Much needed win that . Its now down to the manager to make the win a lot more valuable by getting another

It’s nice to see players not just passing for the sake of it. So much quicker and direct, and still some lovely passing combinations in the middle.

Arsenal will bottle it, with their great collapse beginning on 4th Feb.

I knew it all along

A deserved win with some really good footy not just hit and hope but some great play in the middle and no buggering about with it being passed back to keeper and back out again to the wings etc etc like we've been watching for months.

….not surprised at Doucoure joining the CM axis instead of Iwobi. Those 3 can be quite flexible in getting upfield but I expect them to get behind the ball when Arsenal have possession.

Called it mate

Well, I'll be honest, did not see that coming.

What a transformation in effort and performances.

Well done Dyche and the players, a small glimmer of hope at long last.

Alright lads, only 32 points behind Arsenal, we've got this.

Great win. Kept it simple. Think Gana and Onana get the plaudits for shutting out the middle of the park. But the wingbacks also did well getting out tight when it got spread out. Also think DCL played well - won a lot of headers and made himself an out ball. Nice one

 

[Houghty19]

Alright lads, only 32 points behind Arsenal, we've got this.

Better than 38 points

Lo and behold, a match was played betwixt two great football clubs, with Amadou Onana of the winning side shining as the brightest star on the field. On this day, he was a true warrior, wielding his skills with grace and might, determined to bring victory to his team.

As the game commenced, all eyes were upon him, for it was known that he had the power to sway the outcome. And sway it he did, for he played with a cunning and bravery that was unmatched by his opponents.

The men of Arsenal, a fierce and powerful squad, were no match for Onana's skill and wit. He dribbled past them as though they were but mere ghosts, scoring goals with ease and leaving the Gunners in awe. His movements were swift and sure, and his shots were precise and powerful.

In the end, it was clear that Onana's performance was the deciding factor in his team's victory, and the crowd cheered and praised him as the hero of the match. And so it was that his name was recorded in the annals of football lore, a shining example of the greatness that can be achieved by one who is determined and skilled.

Thus, the tale of Onana's brilliant display against Arsenal shall be told and retold for generations to come, as a testament to the power and beauty of the game of football.

Worrying, but you wrote that in the style of Stuart Hall.
Even more worrying, hasn't he just got out of jail?
