Auba's flick to ESR for the 2nd. Am I wrong to think it's amazing?

[WES]

I never played footie and don't really watch it other than us. I know that.

But that flick round the corner with his back to goal, perfectly weighted, seemed great to me.

But none of the highlights even talk about. MotD talk about Auba's celebration, not his flick.

Am I wrong? That an average Div 2 player should be expected to do that 9 times out of 10?

Or was it a really Wengaball flick like that Ozil outstep volley for Ollie? Sort of ting DB10 would have done?

In short, am I wrong to be really turned on by it?

Don't get me wrong. ESR, Saka and MO contributed even more on the day. Love them all.

But that flick to play ESR through as the first half of the 1-2 that led to the goal. That's what I like.

Love MO-ESR-BS for the first. Love ESR's ball to put BS away for the 3rd.

Even love GX's turn on the edge of our box to change 1-1 into 2-0. Apologies, Granit. That was tops.

But oh, that flick.

Maybe I'm wrong and should just stick to babyfoot and ket.

But that flick. That flick.

Flicks and eye of the needle passes are what I like. Apologies for being pîssed.

You - like all proper Gooners - should be celebrating the victory, the performance and the future of this young team with enormous potential, including the manager.

And you should remember this when we next have a few bad performances and not reduce yourself to the level of the Bunnells of this world and begin questioning the manager before he's had the time he deserves.

Oh, I agree with all that. You notice I even apologised to Granit?

And if this team does come together, then we could go all in on a PV4 or Santi type to play between Party and the front 4, though I suspect that Laca will go and they'll prioritise a 23 year top drawer striker they hope will be the future.

{I worry that Pépé will end up leaving on a free eventually - MA doesn't like him, and today again showed why he wants 3 No.10s behind Auba and I'm including Saka in that. He's a winger who could play as a 10 like Bobby P was.}

But replacing GX with a young PV or Santi is the final piece of the first team jigsaw at the mo for me.

But was that flick sexy or am I just seeing things through red and white specs?
