Got to say i was really disappointed in Wanyama, don't think he added much at all from CM defensively or offensively and nearly cost us in the middle of the park in the second half.

Sissoko was magnificent today and Foyth (or Foytttt) really grew into the game, his adorable face when he scored!!
I thought Wanyama looked like himself for the first time in a long time during the first half. As the match went on he began to struggle as he tired, but that's to be expected for a player who hasn't been able to put together a run of matches to build his fitness for over a year. We just weren't in a position to be able to sub him off, with Dier's fitness a question mark and the substitutions limited by Trippier's injury.

I apologise to Sissoko for every time Ive slated him:censored:

Hes looking really really good, credit it to him, he really must have put in the work. Hes gone from looking like he plays for the Nags Head to looking like Yaya.

Well done lad.

Replying to your posts is stalking now is it, do you know how forums work?

I think he's referring to the fact you're stood outside his kitchen window, saying what you're posting really loudly at him while he's washing up.

That's a bit stalkey

Glad we’re winning these games whilst putting in below par performances, we’re gonna be class after January when we’ve spent £400m on Ramos, De Bruyne and Mbappe.

Fuck me I’m in bits!

Sissoko was channeling his inner Hoddle today, some lovely cross field passes to feet.

But, by Christ, this team puts years on you!

Was Kane subbed off at half time?
No he made the goal ;-)

Good win. Not a vintage performance but we can’t expect much more considering the injury situation.

Just worried about the squad depth going into the pivotal Inter, Chelsea and Arsenal games.

Sissy is just mugging posters off on a weekly basis.
Great to see.

Made up for Foyth as well.

Moss was an absolute disgrace.. how could he pull the play back that Kane foul on Townsend when the lattet had already regained his balance and composure to continue play..

You summed him up and said that his crossing ability is poor based on one half of football, do you see what's wrong with that? Do you see how stupid your statement is now?
I could have told you Aurier is shit at crossing a ball before this game even started though.

He did only play one full half and it wasn't much better than usual...he can barely cross his legs tbh. If you're trying to make Serge look better than he is, you might want to ignore his delivery.

What a three points. Don't think we played well in all honesty and if Zaha was playing I'm not sure we would have gotten away with that level of performance but nonetheless we won, dug in deep and got a great result.

Sissoko was fantastic, that first time pass to Lamela from the high ball was great and a sign of the confidence he's now showing. Massive props to Foyth also, so happy for him as I thought he was really unlucky against Wolves.

Didn't seem to get any of those niggly fouls from Moss and he was really poor in not stopping the game sooner when Lamela clearly had a head/facial injury.
Saw a stat that said Zaha has never scored or assisted against us. (not sure if all competitions or at home/away)

I really want the old Wanyama back but he looks a bit broken to me. I just really wasn't convinced today, but i need to take into account it was his first game back. Hopefully he can find some inspiration from Sissoko.

7 away wins this year. How is this happening when we are really playing so average!! There is no logic to us this year.

Considering we’ve played 4 “home” games and 8 away. We’re not doing too badly considering we’re not firing on all cylinders

Jesus fuck...You guys are literally unbelievable.

Ah, sorry, you should know though - SMC gets a free pass for... lets say, reassuring us that an old member is safe and has a thriving career, due to the fact SMC has an encyclopaedic knowledge of internet cam-porn.
