What impressed me more than anything about Sunday was the focus and application every single one of our players put in to the game. This should be the standard for every game regardless of who the opposition are. It is kind of a worry that this team seems to have some "mental" issues when it comes to preparing for and facing teams who are seen as lesser sides. Mentality isn't the only thing that will prevent us from losing some of the games we shouldn't be losing but it goes a long way towards giving you a better chance.

As it stands I still don't believe we will win the league but...having seen what the team are capable of it does bode well if we keep apace with the leaders and maintain some kind of consistency.
Yes, agreed.

I showed how a bit of thought, concentration and effort (before and during the game) works.

If I was Wenger, I'd be pre-empting Watford sitting deep, and being pro-active in a plan to overcome it.

We'll see....
