Deeeelightful stuff.
Eriksen, Dele and Son running rampage
assisted by my adopted Sir Harry.

Best, slickest we've played for a while and everyone contributing.
Cue end of impending, relegation crisis.
Well on match thread anyway

I think now it's only Lewandowski between Harry and being the best striker in the world

No coincidence we are looking better by giving consistent opportunities for Aurier. Trippier can't offer what Aurier does unfortunately. Our full backs were so key to what we did last season, therefore it's so important to utilise two fbs who can bomb up and down, pin their fbs in their own half and possess the technical ability and tenacity to be a threat in the final third. We have to get Rose and Aurier on the pitch as often as possible from now until the end of the season.

Although I'm not writing Davies off at all. Still think he's valuable.

This is how we played at WHL last season. Tempo in passing and movement, good press, quick combinations.

Clever, composed first half performance from the lads.

Hope we don’t overcommit ourselves going forward in the 2nd half, as one sucker punch and things will get very uncomfortable.

Harry should have had a perfect hattrick had the referee given the penalty on the foul on Son.

Dier has been playing well as well. Calmer than usual and looking good on the ball.

Yeah cause we're not being pressed :D

Yoshida practically said that there's absolutely no confidence in their team prior to this match and it looks like they don't have any confidence in their manager.

I dont think Aurier has played that well. Just average. Trippier wouldve put in more crosses IMO.

No surprise it's happened with having a more game ready Aurier and a more match fit Rose in the side.

Athleticism is key in Poch's teams. He'll know that.
