Awful game but defensivley looked very solid with Holgate and Godfrey at CB. Whole defence to be fair looked very good with Allan in front.

Poor interview that from Arteta he is clinging onto that job by his finger nails

He was better at corners than he is a manager and his corners where [Poor language removed]

No reliable stream yesterday, so could not watch. Report suggests it was a borefest. Was it?

I didn't even bother with it. Cba watching London red scabs. Nice to see we got the points. No idea how we played, got to read back a bit. But yeah, erm oh dear, football and me are at a crossroads.

Why was Delph wearing different colour socks?

Only about the results and 3 points in the bag... last chance saloon to go on a run of results..

There's a reason Arsenal and their Super League pretensions are lower in the table than us.

One concern last night, Dom reaction after the ball past the line was absolutely disgrace, instead of celebrating team mates goal he is questioning Richi with poor body language why you didn’t pass me the ball ....Dom work hard I have to admit but also lately I noticed a lot of selfishness in his game towards Richi , must say disappointed with Dom, I hope he didn’t start to think in his head that he is bigger than our club

At least 3 points in the bag. Pickford - kept us in it with the little he had to do at the end, new hairstyle and hopefully a 'new' keeper between the posts.

A truly terrible game but outstanding result.

Strangely that pretty much sums up our season.

I genuinely can't remember many really good performances this season , perhaps WBA at home , the RS at the pit ( but then even Burnley beat them away ) and Leicester. Oh and the cup game v Spurs.

....a little surprised to see Pickford MoM. One terrific save and it’s refreshing to see him looking ‘safe’ but he was very well protected for most of the match, particularly Godfrey was excellent ahead of him.

i also thought the much maligned Coleman played very well, Holgate improved for playing alongside Godfrey but I would be a little concerned against teams with greater aerial threat. Major problem is the lack of running power and mobility in central midfield, I think that’ll be why we fall short this season.

Our lack of pace and width was evident last night. This needs addressing if we are to progress. And our passing is so panicky and rushed. But hey 3pts are 3pts. Onwards and upwards.

If he doesn't make that save eggs its a point from a winning position. I had Cokeman as my motm until that point.

It was a match winning save so deserves motm for that.

It was an awful match but you are correct we were solid and protected him well. A big sufferance yesterday was being tight, keeping the clean sheet which gave us the platform fir a win.

Played far better against Spurs and Palace but defenses lapses and poor finishing cost us. Not much of that on show last night.

Why was Delph wearing different colour socks?

Doubtless Delph quickly pointed out to the other players that they were all wearing the wrong socks.
