Arsenal (N) | League Cup Final | Post Match Thread

[youngbob]

Holding my hands up. I was dreading that game after the line-up dropped and the first 15 mins made me think "Yeah this is gonna be shit" but EVERYONE stood up. To a man. We outfought them. I can't believe what I've just seen us do.

I'll pay for the statue of Bernie myself

Great result but whoever had the idea to make our flags reds wants sacking tomorrow

Ake was immense but the uzbeki destroyer is becoming undroppable.

Captain Black will be gutted - let's see if they wobble in the League now :)

 

[BlueMerlin]

Very happy about this result. Nice to see us tear Arsenal apart. We were by far the best team today. Maybe Arsenal will crumble in the league now they realize they are shit.

He’s class Traff, was gonna name 25 people by name there whose come to see him play hahaha

 

[Coatigan]

Even IF we lose the bald genius, are we out of the FA Cup already???

Up to Maresca I guess ;).

 

[give it to gordon]

Trafford and O'Reilly come across very well

 

[MMA]

Such a nice kid Trafford

 

[Dazzle84]

What a game to put in our best performance of the season!!!

The sweet sweet carabao!

 

[Wretched Vengeance]

Fucking buzzing for all blues and everyone connected to the club.

However, doubly happy for the new lads who have a trophy in the bag. Cherki, Khush and the rest.

James Trafford take a bow, mate.

Guinness time :)

I fucking knew today would be our day. This Arsenal team have nothing about them. Up the fucking blues

Absolutely battered then 2nd half.

I'll hold my hand up and say I wasn't convinced with the lineup, but Ake and Bernie proved me well wrong (both of those I thought shouldn't have started).

Buzzing for O'Reilly, who can only gain confidence from being the main man in a cup final.

Arsenal are absolutely rubbish if you get at them. Trafford had a much easier day than I thought he would. Travesty that they are going to win the title. Just hoping this knocks them completely and they fuck up a few upcoming games.

I don't think we've had a good season, but we have a young squad, seeing the likes of Khusanov and Cherki becoming proper starters, and now we have a cup victory that goes a long way to showing what this squad can be capable of.

Come on Cityyy

Wonderful wonderful performance. Soaked up the pressure - great moment from Trafford, started to wrestle back control at the end of the first half - but that 10 minutes before the first goal was immense, we just kept coming at them and something had to give. Delighted for O'Reilly - what a 15 months he has had. But nobody shirked today, everyone played their part and showed they have it in them for the rest of the season

 

[The Light Was Yellow Sir]

There’s quite a few from the pre match thread who’ll be missing for a while, the melts…

 

[Ken92]

So happy we beat Legohead and his team. Some dreadful football they play. Keep it up guys and get one more title !

 

[Bluemoon115]

They just didn't have anything.

Peps tactic to not press the 1st line (GK and 2 CBs) was genius, and Arsenal seemed very confused.

I give Pep huge plaudits for this.

Cost them the game.

Had no idea how to beat our lack of press, and kept giving it to us in that 10 minute window, where we grabbed two goals.
