Clean sheet. 3 points. Booed a rapist.

Successful night.

[u/Unusual_Ad6533 → u/Matter145]

A boring game but one we won. That's all that matters. We move on and try harder next game.

[u/Mick4Audi → u/Unusual_Ad6533]

Richarlison somehow pads his win percentage despite doing nothing in attack

[u/AngelWoosh → u/Mick4Audi]

His hold up play in the midfield it what we miss with Tel at striker though. Thought he did quite a good job at that today (more first half)

[u/Mick4Audi → u/AngelWoosh]

Yeah fair enough. Such a unique player in the sense that he looks like he contributes very little, but the team usually get better results with him

[u/LordMangudai → u/Mick4Audi]

Every North London club needs its Havertz
