Yup, such a relief not watching kante bombing forward to 'assist' the attack every time, and less running back like a madman when we get countered. It did happen on occasion, but it clearly wasn't his main responsibility.
Yes last season this is exactly the type of team we'd concede 3 goals to, and kickstart their campaign!

Time to banish the nightmares of that 3 nil!

Just can't stop making goldrick look like prime ronaldo can we?

What a perfect miscued shot from taaamyyyyyy! Haha

Nice pullback from kovacic as well.

Darn that was sooo unlucky... haizz

Chilweeeellllllllll! What a pass that was from hakim! And here I was thinking his radar was a bit off today

Fuuhh ziyech with his amazing deliveries. Damn man. When was the last time we had corners like these?!

Oh my word what a miss by werner.

Of course werner finishes the more difficult chance! Deadly.

That's all down to kante's pressing there. Gotta say he's been a friggin machine today.

Conceded early, you get the feeling we're about to revert back to our old selves here,but the team seems to be building up some steel in their mentality at long last.

Couple of sloppy giveaways in our half by silva which will probably be covered up by his neat goal, but overall a good defensive showing, bar that one mistake at the corner where Sheffield punished is.

Sitting pretty in third. Hate the international break as much as anyone else, but it comes at a decent time with pulisic and now even kovacic needing time to recover.

Ziyech MOTM, Kante probably a close second.

Almost forgot about kai, shows how good we were yesterday

I'm actually warming up to the tammy and timo 'pairing' now, the combination of strength and speed keeps us less one dimensional, so long as they rotate their positions throughout the 90 mins.

Timo hit the post once, should've been played through for a tap in by kovacic, and managed to miss an easy one on one. Could've had an easy hattrick, all this with tammy being on the field with him, so it's definitely a good sign. In the end both strikers had a goal each, and ziyech almost put tammy through at the death for his second.

Against much stronger teams it remains to be seen if it'll work, but I'd like us to stick to it, just like how we're sticking to the zouma and silva combo. 👍

Edit: heard one of the commentators mentioning that it was Cho's birthday and kind of felt sorry for him not even getting a cameo, but if ziyech keeps this up, he can forget about that spot on the right. On the left he now has to contend with timo as well, and we all know frank loves pulisic. Tough few weeks ahead for him, if he's not up for a fight I don't think he'll remain here. However it's lovely for us fans to witness the obscene quality we have now, even on the bench!
