The performance against Stoke for me was our most comfortable performance since our return to the premier league .
We are fine without Cabaye , in fact we are better
The crosses are going in the box so frankly it doesn't matter if Wickham or Benteke plays in there now
Townsend is a HUGe upgrade on Bolasie and we banked a TON of money on the deal
Its unfortunate for Soare but Kelly is a more solid defender
The team is balanced Flamini will do Cabayes job, but better
The team look like a top 10 side again
Onward and upward
Well done

You mean "in my opinion".

This is the first time in years I can say I really like the balance in our team. Strong defenders and attackers with flair. If we can hold off on the injuries I'd put money on this being our best season ever. Keep the faith!

Sorry. This team is not finishing top 3

This really needs a 'like' button.

Brilliant performance and great result, but early days yet.
I would be very happy with a top half finish in what AP feels is a transitional season.

I agree we played fine without Cabaye, however let's not get carried away. One comfortable win doesnt make a season. I'm not sure I agree about Kelly, whilst he's a good defender it is clear he is playing with the wrong foot, and at times yesterday he slmost got caught out. There will be better teams this season that will exploit that to its fullest and there will be many on this board that will get on his case.

I'm not sure about some of your assumptions.

I think we might struggle when we reach the later stages of the Champions league next year.

Early stages we'll be fine. But let's not get complacent.

We have to expect the unexpected!

Haven't you seen any Sylvester Stallone films?

I agree it was the most comfortable. However, I think the effort yesterday was the most important thing and something that Connor has been lacking. Benteke's game has been closing down and chasing back and therefore I think that fundamental trait needs to be paramount in our game. We didn't let them play for long periods.

A great result and very good team performance,though it was against a poor Stoke side.If we can keep free from injuries to key players, then we could finish above mid table.There's a long way to go and we haven't played a "top" team yet.Hopefully things are on the up this season.

I thought Benteke looked brilliant. Really agile and strong and near full fitness.He is really going to do some damage this season. He showed me today he is way more than just a goalscorer. The guy is a real team player. But the whole team were good. And then look how what we have got on the bench and in the treatment room. Our management have built us a squad to be proud of. You can all have your view on who should start when fully fit, but the options are tremendous.
We are dogged by injury accident and illness at the moment, so what are we going to be like when we get a fully fit squad. Dare I say it, we are looking like top 10 material.

As an afterthought, its alarming how easily top flight players at all clubs get injured. I suppose it is due to the high levels of fitness and fine tuning of these guys bodies. Sadly enough it seems to make quite a few of them quite frail and easily injured.
But,yes, very happy today with our club.

Just to be clear, Flamini's only contribution yesterday was letting the ball roll under his foot and allowing Stoke to go through one on one. On what mental planet does his performance yesterday make him better at the job than Cabaye (5th most interceptions in the league last year)?

Absolute drivel.
