I think its more about the balance, if the only thing you take from that performance is to dig out one of our players..its just pretty weird.

Was it because Alli was offside or just poor reffing ?
Oh I agree with that.
Poor refereeing. The ref actually gave Pickford a talking to afterwards so he definitely saw and knew that it was a bad challenge so very strange he didn't at least get a yellow for it.

If Dele had gone in on Pickford in the same way then most of the footballing world would be calling for him to be banned sine die.
Especially as they recently teamed up in the WC FInals together. Brainless bastard Pickford, I reckon he has shot his bolt with England now,

Surely he can be retrospectively dealt with here seeing as the referee didn't punish him? It was a ludicrous tackle. Just watched it again on Motd and if he makes more contact with Dele it's a season ender

The ref spoke to him so perhaps they can't as he already noted it

Brilliant intro by MOTD by the way. Watching it now.

That's got to be one of the best post match interview/analysis I have ever seen. Superb, light hearted.

Although it was only highlights that BBC effort gave us proper insight into the game not the blah blah Poch to Man United agenda they are pursuing.
I'm so sick of Sky/Tyler/Neville and the rest of those shit stirrers.

Imagine the lolz.He's going win our player of the year isn't he.
People love having something to moan about.
And they're a bit butthurt that it can't be Sissoko any more.

He wouldn't have the legs for us and I don't think his all round game is that good. He's very good as a focal point ten, but you need a bit more dynamism. That said it didn't help when Sherwood played him and Chadli as DMs.

Cracking player but proven track record of being better as a regularly playing big fish in a small pond with the team set up around him.

If he keeps going the way he is he’ll get my vote, I think he’s been superb over the last month or 2.He's going win our player of the year isn't he.

Of course criticism can be applied. But I think it's fairly telling that despite winning by a great margin, coming from behind away from home and taking many of our chances, supporters will still find the energy/need to criticise the team/players. Like it's a thesis or scientific paper where you need to state the limitations of your study.
I find that really strange. Players will have misplaced passes, lost possession, missed chances, tackles or saves when they 'should' have been made. But isn't that normal? Even when City, Barcelona or Bayern win 10-0, there will be missed chances, passes and some players who won't have scored 10/10 upon review. What is it that we want? When will we be happy?
Lamela was excellent. He was trying out stuff and being probably over adventurous when it came to dribbles, attempted passes and attacking play. But if you can't do it when you're 2 or 3 goals up with 20min to play, when are you going to have fun, express yourself on the pitch and try out stuff? I think Pochettino wants players to be brave. He wants them to try and take risks and make mistakes. He wants Skipp, KWP, Winks and Dele to go for it - sometimes they will make mistakes and as a team we will lose out. Will people criticising Lamela also criticise Kane for his missed chances?
Reading some of the posts (not aimed at you) on here reminds me of my childhood - if I scored 98% on a maths test, I'd get asked what I got wrong and why I didn't score 100%. This is a forum and it's fair for all of us to express our joy and frustration equally. But I feel like it's kinda missing the bigger picture. The "yesssss, we won and we won well" picture.
I'd be surprised if other teams' fora are full of as many critique posts when their teams have won by as big a margin (Arsenal and Wet Spam fans aside). But maybe I'm wrong. Am I?

His rejuvenation certainly puts him to the forefront of people's minds... but I'd still have to say Eriksen, Son and Dele are my contenders at present.He's going win our player of the year isn't he.
If he learnt to shoot however...
