Looking defensively solid throughout would be nice too

I mentioned before that I can't remember a 90 min performance under Ange. Happy to be proven wrong. The City game came to mind but they could have been 2 or 3 up before we scored. I'm talking 90 mins of control, our keeper picking his nose, defenders assured and calm, midfield in control etc. I simply can't remember one, Villa away early on when Solomon was playing maybe?
Edit: Burnley not Villa.

One of the Villa games was probably closest

I was at the Villa game that we won 4-1 in early November. We were 0-1 down at half time and my memory is that we were bloody awful in those first 45 minutes.
Assuming that’s not one of the Villa games that you mean?

Probably referring to the 4-0 win away last March
Solomon hasn't played for us this season has he? Are you thinking of early on in Anges' first season when we beat Burnley 5-1? Solomon with a couple of assists in that game....

Burnley that was it, not Villa. Was wondering why I couldn't find the result when I was searching for it.

Arsenal and Liverpool in 2023. They are his big two moments.
Same colour shirts I guess

David Cameron could never tell them apart, along with West Ham, when he was trying to remember which team he'd been briefed to tell people he supported.

Worst defence coincided with ange arrival. Conte and mourinho had worse players and did so much better in defence (hence other areas of the pitch became an issue)
Whom we're on the same points as.
The amount of defensive headers Kane got through I'm not surprised that our defensive record fell off a cliff when he left. (Only half joking)

It's certainly felt quite good not having a season of talking about conceded set piece goals. Through all the adversity this season, we've done a much better job of defending corners and free-kicks.
It's not the Harry Kane's that do that though. They mark nobody and stand at the near posts. Most of their headers are table stakes. It's been guys like Dragu and Danso that have made the difference in our box, along with guys like Solanke that do traditional number 9 duties when we're defending.
45% chance of a win at Stamford Bridge?? We could send 11 Harry Kanes and still not have a 45% chance. I love the optimism and I know it's 1st of April and all that but that ground is cursed!

Id forgotten all about him. He's one of those players, like Steven Pienaar or John Scales, that i just completely forget ever played for us
