OTF

There's definitely something to be said for Amanda Staveley and Mehrdad Ghodoussi (plus Reuben) bringing an accessible, familial image to the ownership, extending and fostering the same amongst the coaching staff and players. There's a synergy to all elements of the club currently that is translating to performances that bring results and grow belief allowing our player to reach or even potentially exceed their potential. There's nothing wrong with getting your hopes up in our current position, whereas only a year ago we were setting ourselves up for failure with any level of expectation. Totally agree that the sense of something bad coming is tough to shake after such a lengthy downward trajectory, but I honestly believe that our success (competing for Europe and domestic silverware) is only a matter of when rather than if.

If we had owners who were ambitious who knows what they will be thinking in January based on the massive progress and momentum that has been built in such a short time. We're surely far ahead of the schedule for progression.

Agree on Longstaff, apart from a few errant passes he was very assured and dynamic today. Botman and Schar were basically flawless though there was not much to test them in the first half and nothing in the second.

Disappointing to only score 4 in this TBH. How good is this.

Wood

Especially when they give him the arm band when he comes on.

It's like an exhibition match now.

Almiron's energy is amazing.

That's clearly what Eddie is thinking, I'm just being greedy.

Jacob Messi is destroying them.

Peak Barca there until Joe 1.0 made a return.

Murphy desperately unlucky with that shot, keeper was planted.

That should have been the match ball for Wilson.

I get this thinking, but a professional footballer player playing football shouldn't be considered a risk if they're supposedly fit.

Looked every one of his 46 years there.

ASM must still be a little off it for Eddie to bring on Murphy instead of him.

2:30 in the morning here and I'm screaming like I've won the lottery.

Absolutely has to be Premier League player of the Month now.

Hahhaha Love Miggy!!!!@@

They're petrified of Miggy, all doing their best not to be the one to mark him.

If there was one Brazilian to rule them all it would be big Joe. As I say that he earns himself a suspension for next week

Haha Willock, time for a rest, get Maxi on.

Emery has to be watching this, questioning his life choices and bemoaning his lack of testicular fortitude.

JoElinton!!!!!!

Despite the circus we keep marching onwards. Trips assist, Wilson goal. He has to go to Qatar.
