Find that a bit OTT considering he should have had a hat trick at least

I think he is saying son had a tough year without a rest, due to World Cup then the cup SK won, now his had a couple of weeks to get fit we will see him back to his best.

What are the implications for Lamela and Moura? All three are on form and fighting for the almost the same spot in the team.

This should keep everybody honest, at its worst though a lesser player could fall away.

i'm mean what do you opt for?

Moura: speed and direct running
Lamela: tenacious tackling
Son: Speed and trickery

I'd say Son and Moura share one job and Lamela and Eriksen compete for a different one. Keeping them all fit and fresh will be seriously good news for us.

Son was fantastic on Saturday and too many people were focusing on "missed" chances rather than the chaos he was causing in Chelsea's defence. They couldn't cope with him, and his goal exemplified it. Long may that continue.

And I'll admit to my own disbelief that Sissoko could be an effective footballer with us. He's been very handy, to say the least, in the last couple of games and I honestly didn't think he'd turn it around at Spurs.
