of darkness. Amazing turnaround from Howe, staff and players. The most refreshing thing to see was the accuracy of passing on the break and the clear plans as to what to do and where to move. We're a fucking decent team now as a result Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

madras Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 Just in from the match and after quickly fast forwarding through the recording, we won, we dominated and the first thing they talk about is Arsenal. I've no doubt they lick our arses later (I saw that in the Strawberry) but come on, straight after the match, give the winners some credit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conjo Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 In Norwegian studio they pulled up an interesting stat that Arsenal has conceeded first away from home 7 times this season. All 7 games have been lost, with them scoring 0 goals. They are bottom of the table both home and away if you sort it by who has most points starting from a losing position together with Norwich. As good as we were, I think it's fair of the media to criticize Arsenal on that part - not just for this game in isolation, but there's clearly something with the culture and/or mentality of the team that they need to address.

woody Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 Honestly felt the game was secure after the first goal. It was Rafa-levels of trust in us seeing out the game. Can't wait to see the two Arsenal fans in the office tomorrow Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
woody Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 Also the first time I've heard Ando not sound suicidal while commenting on a game. If that's not a sign of optimism, I'm not sure what is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfcastle Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 Arsenal were poor but if were poor too or average that's just a horrible pointless 0-0 game, that might be nicked or not. Arsenal's poorness didn't provoke us to play like that, Longstaff's dink, Wilson's near wonder goal, ASM ripping through, Almiron and Krafth combining - wasn't because of Arteta's training this week but Howe's.

Ameritoon Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 I missed some of the second half to a meeting so just watched it back. The sky coverage is actually hilarious. Every reaction shot for a full minute after the whistle was Arteta or an Arsenal player or fan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, particularly in the first bit, and when he pulled up the possession stats (and wow were we spectacular). In the end the "larger story" for the neutral was how Arsenal screwed up top 4, so I get all that Arsenal bias. The key thing that baffles me, especially if I were the owners, is how do we strengthen this side? When they are clicking, and with Wilson on fire, I can't see any of this first-string being droppable. At most I can see the need for a top-class right forward to replace Almiron. World-class defenders, CMs and strikers won't be happy to come here to be rotated, and getting a bairn like Ekitike to cover for when Wilson gets his inevitable layoff won't result in the same number of goals a fully-fit Wilson can provide. Just need that little something to address the dickings we got from Man City and Spurs and we are well on the way to a great 2022-23 season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as I agree with the sentiment that it's difficult to drop some of these players. I do think there is a essence of rose-tinted spectacles with your comments. No matter how well they've done tonight and in the past few weeks Longstaff, Burn, Schar, Dubravka and Almiron are the first 5 that spring to mind that definitely require replacing. I know alot won't agree with me but we do need a new starting CB, CM, GK and RW as minimum. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
