If we win I’m not really fussed by how many at this point of the season.

I think momentum can’t be underestimated, especially at this stage of the season.

West Ham is a case in point. Losing by one- meh..
Conceding 5 goals- crisis

But points tally the same in both scenarios

Absolutely, but if you win, particularly away, I think it’s far less important.

True, an away win always feels good. Still hoping we can score 5 like Chelsea did this evening.

What a funny conversation as it kind of started with you saying we should do to Brentford what Chelsea are doing to West Ham, and a few posts later, I’m saying the same but you are saying

A win is a win. I get you though.

My biggest wish is that Malen gets a start

No I agree, I’d like us to do that. But if we win I don’t think how much we win by is that important.
