He’s becoming the best ref in the league Hopper. Always pleased when we have him.

He's the dead spit of a mate of mine... He's been good in the last two matches he's reffed us...

All things considered, I think that was a very good performance and obviously an excellent result.

Not sure you can ask for more than three points, away from home, against a decent team, to heap more pressure on Arsenal, with an few players rested, after the energy Wednesday would have drained from the lads.

Special note to Alvarez, who could turn out to be as big a steal as Haaland.

well done, we needed a win away from home to a top10 team and thats what we delivered. no complaints at all.
well apart from Mahrez display and some uncomfortable moments at the back.
but good pen and great Alvarez strike. then the two subs helped to regain some possession.

over to you Lampard on Tuesday. time to nick at least 1 fucking point for Lampard. 5 games, 5 losses for him since he came back, when to break that if not next game .
:)

bit more pressure n Arteta after today, lets see if they can react with a win to the masterclass we did vs them few days ago.

If (and it’s a big if) Chelsea score first. Arsenal will implode.

We struggled with the worlds slowest pitch which left us passing too short or misjudging it. Nervy from Ed and Haaland strangely didn’t look like he was enjoying himself all game. Might have had a massive barny wi’ missus? Gundo MOTM for me.

Only watched last 30 mins but we looked a bit sloppy and casual. Funnily enough, I thought Gundo was the worst offender - haha

Newcastle are going to dismantle Arsenal.
I also think we will drop some points before the end, but it won’t matter.

Bloody awful game Rodri and Gundogan looked knackered, hard win and sometimes that’s what’s needed but it’s starting to tell on some players we can’t drop that they are looking tired. Get a good win against West Ham and get Philips in for Rodri against Leeds we need him for Madrid.

If Phillips isn’t trusted to start a semi final against a Championship side, he won’t be trusted in a league game.

 

[Bill the Blue]

We never win at home and we never win away, we lost last week and we lost today, we don't give a fcuk 'cos we're all pissed up, MCFC OK..!

Gundogan could hardly run by the end, surely Lewis or Phillips could have replaced him for a bit more energy.

That is the big concern about having Philips in the squad. This was the sort of game where he should be able to come on and help solidify the midfield - but Pep clearly doesn't trust him to so. I hope second season syndrome sets those doubts aside. On Lewis - I don't think Pep wants to expose him to that responsibility yet - and that is fine, but if he keeps progressing he will be fine there.

Just don't think pep fully trusts Philips at the moment that's why rodders plays week in week out....but I think Philips will have some part to play in next 2 league games ?

Just glad to get the three points and get out of there. Felt all weekend that'd be a tough game and to Fulham's credit they gave us that.

Motm was Gundogan for me, he was outstanding and ever present. Proper captains performance that was.

Alvarez close to it as well, close to the best goal we've scored all season that one, a absolute worldie.

Onto West Ham now.

Yes and that will be another hard fought match. They keep coming round quick now so all the players need to try to keep as fit as possible and come through without injuries. WHU need points so will be up for it but with any luck we will put the lack lustre 2nd half behind us and be back on it. By the way, I’m not surprised we weren’t as good as v Arsenal, the players put so much into that game, it was always going to be hard to meet the same high press standards.
