Its not funny, its coz he's vastly improved. First of all - he actually seems to understand the offside law. He gets about now and his general play is great, he holds the ball up and understands how to bring other players in. He's actually always known where the back of the net is. Remember his goal v Brighton? I was sad for him that Roy dropped him the next game.

6-0 would have been a fairer reflection of the game.
The front 3 were outstanding, but Wharton and Hughes gave them a platform to play woth their constant probing and passing.
Clyne had another impressive outing and Richard's tackling was spot on.
I wasn't sitting far from Glasner and he has very high standards becoming very animated on the touchline when he observed a drop off in intensity or casual spells of play.
A real pleasure to watch us play so well and with such positivity.

Slightly unfair.

1) He was s***e. And now he's playing better. So the moaning was justified at the time.

2) You actually do hear from us - in the other thread aptly named 'Mateta', you'll see a thread from me admitting to the consumption of humble pie.

Great game, great performance.

but you are all way too hard on Mateta. He's a player that needs a run of games to play well.. and has been handled pretty badly since his time here. Its no surprise to me he is playing so well now he's been starting every game. His Last best run was at the end of Vieira's first year - when he started to score and showed what he can do. Then he's inexplicably dropped at the start of the next year for Edouard. never understood that. since then, he was forced into a sub role, that doesn;t really suit him. Fair play for him to take this chance, now it's come to him.

Sooooo happy for JPM - he is a changed man and now opposition defenders are having to double up on him, which creates space for the glimmer twins. One thing that amazes me is how Clyne has gone from being a bit player under Roy to now being immense, quick, positionally solid and a core defender under Olie - truly transformational and that says it all around our new coaching paradigms.

I wish i was still living in Essex they would have hated me in the pub lol , i couldnt stop laughing at 4 , its been a bad week for keepers Burnley , Blackburn and now Henderson all done the same error , but i think it was the tears of laughter caused him to miss kick the ball hehe , He his still a good keeper proved that lasi week ,
think Eze was show boating with his goal did cringe a little incase he got hurt , we are safe now do the same to the geordies and job complete so sad we lost so many players with injurys all season could have been up there , going for europe COYP

Back 2 Back wins in the league.

First of the season!

This. I don't think this can be stressed enough. The new JPM is a nightmare for defenders as they have to keep an eye on him this stops them getting forward.

We now need to find a JPM II to come off the bench as a super sub. He doesn't need to be a 20 goal a season player but the type that causes a defender to groan oh no not him.
