what a freekick. eriksen's best for me.

Lamela has been disappointing. How many times has he been tackled. He should be stepping up against this level of opposition, but he seems to be an argentinian townsend when it comes to decision making - without the decent pace.

Ive never seen Dembele tackled so much, but this is becaase he is playing further forward. Against weaker opponents i think this works, as he has helped break on several occasions and also held the ball up well, but he lacks the invention of an AM. Still not bad.

I think stambouli and kane have looked our best players, with Mason keeping things ticking over pretty nicely.

Always felt dembele further forward or out wide would allow us to cause more problems. You need someone to apply a bit of trickery. I think when he is in cm, he's probably a bit less inclined to try it in case he loses possession at a critical point. Playing further allows him to play closer to his natural attributes.

It's hard to find fault with that half, except that we should have scored 2 or 3. Kane has taken shots from positions where he should have cut the ball back. Campbell-Ryce got past Davis once. That's about it.

Basically, everyone has played a focused, intense game, as if designed to neutralise SU's potential advantage: the "midweek cup match up north, don't like it up 'em" factor. The key factor has been that Mason, Stambouli and Dembélé have repeatedly won the ball off United's midfielders: they've been first to the loose ball and have caught SU in possession numerous times. We look like the aggressive, physical side, not them.

Dembélé was slow to get into the game, but has staretd to make things happen, although he still releases the ball a half-second too late, even when he's on the wing. Mason and Stambouli have been excellent. Lamela has made a few good runs. Kane is full of energy, but nothing has come off for him so far. The defence has been largely untroubled.

And Eriksen is Eriksen. He gets it done, at the right time and in the right way, without flamboyance or fuss.
