Pace and goals from the wings

[Hoops]

Really chuffed to see our rediscovered ability of running at teams with pace. The added bonus that all our wingers look like they have goals in them.

Lamela, Son, N'Jie and Chadli all look like they can get 10 goals + a season if selected consistently. Weve never had that before. If we can get quality back up for Kane, it would give us a real good shot at 4th or higher.

Wimmer looked fantastic on a side note. Poor guy needs some games.

Wimmer did play well but needs to lose weight and replace it with muscle. Reason for his not getting opportunities ?

I agree but it's not always pacy out wide, you only need to look as far back as last week against West Brom. The best thing is that we have the option of pace. Yesterday with Njie, Son, Lamela and Onamah I thought there was plenty of pace and energy which was greatly refreshing to see but you swap that with Eriksen on the left, Lamela on the right (who can drift in a lot at times), Dembele in the middle and Kane up front and it isn't full of pace. Good thing is that it's still full of energy and a good work ethic.

I just love having the option of bringing on Son, Chadli and Clinton for instance off the bench. Even if I would love too see them perform at a level that would have them force their way into the starting 11.

Difference between previous seasons & this season is - we never had presence in box previously. Now, likes of Alli, Lamela, Son, Mason are doing everything possible to get into box. What this means is there is alternative to Kane to score whether he plays or not. 4-6-0 worked for Barca because there are always players who are getting into scoring positions. Chelsea this year has tried it but largely failed - Likes of Hazard, Fabregas, Willian, Pedro , Oscar have not had the movement inside the box

Look at Alli's goal this season. Look at Lamela's first goal yesterday. If Lamela doesnt make the run, he doesnt score. Same goes for Dembele's PL goal tally. Mason's winner Vs Sunderland etc etc

With the pressing, fluid system, Poch is clearly encouraging this idea. Probably one of the reason's why he is confident our levels wont drop if Kane is injured or unavailable for selection.
