There’s been a couple of times when Kolasinac has got in behind and just been too slow to get the ball across. Just bring Tierney on and we win this game

2-1 a brace of own goals. Willock makes it by making the off the ball run and forcing the pass

Molde score their third of the night. Fortunately two into their own net.

Nice of them to help us along again. The defender must have panicked having Kolasinac behind him. Ha ha.

We haven’t played well, obviously.

But we’ve still been better than them.

I wonder if Kolasinac has been affected by the Özil situation. They’re best mates.

Passes in the final 1/3rd
Ceballos 5
Xhaka 23

Strange to have Ceballos so deep

Ha, just told the wife we were playing a team called Mouldy. Her response, "You're mouldy." One upped me on the childishness there. You have to respect it.

A bit like the team that I know as Carrier Bag.

And many years ago England were tormented by a German player that I knew as rubber knickers.

Why do refs never see deliberately pushing a defender in to his on rushing GK as serious dangerous play?!

Willock 4-1 he deserves that

Missed an easier one moments before.

2 lovely passes from Elneny and Pépé for the goal

When Elneny came on my first thought was I hope he doesn’t get injured

Sana’a delivery from the left infinitely better than Kolasinac’s

8 2nd half subs and only 2 minutes added on. With added on time take whatever you think it should be and add at least 1 of the score is within 1 goal and take off at least 1 of the game is done and dusted

Thought we were better once Xhaka came off. Too many with a couldn’t care less mentality for a lot of this game. Saka pass to Pépé was my highlight for the night and closely followed by Pépé to Willock. Pépé only played for about 20 minutes and that is not good enough.

Willock good again. The question is how he breaks in to the premier league team? I’m not sure he can whilst we’re play the 3-4-3 with only 2 CM’s. But if we move to a 4-3-3 he’s probably the best we have at getting in the box and being a genius me goal and assist threat

Joe should play instead of Willian in the Prem.

The problem with NP19 is that he costs 72m. Don't think we can even sell him for 25m now.

Maybe it was asking too much of Willian to start consecutively against MU and Molde.

I think that we are still trying to find players who compliment each other. I thought Willian bought Bellerin a lot more into the game. When Pépé plays that front position there is no combination with Bellerin. I don’t know if Willock would work. No matter what I am struggling to put Pépé in my team.

Which is also true of Partey and Xhaka- I don’t think they will work together. In today’s game I thought Xhaka was poor. He played a number of square balls across our box to players who really weren’t in a better position. A square ball in this situation is low percentage gain IMO. Would look at selling him in January and spend the money on improving the squad.

Put that one to bed, now on to Villa. We need to impose ourselves against Villa, and put down a marker. Same team against MU would do nicely. No Xhaka please. Keep Elneny and Partey partnership on.

Just hope our number one keeper is a bit better in our next game. Even he knew he should have saved it.

I didn’t know it was you who picked the team.

At the end of the day we won 4-1. That’s a good result. Just because people don’t like or rate individual players they take any opportunity to have digs at them. What are people expecting? Presumably a bigger win than a three goal margin against a side who to me, didn’t look mugs? Perhaps we should all try and give at least a passing nod to being realistic?
