CLEAN SHEET

Glad for the win but it sounds like Emery needs to get on the backs of the 2nd string.

[Rockape]

Yeah playing poorly and winning overseas....we’ll take that.

[Zenith]

Very forgettable game of football, but think most of us would agree that winning regardless of performance is a good habit to have.

Bring on Palace.

It was s lot of players coming in that were not on the same wavelength, so disjointed and scrappy.

Same pattern as all of our games to be honest, not a first or second string problem, seems to be the norm for all.

Only the 2nd time Sporting have lost at home in 2 years

The other was Barca

Statement made

Emerys army going strong

Why do our players look like they can’t play football properly in the first half of games this season? Struggle to even control the ball ffs.

This season ?
We were 3-0 down at home to man city half time last season
We let in 2 goals at Nottingham forest
We were 2 nil down to ostersunds

[Andrew]

Sporting are just terrible . Worst I‘ve seen them

[Sims]

Thought u were gone

absolutely this... develop/fortify the team psyche...

usetabe we'd progressively worsen if we didnt start well.. the lack of confidence would surface and we'd swoon and concede

and winning there is no small feat... so... take heart, ye Goons!

[starmandb]

second game I‘m watching this season and it’s horrible .

Big fan then ?
Not like losing 3-0 at crystal palace under Wenger is it?
I feel your pain

[starmandb]

Doesn't sound like it was great at just 1-0, worth keeping the win streak going but not emphatic play?

How was Ramsey?

I expected more from what I've heard from him seeing as he's competing with Mesut for CAM, thought he would of tried to make a statement.

Man Utd are the only other English team to win at sporting Lisbon and that was 1-0 in 2007
Sporting lisbon had not lost at home since September 2017
A 1-0 defeat to Barcelona

[Phil71]

Pleased with that result.

I missed the game as I was traveling.
