These the sort of heartbreaking wins you need to psychologically break your rivals.
Arsenal fans will be panicking now if they go 1-0 down to Villa.
Arsenal were gaining on us hand over fist the past month. So happy for the win to stem the bleeding.
Absolutely needed this.
That is a strong Villa side today with a strong bench too.
Harvey did, what did Jones do?
I had given up on a late winner for the first time since pre Klopp.
Over the fucking moon.
Best we’ve played in a long time but Brentford shape was poor, they afforded us so much space to get at them.
Dom was really really good at driving forward and finding pockets.
Ibou sensational.
VVD just behind him.
Alison solid for the first time since his return.
Kostas decent going forward, poor defensively but the yellow made it hard stay at a great player.
Trent best game in months and he was proper delighted to set up that winner.
Macca industrious as ever without getting us the crucial breakthrough.
Gravy another very tidy game.
Dom brilliant.
Diaz excellent (some you cunts don’t understand football if you thought he was the problem today.
Gakpo good running, great positions, wrong choice with finishing.
Salah, the nearly man with a couple of passes and efforts but his form is worrying.
Elliot - won us the game.
Chiesa - won us the game.
Jones - added energy.
Robbo - added energy.
NUNEZ - the mother fucking king!! Amazing and not just the goals, he made a very positive difference.
Slot - brilliant subs!
7pts again! So needed!!

For the final goal he went into the box and took one of the defenders away. 4 of the subs had some impact with that goal.
I really enjoyed that game. Even at 85 minutes I felt we would break them down. I felt it was a fantastic performance. They did what loads of teams against us and that’s get pushed back deeper and deeper whilst trying to outpace us on the break. With the energy we showed I knew they couldn’t hold out.
Still meh...
I think today proved that we ABSOLUTELY need a consistent 9
The min Cheezy came on, i knew we would nick it.
He's got that lucky charm about him.

Fwiw. That it took as long as it did to actually score is shocking.
Or even just to play with one. Time to park the Diaz as false 9 experiment for a bit. He can rotate with Gakpo based on form.
Agree with all that, apart from the Diaz line
He shouldn't have played today. He did ok in a position he's not comfortable in, but we NEED to start a comfortable 9. Jota, then Nunez or Danns. We NEED someone in that position who knows how to play that position. The movement is different, the runs are different, the knowing when to hold and when to release is different.
I dislike xg.
40 poor quality shots doesn't equate to "oh we should have scored 4 goals".
Shots that actually required flekken to make a save were few and far between
That's why I'm saying it's shocking that we didn't score earlier. We created fuck all from statistically good positions.
Outrageous prediction….. Chiesa will become our best player for the last 2 months of the season driving us to the title and CL.
You can see the brilliant that’s lying dormant in him. He’s slowly defrosting him and I can see him just getting better and better as he grows in confidence and gets his minutes up.

But that image shows they haven't actually gained on us at all in that time...
We've both drawn two and won four of the last 6.
Haha well done. Keep up Peter 😉
Oh were you being sarcastic? Silly me.
I suppose there's been a lot of meltdowns on here recently? I never post after bad results cos all the panicking just stresses me out.
