Amazing that we are winning.

We really need to stop letting them get down the channels.

Better second half to the half, but we were lucky to be still in it. If we go with a back 5 - bring on Alderweireld or put Dier there, I don't mind which - we'll negate most of the problems they're causing us.

Worst ten minutes
of the season to start.
Gritty afterwards.
Might just win it now.

Blew us away first 20 mins and we were lucky to be only 1 down. Great come back
Alot like when we should get a couple of goals in a 20 min spell and were not clinical enough, I really had a feeling they would regret not getting a second.

Come on lads, great turnaround but this is not over.... they will throw everything at us again at start of 2nd half and we need to weather that storm.

There are definitely more goals in this, hopefully for us as this doesn't finish 1-2 IMO...….please lads....

On the occasions we beat their press they look really vulnerable. Thing is we also look open and are struggling to link the midfield and the attack. Sissoko has been great recently but he's getting too far forward and leaving loads of space behind, while also isn't a reliable outball so we're forced to go long. I think we need to sacrifice his running for a bit of control and cuteness in Winks - it'll be less of a lottery and we can actually get Alli, Eriksen and Kane in the game.

I actually think Foyth has been good. I just feel it puts the team more on edge having a youngster in defence. Toby would make everyone feel more secure.

No way we are keeping them from scoring another. We will have to be clinical with any chance we get as we will need a third.

Most mental half of football I’ve seen. From the ridiculous to the sublime. I’m shaking.

Cutting through us far too east easily on the flanks, especially Aurier.
Poch needs to tighten things up.
Absurd 1st half and scoreline

Bloody hell we need to tighten up.

Absolutely, affording them so much space, especially when we lose the ball in their half.

If we can tighten up and gain some sort of control we can hurt their defence so much, just need to get our foot on the ball more too.

The yellows for Dier and Verts are a worry. That and the fact that every time they play direct (every time they get the ball) they appear to be in behind us.

How we’re winning this I will never know. Poch needs to sort them out a bit.

Son been great. A real threat. We haven't really played yet and we in lead. Whoever holds their heads wins this game. Come on Harry K need you to step up this second half and settle the heads out there.
