Lloris 10 How lucky are we to have secured his services....real test is to keep him!
Vlad 6.5 Plays with a large pinch of naievity....still smarter than Walker
Fazio 8.5 Immense once again....our best header of the ball for quite a while
Vert 8 Up for it today against the equally arrogant RVP....did well
Davies 7.5 Likeable simplicity....knows he is there to defend, unlike......
Stambouli 6.5 Fair effort considering the early card...not a starter
Mason 6.5 Still getting back from sprained ankle....reasonable
Townsend 7 Put in a good shift to help Vlad...best game for a while
Chadli 7 Thought he stepped up from Leicester...hard to know what motivates him
Kane 8 You get what is on the label....lots of outsiders singing his praises
Eriksen 7.5 In amongst it....needs to work on a few smiles
Dembele 7 Got stuck in as we got on top
Lamela 6.5 Buzzed around in little time on field
A good bounce back after the Leicester fade-out. Quite understand the changes....Poch being smart across a busy period plus ensuring we don't overdo it with the returning Walker or still maturing likes of Bentaleb.
Rode our luck first period but hey we have probably the worlds best keeper playing for us. The opposition swarmed and dominated for long periods but then they are Manchester Utd! Thought we dealt with RVP and his forward mates well...the born again wing back Young being their most effective player. Who said you can't play 3 5 2 in the EPL? They did it very well for 45 minutes.
At half time Poch clearly said that if we stay deep we will concede so up we charged and started winning the midfield ...putting their defence on the back foot in the process. Dembele won and held the ball well....Lamela's energy also a plus as we got on top. Across this period Poch will rest and shuffle....worked well today. In the medium term IMO our best midfield is
.......Lamela Mason Bentalab Chadi
........................Eriksen
in what is a 4 4 1 1. Neither Paulinho of Capoue merit a spot....the latter slows our play down to a crawl....any defensive protection not being worth the price of him in the central midfield. See Walker and Bentaleb in for Chelsea....lets hope we have a go like we did today
