A good 1st half resulting in us going into the break 1-0 up when it should be at least 3-0

A slow second half where complacency led to sloppiness resulting to them equalizing

Good Sub by Poch bringing on Dembele and going to a back 4 where we resumed our press, leading to a second goal.

Another good sub by Poch bringing on Lamela for Dier which again resulted into a goal, our third

A hat trick of good subs by Poch saw a Harry for Harry sub where he could rest Kane and bring back Winks into the fold

The SUN described him as a flop but if he is, Moura can flop like this everyday of the week - my MOTM

MoPo got the vote for doing productive subs in good time.

Shout out to Lucas for looking lively. I'll be a real fan if he keeps it up.

Trippier, Lucas, Alderweireld, Dele, also Lamela etc. all very good.

But hats off to Poch today. It was his best game for us in terms of match management I think. Starting lineup, substitutes, formation changes, also whining to the ref, were all superb. He is really growing and learning with us.

Brave man, 10/10 today. He's magic, you know.

Moura MOTM. Good cameo's from both Lamela and Dembele. I really liked the shape early on but I think we would probably have been better with Dembele instead of Dier and Rose in for Davies. Trips put a lot of dangerous balls into the box but I think we failed to get across players making them fairly easy to defend against. Eriksen looks off the pace as does Kane and I'd like the latter to stay more central and not drift wide so much. Good 3 points and an improvement from the game against Newcastle.

Lucas was very good, involved in the game throughout

Dembele is just a monster - even a bit part player he is crucial - he just oozes calmness

Harry got more involved in the last half hour and finished the game where he should be - in the box and looked dangerous.

Toby is brilliant

Hugo is looking sharp off his line this season - really good start

Lucas MOTM. Worked hard plus got the first goal.

By the way, we are currently top of the premiership.

Poch got it right, we were struggling in that second half and getting Dembele on shored up the midfield and Lamela added a bit of drive.

Lucas MOTM? Dele didnt get a goal but was phenomenal all game. He was a level better than anyone else on the pitch. Nice goal by Lucas, tho.

ratings would be meh to be honest. We dominated for 70 minutes but finishing was woeful and the defending on their goal was awful - somehow two Fulham players got behind all five defenders.

oh, and Trippier - where did this freak kick maestro come from? Love it.

Lloris - 7
Trippier - 5(not a good display but gets an extra point for the goal)
Toby - 7
Sanchez - 6
Jan - 7
Davies - 4
Dier - 6
Eriksen - 5
Lucas - 8 (MOM)
Dele - 7
Kane - 6

Dembele - 7
Lamela - 7
Winks - NET but pleased to see him back.

Trippier and Davies were, on the whole, not good at all. Eriksen was poor. Dier, Kane Sanchez were meh. Toby is such a calming force in the defense. Poch's subs were game changing and earlier than usual for once. Reason we won today. So hats off to Poch. We needed that win today and Poch made the right changes to get it. It all could have gone pear shaped with a slow start after the calamitous summer on the board level continuing this week. But we're on max points and Poch has finally made game changing subs. Good stuff.

Squad looking much healthier today, another couple of weeks to get them fully match fit but good signs, and a few systems we can play.
Noteworthy
Moura was full of endeavour and always looking to turn and drive at them in tight areas, touch can be a bit loose (like his 1-on-1) but that can happen when a player is trying to do things at pace. (could've had a hattrick)
Thought Alli was good for the most part but on a few occasions where we had a real chance he dallied on the ball and looked so slow to move himself and/or the ball.

Kane still looking a bit leggy but the game came to him as others got weary, still not got his touch up to it's usual standard either, lovely take and finish for the goal though. also could've had a hattrick.

Great impact from Lamela really drove at them for the Kane goal and generally linked up and played well, with his usually enthusiasm.

Good to see Winks get some minutes, and nice to have a calming head like Dembele to come in when teams are looking to come at us.

Lovely goal from Trips at a key moment in the game and some neat balls into the box (not just crosses)

Dele was wasteful all game.
He just needs to do simple things quicker
Gets in great position though.

Moura clear MOTM. Adds some real zip to our attack.
Lamela excellent through the middle

wasteful? you mean like Moura's header from 5 yards that went well wide? Or his one-on-one with keeper where he had a heavy touch and fouled the keeper?

Lloris, Toby, Trips, Dele, Lucas, Dembele, Lamela were the standouts for me. I think particularly first half, Verts and Davies on that left side looked really vulnerable to balls played over the top, and to Sessegnon's pace. I would have much preferred Rose as a wing back against that threat. Just stronger and quicker than Davies, and would have pushed Sessegnon back and made us more secure down that flank.

Lucas was my motm. It'll take time for him to integrate into the team, and get a handle on the pace and intensity of PL games. Think his physical conditioning is getting better; love his pressing and chasing and the fact that he's now doing these things throughout the game. Great goal too.

Great to see Dembele, Lamela and Winks get game time, and the first two changed the dynamic of the game when we really needed it.
