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 pīssed.
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.
