I feel like the fans are now, you know, in the past was a bit of eye rolling at some of the runs he was making.
And, you know, no one's ever doubted necessarily his effort and his workload, but he was starting to make runs that looked pretty futile.
Whereas suddenly, you know, he made the goal.
That was very much his doing.
He created the situation that led to the goal.
And from nothing, really, not from a particularly threatening position, his run alone created that situation.
And it's really nice, actually, because there's always been this doubt about, you know, is he going to be a flop?
And I still don't think it's definitively, you know, he's been a success.
But I do think it's really nice to see a player settle into a club and actually finally show what he's capable of.
And last night felt for him like a real celebration of how far he's come.
He did miss that great chance as well, to be fair.
He missed a brilliant chance for a second one.
But again, he got into that position.
And, you know, if he'd scored that, you'd have said,
what a game from Jokers you know he's on fire but you know he did miss that chance I will concede that and I really thought that was going in all the way and you know looked perfect the ball was perfect was it in Capia I think put it perfectly into him and he did blaze it but I just think he's such a different player when he's confident and he looks confident and I'm just really happy for him actually I'm by no means an Arsenal fan but I love to see a player who perhaps looks like he's on course to be seen as a bit of a flop finally sort of deliver
Yes, I think I probably was.
But I think I was also expecting exactly what we got to some degree.
So coming into this, I think to some degree what was interesting was that the first leg, because of the disappointment with the overturned penalty...
It felt like Arsenal were a bit disappointed to have only got that one all draw.
But actually, that was a huge result.
