We're playing attractive, front foot football and deservedly in the top 4. Things haven't been this good for years
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Since the Poch years, it’s ok, you can say it, and we’re not quite there yet.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
We all want better than the Poch years which yielded nothing.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Well we ain’t even close to it, so could be a long f*cking wait.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
We are out of the cups so we are on par with Potless Poch.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I know. We got dumped out the first one months ago.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Beats getting to the final then losing. It's the hope that kills you...

Bentancur did great in the leadup to the goal but generally it was a pretty scrappy game. Werner doing nothing, Richarlison really wasteful in possession though a lot of that was probably down to the Brighton pass. Bissouma looked good when he came on, I think we've missed his tackling and ball retention.

I'm not concerned about the performance but in general, we seem to be struggling for goals. Hopefully Sonny gets in form quick
----------------------------------------------------------------------

We’re really not struggling for goals, strange comment. It’s conceding them that’s the issue.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I think they're both issues and to be fair, that comment is in the context of us playing so high up the pitch, creating lots of high percentage chances. If we still had a certain striker he'd probably be on 30 by now.

Ok just checked the stats, 4th in the league for goals scored. Guess I am just spoiled by all those years watching Kane turn half chances into goals. I'll shut up now

Why has this board become so nasty all of a sudden. Really weird behaviour considering we won today.

We have a run of decent fixtures from now until mid April. With plenty of rest between games. Hoping come the Newcastle game, we have plenty to still play for!

Though to be fair he's not creating everything in a vacuum. He should be ignored when he's like this. Just trolling, really

Trolling yes, but I don’t think he’s being nasty. He’s just taken up a very strange position, and fixation with all the slightly negative aspects of the team when there is so much to be positive about.

Back to the title of the thread. When was the last time we started with the same midfield three combo?

Answers on a postcard..

So are we back to Bissouma and Sarr starting in midfield for the next game?

Our best starting 11 keeps having slight alterations from week to week.

Forrest. 15 December. Biss, Sarr Deki.

Same mid as the game before, v Newcastle.

Fackinell. Sitting in 4th is a miracle, considering.

This is a very question
Right now, I don’t think Ange is that confident on the best starting partnership
Sarr is deffo one player that is part of midfield starter
Benta and or Biss is the other but which I am not sure it’s guaranteed anymore

Funny though. Last week it was all “we can’t see games out” and yet here we are winning at the death after coming from 0-1 down.

Some fans are just never happy. Always moaning. It’s supposed to be a joy FFS supporting your team. We’re doing well! Relax, be happy. Go touch some grass.

spot on 👌

That's where AussieGlue earns his salary.
Should depend upon how the players are doing in practice.
E.g., I would not be surprised to see Draguisin start in place of Porro next match....
Porro picked up a hard ankle knock and Draguisin ain't going to be happy on the bench.
Midfield.... Saar, Bissouma, Bentancur, Maddison
and up front.. .. Richarlison, Son.

Now that leaves us without speedsters on the wings, Johnson and Werner.
So..... who knows?

Dragusin isn’t a RB.

Yeah surely Royal comes in if Porro is out.

I think bentancur needs some time in the bench. He was at fault for the penalty yesterday and looked off the pace all game.

I’d go back to Biss Sarr Maddison and see how it goes.
