Arsenal played very well but we showed fantastic tenacity and mental strength to hang in there and win it.

In recent seasons we would have crumbled and probably lost that game by a hefty margin.

ETH takes all the credit.

 

[Red Rash]

You'd have to go back a long, long time to find a win that felt this good.

Liverpool a few weeks ago?

 

[Tincanalley]

Bruno-Eriksen. The key to our win.

True. Plus Antony, plus Rashford

 

[SirAnderson]

Oh man, games can't come sooner now. I haven't had such a pleasurable football Sunday evening in ages!

 

[avgp_1]

Eriksen what a player. His passing through the lines is what we've been missing

 

[cyberman]

Arsenal win 5 in a row after playing nobody, look how great they are
We have now won 4 in a row after beating Arsenal and Liverpool, let’s see how that’s received

 

[LInkash]

Non-negative goal difference woo

 

[calodo2003]

Haven’t heard Keano that positively fired up in a long while.

 

[Siorac]

All due respect to Rashford (two goals and an assist, hard to argue with that!), this game was won by a couple of amazing passes by Bruno and above all, Eriksen.

It's really concerning how hard we found to get any sort of foothold in midfield for a good hour or so. The defence held firm under immense pressure and that's a good thing but we really need to improve massively in terms of controlling a game. Arsenal found it way too easy to play through us for long periods.

And in light of that, the Casemiro situation is a bit baffling though admittedly he wasn't great after coming on - but McTominay was fading badly and needed help earlier. On the bright side, we have massive counter-attacking potential when Eriksen and Bruno both get their passing right which they definitely did.

Lovely debut goal from Antony and a couple of nice touches but he'll shine more once we have a bit more midfield control.

Arsenal the better team but we won

haha

Same old Arsenal is all I seen. Playing some fancy flicks and tricks doesn't win you big games. Strong mentality does.

 

[matherto]

Lovely stuff.

We've got a team of fighters for the first time in god knows how long

 

[Jazz]

I am so proud of everyone. Did not expect a 3-1 win. Super happy

 

[Judge Red]

Four wins in a row with two of them being against Liverpool and Arsenal. There have been many false dawns but not like this. Not with players who look like a team.

But still plenty of work to be done.

 

[Ralph1386]

We may have finally found our new manager.

 

[Tincanalley]

I missed it because my other half had arranged a pissing dog walk with her friends that apparently I was required at. Ffs

Oh no. Best display in years

 

[Superunknown]

McTominay and Eriksen played very well. There were large portions of the match where Arsenal had more of the ball and kept us very deep, but I generally thought we made the most out of the chances we created. Dare I say it, we were clinical.

Delighted with Antony and Rashford for getting their goals, for different reasons. Rashford should take loads of confidence from this game.

 

[cyril C]

Casemiro needs to go and run 13.8km

He is clearly not ready. Glad that TH didn't start him, may be using the Europa game to give him 90min

 

[Buchan]

Very positive signs today for us against a team who are a year or two ahead of us in their development. Definitely seeing signs of the work on the training ground coming out on the pitch and you’d imagine there’s plenty more to come. Very satisfying win. Get in!

 

[podurban2]

What a player we have in Erikson. I will relish every match he plays for us.
Same goes for Antony.

Haven't been this happy and enjoy watching some of our players as I have like this in ages.

Eriksen* as someone named SirAnderson should know..

 

[Skills]

ETH takes all the credit.

*last season

We won this type of game many times the season before

 

[GDaly95]

Liverpool a few weeks ago?

Nowhere near for me.

There's something about Arsenal, and the fact that they were unbeaten going into this and they showed up unlike Liverpool.

 

[mancan92]

People need to big up the defence they were playing against a very potent attack with half the match having no midfield as support. Yes arsenal scored but the defence was awesome

 

[lex talionis]

Several candidates for MOTM, but I went with Rashford. Fantastic finishing. The match winner plus one for insurance.

 

[SirAnderson]

Liverpool a few weeks ago?

While I will also LOVE a win against Liverpool. This one felt very different.

That one could have been down to a fluke result maybe. Then we had those 1-0 close shaves, and this has just given us a different feeling about what our season can really look like if all our players buy in to EtH's football.

 

[troylocker]

Great result! Hopefully that wasn’t a muscle injury on Rashford. 4 wins in a row now without really clicking into gear is a healthy sign.

 

[crossy1686]

Haven’t heard Keano that post tovely fired up in a long while.

He loves putting one over arsenal

 

[sepulturite]

Always good to give the arse a licking

 

[DomesticTadpole]

So happy. The confidence is building, the results are coming. Arsenal.

 

[RuudTom83]

ETH is the boss!

Start believing it!

 

[Cloud7]

After Liverpool there's no team in world football I love beating more than Arsenal. So so happy today

 

[Tarrou]

Maguire managed to be the worst player on the pitch in a few minutes.

there was a moment when he tried to join in with the new fist-pumping/chest-bumping thing but nobody really reciprocated, bless

 

[amolbhatia50k]

feck Arsenal and their hype train.

Absolutely over the moon with that. We are a work in progress but you cant help but feel proud of the players. They weren't all having a good day but they reacted brilliantly to adversity (better than their opponents). Loved it.

 

[Amanda Hugginkiss]

Feel good factors back. I'm concerned that I'm happy.

 

[Raoul]

He is clearly not ready. Glad that TH didn't start him, may be using the Europa game to give him 90min

Indeed. You'd think the armchair experts in the matchday thread would allow ETH to make the right call on Casemiro. Once again the manager was right.

 

[Vapor trail]

Great result multitude of goals, Ronaldo factor fading but the newer recruits offering great contributions

 

[SirAnderson]

Eriksen* as someone named SirAnderson should know..

Yeah that was pure excitement there, my brain was already typing the next post

 

[charlenefan]

Love beating the Arsenal

A little concerning how they were the better side for long periods but I'll put that down to us still not being able to field what will be our best XI

 

[Robbie Boy]

Absolutely massive win

Yup. Was going to be massive for which ever side won it today!

What a great afternoon. Two cracking games of football.

 

[Glideman]

What a game! We rode our luck at times but the mentality was great and we deserved the win!! Glazers out as always

 

[ShinjiNinja26]

GET IN!!!!!

Well done lads.
