He’s been great recently but took things to a new level tonight. Showed some real quality on the ball and was often Dembele’esque in his winning back and recycling of the ball.

Sign him up.

It's a massive cliché but he's genuinely been our signing of the season. I know that isn't saying much since we didn't actually make any signings but it's meant to be a bigger compliment than it sounds, it's more of a symbolic thing I guess but anyway, yeah, signing of the season.

Hard to believe it's the same player - Poch has literally worked miracles with the chap. Still gets a bit of a nose bleed when he realizes he's near the oppositions box. But his passing is now threatening and incisive and doesn't break down any attacking moves as a pass to Sissoko would guarantee a bobble into touch in the past. And those blood and thunder charges of his.

Spot on Moussa. Continuez sil vous plait.

Even before kwp went off he’d swapped positions with him to give him some help.

A real pro and getting his just desserts at the moment. Credit to him.

I know what you mean, but that did make me laugh..... he’s basically proved beyond doubt that he’s better than nobody :D.

His improvement has definitely been a welcome surprise though I agree.

If Poch has simultaneously solved the Dembele-Wanyama/Aurier-Trippier conundrums with Moussa fackin' Sissoko, the man's a bigger genius than i ever thought he was

From not being able to kick a ball to being one of the first names on the teamsheet and our best player away to Barcalona in the champions League..

I bow in your magnificence my liege. *bows*

I honestly owe him an apology

I’ve been very very critical of him in the past, he’s still poor technically if we’re being honest but this season he’s shown passion and determination and that’s all I can ask for

And in the recent games he’s played like an engine, so fast and strong

Sorry Moussa, hopefully you keep this brilliant form ?

Seeing as no ones mentioned it, his cross for the lucas header was delicious..

Where would be without him. Best start to a prem season ever... One of our best tonight and for the last 7 or 8 games. He's a strong presence mentally.. Becoming a real warrior for us. Never did hide though. He is earning his respect and a crucial player for us now.

A close second to Rose for me. Both were fantastic.
3rd behind Eriksen and then Rose for me, but still quality nonetheless.

His athleticism and fitness levels are genuinely freakish, not to mention the incredible mental strength it must take to continue to run yourself into the ground so late in the game. There were times today where he had just made a lung-busting surge either on the inside or outside right, he'd move the ball central, we'd lose it, and then in what seemed like no time he'd go from being the most advanced player to being the deepest wide right either winning the ball back or stymieing and slowing down their counter. It was actually just incredible to watch.
