I feared the worst though when he lost a sprint by a mile against Cuco early on. But credit where it's due: he's been solid agian this first half.Oh and shout out to Davies, he's been excellent.
Davies has improved so much in the past 12months. He looks quicker too and contributing a lot in the final third
The commentators have been portraying this as a dominant Spurs performance. Until the 2nd goal went in, that wasn't what I was watching. Everton had a great deal of possession in the first half hour and created most of the attacks, which we defended well. But they were running the game and winning most of the ball in midfield.
We finally got a bit of control for 4 minutes and promptly scored an opportunistic fluke of a goal.And we have generally have looked more cutting in attack, which owes quite a bit to the Everton defence giving Davies and Trippier way too much space.
After the second goal, we properly took over the game and should really be 3 or 4 goals up.
Sanchez looks excellent. Not only has he defended well individually, but he has passed thoughtfully and worked seamlessly with Vertonghen & Alderweireld.
Sissoko hasn't been inspired, but he's been OK and played a part in one of the goals. Eriksen has been the brain behind everything, as usual. Alli has been driving Schneiderlin mad with his pressing and chipping.
But really, the difference so far has been that Everton haven't defended well and we have.
Lol so much nonsense in this thread.
Davinson Sanchez is quality ain't he? Sheesh
So what formation are we playing? 3331? With the wbs and dier the middle 3?
I have no idea why but Kane isn't looking as confident this season in front of goal as he has been the last few seasons, I know it will click eventually but it just seems like his shooting accuracy hasn't been as lethal as we have seen so often from him.
Last season he is burying that last shot he had 9 times out of 10.
