Are the stattos right? They're saying 11 home wins in a row the best since 1990 but didn't we go 15 in a row two seasons ago til Sheff Utd fucked it? Is this run league only and that was all comps?

It’s the league.

Kamara masterclass.

Yeah,  McGinn was good obviously but Kamara was a level above anyone else on the pitch today

Kamara - 4/10: was ok but John McGinn scored two. He needs to weigh in with goals.

McGinn - 5/10: didn’t do well apart from the two goals.

Fine performance and a great response to the defeat at Arsenal. Dyche with his tactics and their keeper certainly played into our hands but we were very dominant. Our right flank of Cash and McGinn were outstanding again. Brilliant goal from Watkins too.

Merson seems even more of a dribbling mess than usual.

Just what the doctor ordered after Arsenal. 3 points in the bag and Ollie on the scoresheet again.

No it isn't.

Haven’t seen the stat quoted but presumably it’s in one season. The last one mentioned under Unai was over two seasons.

I stand to be corrected, but only once during the match did the commentator happen to mention that a win would take us above Man City into second place, and when he did mention it he did so as simply an aside when the game was nearing an end. Bit disrespectful.

On his goal celebration: "A wee joke in the dressing room. I don't know how much I can say about it. There is a reason behind it and it was hinting at the manager talking about us going step by step so it was a wee nod towards that. "

Anyone think Unai was stomping around to get his point across?

15 in a row was home league wins.

11 in a row is home wins in all comps.

In case anyone is wondering.
