OK only two games in but... ffs we can defend! Ffs we scored a goal! Ffs we closed down a (slightly) better team who threw all they could at us! Ffs we have two real quality new players on today's evidence! And WE BEAT ARSE! Coming down to earth a bit of course today wasn't faultless, but the improvement on last season in terms of authority, confidence and a formation that seems to actually make sense to the players is a joy to see and has to be down to good management.
Lovely job of work today Mr Hughes, bring on West Brom.
9* from me
add * if you were there please

* 8
As others have mentioned on other threads, Zouma was a beast at the back, Pieters gave everything I thought and a mention for Cameron who I didnt notice all match, which shows hè Just kept things simple and tidied up.
Thought Marriner was fair to both sides as Well apart from when Pieters got hacked down second half. That looked really nasty

I was sceptical when I saw his team selection , would have played Crouch myself and i didn't see us as a threat before the goal . So more attacking work to do .
On the other hand Zouma is a masterstroke, we looked as we did at Goodison a solid unit defensively and Choupo and Jese both did as well as could be expected We have also clearly had our best pre season since he came because the team looks fit
8.5 for me

Starts at 10 for the team selection, plus 1 for the clean sheet, plus 50 for beating Arsenal, so that's 61 from me.

Actually looked like he had genuinely made an effort to stop monreal and bellerin getting round the sides of us.
We looked organised!

8'- thought Bera was the wrong call and we sat far too deep the longer the second half went on but the most encouraging performance for a long time. Credit where credits due.....

Team selection Bold and positive
Early substitution brave and proven correct
Jesse substitution spot on and timed right.
We sat too deep second half and invited pressure and failed to hold on to the ball at times, however we coped with it very well.
It was really good to see some grit and determination back in our defence though.

10* Just 2 matches ago they wiped the floor with us and he deserved nothing. Then he creates a side and instills a winning, battling mentality in them that saw us taking all three points and not conceding a goal. Just brilliant!
OS.

I thought Hughes had a great game, i have knocked him for a while, but think we are finally seeing him address his own performance too.
