If he had more guile in the final third he'd be a superstar. Still love him.

Really impressed by his grit today. Liverpool's press targeted him and he had a hard first half, but I thought he ran the show second half and it showed.

I was a little worried about him while ago that maybe he was declining. He's shown last two games, both occurring in space of 3/4 days that there's a lot left in tank. He was immense second half in getting us pushing them back and building that momentum that helped completely change this game. Love him.

Two huge games and he was the best CM on the pitch both occasions. Fantastic. Picking up form right when we need it. Get a fully fit Wanyama in there with him and it improves us so much in that area.

I feel like Wanyama and Dembele are what we need against Arsenal. I'm not against Dier going into defense, but just feel like we need a little more composure in the middle of the park. Arsenal are going to be able to counter incredibly fast so keeping the ball and not losing it in dangerous areas/middle of the pitch will be key.

Get this guy next to Vic for the last few matches and we'll tear up any midfield that we come up against, absolute rock today.

Awesome again today, maybe he isn't regressing? Needs a rest midweek though, basically everyone does.

Love him. One of our true big game players.

Hope he had a nice rest this week and is raring to go in the NLD!

Dembele's been immense for us in the last couple of games and Vic looks ready to go. I'm praying that Toby is fit for the NLD because sanchez looks twice the player between Toby and Jan. I'd leave Dier out but I doubt Poch will.

He's the only midfielder of his type isn't he?

Everytime I think he's finished he does this.2 great performances in the space of a week. I think we should look at just giving him a bit part role now against weaker sides to keep him sharp, and save him for the big games.

He really is a big game player, and is going to be incredibly difficult to replace long term.

He was never finished. Some people are way to quick to jump to conclusions.

This is just me but I'd love to see us play Alli in CM against the "smaller" teams. That gives us the opportunity to rest Mousa and start Lucas, Eriksen and Son.

I would like us to play a 4-3-3 in these games with a DM and Alli/Eriksen as the more attacking players in a midfield triangle. That would allow us to play Son-Kane-Moura/Lamela across the front 3.
