Id just like to say Sanchez is class. What a fine young player we've acquired. I had misgivings about the price but he is mature beyond his years.
Told ya
Not you personally!

Don’t agree with this. It shows that Son should be playing against all the teams that come out and play against us, and leave space counter. Against the bus parkers he still doesn’t always convince.Great game by all players!
Son once again showing he should be first choice up top with Kane.
Great win, loved it. But why is everyone Gold-ing this thread??
EDIT - to paraphrase The Princess Bride, you keep using that rating; I do not think it means what you think it means.
Hopefully Lamela will help us against bus parkers.Don’t agree with this. It shows that Son should be playing against all the teams that come out and play against us, and leave space counter. Against the bus parkers he still doesn’t always convince.
Even better as it appears we are ten man team with the invisible Verts who was my MOMMen of the match: the team.
Oh go on then Dele because it's nice to see him happy in his own skin again.
Lloris.........8.......Should have come out not gone back for the goal.
Safe handling and catching again. Distribution fine. But only one world class save.
Trippier......8........Sound solid and another assist. If he was only a bit taller and faster.
Toby...........8........Looking a bit more Toby like today.
Sanchez....7+......Worries me a bit but can't go far wrong under T and V's watchful eyes.
Aurier.........7+......Lively and versatile. Marking Salah I thought he was bound to get sent off. Not even booked. Pathetic.
Winks.........7+......Sound but it was only Wembley, not the Bernebeu so he didn't bother too much
Dele............8.......Love this boy, everything on display today: goals skills,cheek and workrate
Eriksen.......7+.....That's fine Christian you have a couple of games rest we might need you later on.
Son.............8-......Excellent movement and a fine goal. Seems to be getting quicker.
HK..............8........Would have been more but two goals just doesn't cut it any more. Great assist.
Sissoko......energy and power but lack of skill lets him down.
Another game, like Huddersfield where we could afford to close it down at half time. Levy will probably dock their wages and quite right too.
Poch........... Not certain he knows what he's doing but it seems to be working.Carry on Mauricio.
I looked at that starting line up with no apparent physical presence in midfield and 2 left backs on the bench and thought that either Poch had lost his mind or he is a tactical genius . What was noticeable once the game started was that we actually bypassed the midfield totally which is how the first 2 goals came. Let them have possession and hit them on the break. Reverting to that starting line up, adding the pace of Son to the mix was key to that game plan , and Son could easily have scored 3 himself.
So therefore I conclude that Poch has indeed become a tactical genius, changing our formation from match to match in a way that he never used to in his first couple of seasons.
