Totally agree with this! The commentators were making out like it was a barrage of West Ham chances but I literally can’t think of a clear cut chance they created all game other than their goal. They had no creativity and we were very solid
I still felt like we comfortably defended most of what they threw at us. They caused us some problems with crosses from Doherty’s side but that was about it! Lloris made one outstanding save and any others were routine saves.
Next three games, are very winnable, but a lot more grinding will doubtless be needed ??
All WHU had against us was an arial fret which we couldn't handle. They were quite bland and had no out/ball with Antonio missing. Rice was oustanding and so was Lloris , overal we deserved thd win.
Which is a good thing if you think about it, it means we will get even better.
The only time they really had good quality chances were that 3 minute spell after we went 1-0 where they had 3 good chances at least. As well as the Bowen one on one snuffed out by Lloris. Second half though it was just a series of speculative shots as they couldn't find a way past our low block. I'd rather we played higher up, and has gone against us on occasion, but yes, they weren't exactly knocking on the door.
Its a football game anything can happen. And tbh Arsenal are playing pretty well right now, certainly better than Chelsea.
Thank god, with the away goals scrapped playing at home second is a colossal advantage!
They had plenty of rest after not having played for a week. We played Sunday in a fiery tough game against one of the best teams in the league, with players having had Covid. In what world are we blowing any PL team away regardless of what team they put out?
Palace next, seems they are at pretty much full strength, good we have three full days to recover
Should be able to put out a very strong team, fancy us to win.
Then Saints away who strangely enough just played Palace, and next West Ham
Theoretically a tough one for us, as they should be fresher, with no league cup game. But Saints team looks poor on paper. Much depends on their keeper situation.
We have a great chance of 100 per cent Xmas
Then even more weirdly, in fact it's positively incestuous by now, we then play Watfor, who will have just played West Ham, and then play Palace after us
All the players will have twelve fingers and three eyes after the festive period ?
PS I have nothing against twelve fingered three eyed people and apologies if any offence has been caused by this post
