It's criminal how underrated Dembele is, he's incredible:

He certainly isn't underrated by spurs supporters so I guess you mean other fans and media?

Probably because you don't really see what he does on motd highlights and he has had very little cl exposure to show off that silk on a world stage.

Like Poch said it's a shame he didn't get him when he was much younger, 30 now. Hope we do much better in Europe and he can show everyone his capabilities

Thought we played really well, worried about only having Tripps at at RB, feel we need a backup option tbh.

Some cracking goals and we look so good in attack and that's without Son or Rose etc
Agree Cover for Trippier would seem to be a necessity, I wasn't that taken with KWP at right back against PSG.

Encouraging result.

Still don't see where Barkley fits in when we have winks and Josh waiting in the wings

Eriksen & Davies played the full 90minutes - looks like they are 2 fit players in squad. Both had few stray passes, but overall solid

CCV - sorry, long way off PL football

Winks, Dele & even Kane - rusty.

Nkoudou & Janssen - had good moments but largely ineffective

KWP - looked good, but needs proper CB near him, not CCV

Dier,Wanyama,Toby,Jan - Moslty Solid

Dembele - Imperious

LMFAO he's called Areola?!?!

I thought that was funny enough early in the evening. Later though, when I switched to another game, I wasn't quite sure if was the alcohol or advancing age, but I was disappointed and a bit frightened by the prospect of quickly advancing mental frailty in middle age because I was sure that there was no way there was another player on the planet with THAT NAME playing in the very next game.

I'm amazed at how in a slightly drunk state my mind rejected it every time I heard it I just woke up on the couch and I'm

relieved to find that my mind wasn't playing tricks on me when I checked the USA lineup. Look at the right winger's name.

TBF to Kyle he had CCV next to him.

If it were Toby there and Big Vic in DM his defensive job would be made a lot easier.

Barkley shouldn't be competing with those two as they all play completely different styles of game.

Barkley should be Eriksen cover or be played on the right like he was last season with Everton.

There were definitely people on here who were banging on about how he didn't do this or that well, with his defenders pointing out what he did do was just invaluable to the team. Mostly levelled at him was holding on to the ball too long and not releasing early slowed all our attacks down. This though in part true, I for one love the guy his strength and balance are just incredible we are lucky to have him.

Glad to wake up to see us win. Pre-season we know is usually no great indicator for what is to come but it doesn't hurt us to beat top European teams, and PSG are in the top drawer as a tea full of class attacking players

CCV commits himself for the first goal and gets caught out.

KWP out of position for their second goal.

Both will learn from it and taught how to deal with each instances better, nothing too much to worry about.

Admittedly didn't see the game but CCV hardly covered himself in glory for their two goals. Caught deep for the second and then done when he went to close down, just like the first
