Yeah, if we try to sit on 1-0 we'll end up conceding, we need to keep attacking so that they can't commit too many men forward

I can't remember if it's been missed on here or not, but bar the result, we were by no means battered by City - last seasons champions no less 
We were pretty comfortable against them and I'd even go as far as to say that "luck" went against us on the night - that we were worth a draw. Spurs have played two of the worst teams in the league, plus a poxy Europa league tie.... I'm not saying they're to be taken for granted, but neither are they world beaters. Are they fuckk. Comfortable really ? How long did it take aguaro to score 27 seconds i think ! Id hate us to have been uncomfortable it could of been ten seconds Save your henny penny act for another day sixties, we barely got out of second gear this arvo and still contained / made the chickens look average - at their own place.

Great victory. I feel like we have goal threats all over the pitch, our full backs offer us a new dimension to our attacking play.

I almost forgot what it looks like to have good fullbacks. Mercy me, it's nice to have that again.

A lonely voice perhaps but I don't care- I thought it was far from a stellar performance against Spurs. Our defending was far too deep far too often and we were lucky not to get punished numerous times.
Lovren saved us from disaster more than once and they were in amongst the penalty area time and again. A quality striker partnering Ado would have run riot in there.
Second goal was a blatant dive and I just thought overall we were far from as prolific as most games last season. How can anyone say that we defended well when they were in the box time and again. Mignolet again had no command of his area and made up for this I guess with one Hollywood point blanker.
Scoreline was flattering and helped by the second knocking them a little. Did we deserve it? For sure, but there is a boat load of work on the training ground and in games to be done for me.

The first 6 / 8 games has a lot to do with luck - everyone is rusty and literally anyone can beat anyone, look at City and Arsenal this weekend. Form will come, I think there were enough positives to take away from yesterdays match to outweigh the negatives..

I agree DD but there are some talking on here like we put in some world beating performance FFS. I stand by what I say and expect us to improve (as you have highlighted) but for me we were far from all that yesterday, far from it.

Isn't it worth mentioning that we had a back four that had never played together?
