Three points and much needed. A clean sheet with Guehi slotting in nicely it sounded. Another goal for Semenyo and Marmoush off the mark as well
Would have taken this at 8am

Haaland not touched it yey with a minute to go. You can argue all you like about us not finding him with a pass but he hasn't tackled or got near the fucking ball. he's a dead weight. Nunes after a great cross for the ball, it turned out that's all he did. Skinned a few times by kidand forced to foul in dangerous areas.
poor second half from us , same old shit. Foden didn't do much . Haaland didn't do anything , literally din't do anything whatsover. Marmoush showed him what hard effort can produce

3 points i suppose.,
Flat of a win as you will ever watch.
Pep over celebrated our second goal like a Man who knows we are not going to get much in the next couple of Premier League games against Spurs and Liverpool. So this win against a relegated side will look a bit better sandwiched between LL

Very slow over the first couple of yards, never got close to anything, got closer to the defenders when we had the ball. Just a big lanky lazy twat on a long contract.
Saved him for Turks and he'll do less against them. They'll have him in their back pockets

To put a bit of context, Arsenal (“best team in the world”) only beat Wolves 2-1 with the winner scored in the fourth minute of added time

I wonder what a midfield of
Beagrie- Flitcroft - Lomas - Summerbee
Could provide for Haaland & Walsh

I still think Haaland has spat his dummy out about the way we started playing, remember that headed Cherki assist at home vs ? When Cherki was celebrating 5 seconds before it went in. Where is that team now? Where are those tactics and players?

Don't get the Marmoush love in. They gave him MOTM at thw stadium, for me all he did after his goal was run into trouble and lose the ball.
Cherki poor as well. Semenyo is a gem, great goal and what a shot that smashed the woodwork. Guehi absolute quality. Loved Donna going crazy with his block late on.
Another great Nunes assist as well

One of the shittiest halves of football I have seen for a while ...and there has been stiff competition this season.
Dreadful performance against the worst team in the prem.

Agree with all that. Nunes did well. Id add all Bern does now is kick off with players.

Pep has gone in on the ref and Webb. Fair play

I like the fact he doesn't shy away from a fight but fuck me..how he didn't give away a penalty for wrestling in the box is beyond me!

That lad Nunes is making it harder and harder to give my blind support.
Nico O'Reilly best defensive performance from him so far. Still some kid errors but overall decent.
I still think we need a proper fullback and I don't care if it's right or left but we can't accommodate two attacking midfielders in those positions. I do wonder if Livramento wasn't injured if we'd have him instead of Guehi.
Speaking of which, WHAT A DEBUT. Looks like he's been with us for two years, I watched about 4 hours of analysis on him and they never highlighted the guy has a great range of passing.
