The benefit of having wide men who make sure they get in the box to gobble up rebounds and chances like that.
For my money all the best wide players score 6-7 goals like that each season just by working hard and taking a chance

Yes. That’ll do it. 50 for Lacazette. Another great through ball. This time from Partey.

That’s the ball strikers and wingers want.

How do you want it Lacazette, free hit on goal

That joke might be funny if I’d actually called him Helder.

And it wasn’t that funny the first time you said it.

But it was a great effort, and fair play he’s been a lot more busy and determined tonight.

And we nearly concede.
As I said the opposition have been very poor indeed, but we have done the necessary, so credit to the team for that.

Pépé has played well, I said before that Pépé plays well when he’s almost forced to match the tempo of the other forward players. Put Martinelli and Saka there and the tempo and workrate and pace were there and Pépé steps up to that.
Put slower players with him and he brings himself down to that level as well

Pépé has drifted in and out of the game, but created the second goal and has casued them some trouble tonight. I think he's become a pretty consistent threat this season, and I can't help but feel if his numbers would reflect that if he got to start more regularly.

Pépé laid it for Nketiah instead of shooting. Very unselfish of him :58big-emoticons:

Don’t get Arsey. Try and have a sense of humour.

Pépé is now Helder btw and you did say he was like him.

Very good performance tonight have to be happy with that despite the quality of the opposition. Perform like that on Thursday and we should overcome Prague.

Everyone played well but special shout out for Ceballos, Partey, Lacazette and the quite brilliant Saka. What a prospect.

Now that IS funny. :1laughter:

Yeah, I stand by what I said after the Slavia game - it's completely in our own hands. If we turn up with the right energy and perform well, they can't match us because the gap in quality is too big. Unfortunately that's a pretty big if for us this season.

Yep good offensive awareness from Martinelli on the goal. Makes the forward run on the turnover, makes sure he stays onside when Pépé hits the shot and gets a nice reward with a tap in. Good to see this guy back. A nice game from him tonight.

That’s been our problem for much of the season. We are actually much better than the teams we face, but for some reason (mainly lack of effort and confidence imo) we’ve had a really poor season.

I’m also Confident about Thursday.

He'd probably be world class if we played him as keeper too ...

But I just think we are overplaying him badly.

I agree we’re overplaying Saka. Could be the reason he got injured today.

Tierney out for the season?

Very interesting tactics and positions from the players today.
Seemed like a back 3 with only 1 wing back on the right side in chambers. Xhaka playing left CB and left back and Ceballos drifting over to that left side as well.
With Tierney out for the season it might be something we see more off, there is certainly something more comfortable with a natural left footed out there.
Partey was very good as well. He’s had some criticism recently, I’ve certainly expected more from him - I think the problem is we hold him to higher standards that the rest of our central midfield. With hindsight, even when he’s not at his best he’s still performing better than any other midfielder.

Delighted for Martinelli. He needs to start on that left side in Prague.

Saliba getting some good reviews in France. Exceptional stats for accurate passes and one of the lowest rates of any Cb in the league for being dribbled past.
We need him back with us next season, there is huge talent there. Saliba, Holding, Gabriel, Mari isn’t perfect but there is a balance and a decent set of CB to work with

A good win today. Had that been a loss, most likely a huge meltdown on here. Good we're going into Thursday on a positive mentality. It is a must win after all. :5encouragement:

I find the way some media outlets report certain things just odd and unnecessarily painting a picture that doesn’t give any context. I’ve read a lot of outlets shout in capital letters that it was Martinelli’s first goal for 15 months. Nothing in the headline that he was injured for 12 of those!

It’s the same when they churn out stats about team X not having won at team Y for numerous years without pointing out the two teams were mostly in different divisions for most of that time!
