I really enjoyed Martinez turning into Ospina for last ten minutes. Fake injuries and time-wasting galore.
AMN is a really good utility player who has been fantastic under Arteta, despite supposedly having a bad attitude. Would be a shame to lose him, unless we get those inexplicable fees Liverpool get for pubbers who've barely played a senior game. £30m+ or keep him.
I'm still shocked that Sterling didn't get the pelanty and Mustafi wasn't sent off.
Just shows what we can do when the officials aren't against us, pity it's so rareOriginally Posted by Master Splinter
Incredible performance and a huge confidence boost.
AMN had a great game and nullified Mahrez.
Tierney is infinitely better than Kola in the back 3, confident on the ball and reads the game brilliantly.
Loads of positives going into next season, a cup win would be incredible.
Only saw the second half.
It was a really good disciplined performance which I didn't think we were capable of. If I have one minor criticism, and I do, it's that our ball retention was awful which put us under pressure but we soaked it up brilliantly which given the gulf in class was commendable.
Absolutely outstanding to a man.
What did she wear?!!
Refs won the game for Brighton and Spurs and got the point for Leicester. That doesn't absolve our mistakes in the Spuds game or our poor finishing, but in all those games the opposition were allowed back in because the refs absolutely refused to book players for repeated fouls and as usual, we were booked/sent off for our first infractions. Winks and Aurier alone could have had two red cards each.
The most amazing thing to me is the complete change in mentality. Everyone is pulling in the same direction, bar guendouzi and Ozil who have been left out completely. That brittleness we've had for so many years wasn't there. In it's place is determination, desire and focus. This isn't the best group of players, but what you can see is that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts - and that's Arteta and full credit to him. He just needs to be fully supported.
BBC has highlights on at 22:50.
Did you think we’d win today?
Well i said before the game we might pub it but we did better than that, but it's difficult to pull off that kind of backs-against-the-wall performance round after round
I'm not saying we can't win it but it just won't be easy
