Love the rolling of the foot over the ball from Lamela before the shot. Simple yet always seems to wrong foot defenders.

Dean Saunders was speaking so much shit before the match, he was going on about how weakened we are I was half expecting Foyth, KWP, Winks and Llorente in the team the way he was carrying on. He also said Swansea now have an excellent chance of going through.

Proper dickhead.

Let's hope we remember what happened at home to West Ham in the League Cup after breezing it and going in at half time 2-0 up. Got to keep focused.
Agree and Dier and Sissoko worry me Dier giving the ball away and you saw what Sissoko did when rushed, letting the ball bounce. If Swansea are to get back in this I feel it will be a Spurs mistake by either Dier or Sissoko. Also hate to see Verts going forward on a run in a game like this, no need and if he loses the ball they are on the break. Rest of the team playing well. Would like to see Son in the game a bit more or subbed for Dele if he doesn’t after 15 mins second half.

As is the co-commentator, whoever the fuck that is.

Love eriksen and lamela on the pitch at the same time. Eriksen is perfect defensive playmaker (pirlo esq) and lamela is a great 10 (plus he works harder than most 10's)

Piece of piss so far. Swansea don't look bothered for this game. We've been easy enough on the eye but this is such a stroll it's hard to get overly excited by it.

They'll probably at some stage have a go, so I hope we're wary and waiting for it and keep a tight control on the game, but in a commanding position at this point.

Yeah complacency is the only danger now. May as well have been given a bye to the next round the way Swansea are playing.

Straight out the blocks for number 3 please Tottenham, without being too gung ho about it. Concentrate, concentrate, concentrate.

To all those saying Sissoko has played well, how about we wait until Swansea do something other than sit down on masse 20 yards from their goal.

He's done nothing wrong. But the vast majority of what he's done is so basic it would be fucking unbelievable if he had done something worng. Even Dier's been more ambitious.

We could be playing with Corroll and Sung-yung as our CM2 and we'd be more purposeful than with Dier and Sissoko against a team who have pretty much offered no pressure at all.

We've played well as a team, but we have not been tested at all. It's the easiest half of football we've had all season. We've thoroughly merited the 2 goal lead, Eriksen's been sublime, and I really like the fluidity of our forwards, it makes us hard to defend against and with Lamela and Eriksen out there we have two players capable seeing a through ball.

be interesting to see what happens now Swansea have absolutely fuck all to lose. They have got to have a go now, and with the players we have out there, Moura could get more of a look in on the counter this half.

He has utilised his pace well. Something slower players can’t do for example...
