Well that was a doddle. Great first half, pipe and slippers in the second. We were excellent, Arsenal were dire.
Jürgen's big gamble with Karius turned out not to be. Maybe he knew the Arse weren't going to turn up. I still think dropping Migs was a mistake - why undermine the guy who is still likely to be your 1st choice keeper over the season?
But anyway, at least Karius didn't have his confidence damaged. He looked very shaky with the ball at his feet, but made 2 good punches. To me, the biggest question mark is about his shot stopping, but we learnt nothing about that today cos he didnt have a save to make. No way I would have predicted that stat at the start.
Our MOTM's? Went for Can, but could have been Gini or Mane.
Salah and Matip were also very good, and even my bete noire, Moreno, had a decent game. We were hungrier than them all over the park, and once we got a couple of goals it was all over. Excellent 3 points, excellent performance.
The goalie debate is going to run for a while this season it looks like. Jürgen's got balls making that switch, I'll give him that, even though I'm betting on Migs being back in possession come xmas. Worked out ok today though.
Great 3 points, sets us up nicely for Citeh as well.
