I have maybe missed it and if I have, apologies.

A wonderful win for the Eagles but, for me, the pass of the day was Luka's cross-field ball to Olise that started the move for the third goal.

That was an extraordinary piece of skill; not only did he switch play to an unpopulated LH side but did so with pin-point accuracy over 45yds.

Made me purr with pleasure.

That third goal pointed to the progressive way that I believe Vieira is trying to get us to play.
Interestingly the three subs were heavily involved and I doubt the players replaced would have achieved the same objective.
Kouyate would not have been capable of Luka’s crossfield pass, Ayew wouldn’t have been pinned to the touchline to receive the pass or then play it early to Gallagher who made the cross and Benteke would not have the composure in front of goal to finish that chance.
This is not a criticism of those players replaced who all played their part yesterday and are more physical than the three players replaced.
However, I do see it as a conundrum for Vieira moving forward .
We need the physicality provided by Kouyate and Benteke to compete in games but also need the skill of their replacements to open up teams.
At least we have the options which has to be positive.

Sorry.

Tried to edit out one mistake and I got a reprint.

Oops!

Yes, that didn't go unnoticed. Andersen loves that sweeping diagonal passes and the one to which you refer was not only a beauty but was compounded by Wilf's sublime skill and his roasting of the full back - a repeated feature throughout the game.

Luka has always had this in his Arsenal, the previous year or so he has been off his game, and its not often he has the option on for doing so anyway. Lets not put Kouyate down too much, he had his best game in a long time yesterday.

No you haven't been. I posted on a thread that the system RH payed Limited how luka could play. He's a driver in midfield and with no where to drive under RH he was stifled. Wouldn't be surprised to see his form pick up in this system.
