I swear if Willy doesn't get his well deserved clean sheet I'll break some sh*t!

Kai looks sad, is he unhappy?

Kai Havertz always has a serious/stoic look on his face. I wouldn't read into it much.

This is the pre-season that we missed I think.

Needed this game for the attacking flow but defensively still a shambles

That is a penalty... 

Don't underestimate games like this by the way, they're really good for our confidence. I think the Grimsby game last season helped us massively. 

Obviously it's just Barnsley, but I think this will massively help us going into the next few games. 

Clear penalty

That's a penalty.  There was a clear foot out on CHO there.  Extremely unlucky.

That was a clear penalty.

One more goal to match our result from last year at this stage...

CHO trying too hard.

I am liking everything Emerson is doing today. 

He's had a decent game...might prefer him over Alonso if he was a bit more consistent

Haha are you serious. He's been excellent.

Excuse me? He's barely done anything up until the last 15 minutes or so. Barkley and Kovacic both been better, despite Barkley still making some crappy mistakes and that terrible miss

That was a stonewaller - the ref hasn’t given it because we’re 6-0 up and he feels sorry for them.

CHO has been sh*t but has still had his moments, the fact that he doesn't have 1 or 2 assists is quite unlucky

ref ain't going to give those when your 6-0 up

Hudson-Odoi has been better since moving to the left.

What exactly are you expecting of the laddie when he’s barely played of late? He should have two assists and a pen. He’s not been sensational, but that’s still a decent contribution for someone that’s barely had a look in.

Much better second half, quality told, better passing & more creative.

He needs to play more but it looks to me like he's trying to do too much complicated things at times, Giroud is a good teammate that reads him well though.

If Werner starts banging them in, then this could be the best set of strikers we have had at the club in a very long time. 

Good result! Brilliant confidence booster for our attacking players. We still look very, very vulnerable defensively which I’m sure is a big concern for Frank. Barnsley tested Willy far too often, I’m just glad he was up for it tonight!

Good game. We are terrible at defending. How we managed to keep a clean sheet is beyond me.

Looks like you don't have to start smashing s**t up mate

Ref looked embarrassed, should be professional and give it, but he deliberately waved that off, ah well didn’t matter.
