Now they are. But pur level is higher still. We can play better football than this. And we will need to if we want to win the champions league.

We have the intensity and the hunger back in our game. The football flows from it. And now we have the squad to help us maintain it.

I hate to harp on, but bear in mind this is the same side that was too scared of Liverpool a few months ago. Right now, they aren't scared of anyone.

Anything is possible this season. But none of it is going to be easy :-)

The 2nd half was about as good as I've seen us in a very long time.

Zubimendi has improved the midfield, and allows Rice to continue to develop his game. He is twice the player we signed from West Ham. Just seems to get better and better.

Calafiori and Timber keep getting better. And now we have the squad to cope with absences.

We have to maintain this performance level, or close to it. It is really hard to keep it going twice a week.

Right. Anfield shrouded in crisis is a far better story than the Arsenal not in crisis.

Let's keep it that way.
