Not a bad win with without Kosh, Mustafi, Ramsey, Ozil and Sanchez to be honest. It looked even more bleak when Per had to come off and we had a makeshift back 3.
Sead is a tank, love him, great headed goal. He also made some good marauding runs too lol.
Still can’t get over Courtois’ penalty
Only a friendly but nice to get off to a good start!
Pleased to win the Shield if only because Chelsea ballsed it up. Alexa had a good opportunity at goal denied only by the post. Can’t wait to see more of him. Holding was solid enough at the back again.
They put the line-up out to win it, working off a smaller squad than ours, I’d say Wenger undervalued it more than Conte and we still did them, so a good day’s work.
I still don’t care much about it, for me the sweetest part of it is that 9 match winning run at Wembley that makes it feel like ‘our’ ground when we come to play there in important games like the FA Cup
Chelsea took this game seriously and I’m not having people diminish the significance of us beating them with comments about what the manager wore or who the order of their penalty kick takes are, especially when he has historically been a good taker of penalties.
You have been doing your best to downplay the match so don’t be surprised when it’s contested.
Yeah cause whoever was playing on that side before him made an impact? As soon as he came in he got into amazing positions and we rattled off a bumch of good scoring chances.
Do wonder a bit if Conte’s handling of Costa could cost them some points this season. I am a big fan of Morata, but he might struggle to adjust and that could be decisive.
Anyone else think that Bellerin has fallen completely off??? Dear me some of his passing and decision-making was awful today and it seems like this is continuation of really worrying trend…
