I'd play KWP ahead of tripps tbh. Poch should just start getting him ready and admit that tripps isn't gonna be here next season. Just start bringing in KWP and get on with it.

No way, Trippier is invaluable against the smaller teams with his end product. We'll have a good balance rotating him and Aurier.

They also had 83% possession the last match. They defend by not defending at all. If you can put pressure on them and keep the ball in their half they have trouble. Saw it plenty last year. All over the place at times.

By the way, everyone, take a second to go back and rate this post with the Winner-ing it so richly deserves. This man called it early and nailed it.

Shout out to Sanchez, for a 21 year old lad to come into the middle of the best premier league defence and not look a single inch out of space is brilliant. The biggest compliment I can give him is that I feel he has been part of our defence for years, truly excellent player!

Rose still pips it for me with his defensive ability.

It's interesting how those two have overtaken each other at different stages. Davies pulling up to Rose again. Perfect competition for that position. Exactly what you want.

He was a stand-out tonight. My MoM.

I'd go with that.

With Kane, Aurier, Verts and Tobes the other stand outs.

Very strong, clever performance against a seasoned European team.
Soaked up a fair bit of pressure 1st half but were noticeably braver 2nd half and played higher up the pitch, especially on the left hand side.

Some fantastic individual performances but defensively an immense unit.
Sanchez is going to be some player; only his 2nd game for us & he already resembles Ledley.

Quick mention for our creator in chief Eriksen, he was at the heart of everything we did going forward - a joy to watch.

You see I thought Dembele and Eriksen and a very poor first half and was a big reason we conceding so much play to Dortmund. However, in the second half they phenomenal. Credit to them for pushing up a level.

I think the first half we were visibly nervous, we lacked composure on the ball. Well apart Son and Kane who great throughout. The second half we much more like the Tottenham we know.

Aurier and Sanchez are going to make a big difference for us playing at Wembley. Tripper has done well overall, and has a lovely cross but in terms of an over all package Aurier is another level all together.

Mabizela scored a wonder goal, didn't he? That puts him ahead of Sissoko for now.
