Pleaseeee for those of us who live on the other side of the planet.
sandro, dembele, lamela and defoe were the best of the starters, rose started brightly as well but went off early. quite surprised at the ratings of lamela, you can see(well i could) his class on the ball, he didn't make any townsend-esque mazy runs or take any bale-esque long range shots but everything he did with the ball was measured and he worked a few openings, including a sublime ball through to defoe for the first goal, his work off the ball was impressive as well. sandro was as combative as ever but his passing was more incisive than i remember, dembele carried on from the norwich game until going off and defoe took his goals well. holtby did a lot of nice things as well but he was a bit scattergun with some of his passes. hugo and the defence didn't really have much to do and sigurdsson had one of his games where nothing really came off for him.
I agree with this assessment, spot on.sandro, dembele, lamela and defoe were the best of the starters, rose started brightly as well but went off early. quite surprised at the ratings of lamela, you can see(well i could) his class on the ball, he didn't make any townsend-esque mazy runs or take any bale-esque long range shots but everything he did with the ball was measured and he worked a few openings, including a sublime ball through to defoe for the first goal, his work off the ball was impressive as well. sandro was as combative as ever but his passing was more incisive than i remember, dembele carried on from the norwich game until going off and defoe took his goals well. holtby did a lot of nice things as well but he was a bit scattergun with some of his passes. hugo and the defence didn't really have much to do and sigurdsson had one of his games where nothing really came off for him.

I grew up in a little beautiful beach town down south western Australia, I currently live in Perth WAWhere do you live, T_G?
Thanks for the ratings, guys. Didn't see the game either, and for the same reason.
