Thankfully there's only one statistic that counts

How did we win that one?

Really harsh on Masuaku tonight, he didn't do much wrong and won plenty of good tackles.

The less said about Calamity Issa the better.

Viera was a disgrace in the dugout and at the end. He should get a ban or something. He was on the pitch at one stage!

I'm no fan of his but give it a rest with Keep calling him Gobber.

Good 3 points to get
Agree mate not many teams have beaten them there and certainly not without their two first choice centre backs.

A new centre half is the number one priority. Diop is an absolute disgrace of a defender.

Christ Diop was shocking towards the end. If that game doesn’t emphasise our need for a new centre back in January then I don’t know what does.

I think we tried to slow the game down in the second half and let them have the ball but it was a very risky tactic with Diop and Dawson. We should of pressed for more goals and Lanzini might have got a hat-trick.

Very nervy last few minutes.

We are better off 2 nil up at half time than 3.

Once it's 3 teams just go for it and we can't take the pressure. Leicester arsenal wolves palace.

It’s incredible how one bad player can drag the whole team down with him… Issa Dionkey.
Get Alese in next to Dawson and I am convinced we would look a lot better, new CB in the transfer window has to be ultra high priority ASAP

Genuinely not - I thought he was great as usual today, and we didn't seem as dependent on him as we sometimes do.

But, seriously, if you were him wouldn't you be just a little, um, irritated by our defence?

He's a fanny,

The back pass, why's he not behind Dawson covering?

The tackle on Ayew, utterly pointless

The inability to jump.

If anyones daft enough to want him just get rid.

I dunno about that. We kept a very offensive lineup until replacing Lanzini for Noble. Part of it is the players have to pace themselves with so much football.

Thank god we were clinical in the first half.

Arthur was fine tonight but does anyone still seriously believe Zouma and Diop could be our CB pairing for years to come? Overall he was not awful tonight but as usual his idiotic mistakes let him and us down again. All he had to do was stand the player up, zero reason for that challenge.

He is 25 now, he simply has not learnt.
