See - this just misses the brilliance of Alli - and why he is among the first on the team sheet. He makes plays in games that create scoring chances. He is there for those moments - not to be a typical creative #10 for 90 minutes. Best football mind of our AMs.

9 tackles by an attacking midfielder is ridiculous.

I voted Lamela but I am fascinated by the contribution of Moussa - not just in this game- because he does so much that is good and dominant. His balance is extraordinary, his strength immense and his retention of possession is an example to the rest of the team. I'd really like to see 8 to 10 goals per season from him to call him the complete player.
I remember reading somewhere that he had been considered a potential Real Madrid recruit because of his on-the-ball skills.
I sincerely believe we are a better side when he plays.

I feel like goals have become an underrated statistic. I don't care if Dele sits by the corner flag and plays with his dick for 85 minutes...a player who pretty consistently pops up with crucial goals--even if he does absolutely nothing else--is priceless. The manager clearly knows that productivity ultimately trumps all else, so he persists with him even when he's not at his best.
Leicester are a pretty good example of why all the fancy metrics and the run of play can be thrown out if players consistently make decisive contributions at key moments.

Everyone played well today.
Lloris was only called on once, but he answered.
Rose and Walker both played terrifically on the outside.
Alderweireld and Vertonghen simply owned the center of the pitch - alderweireld slightly more adventurous on attack including the excellent goal
Dier and Dembele both played their roles well - Dier sitting on a Yellow played very disciplined, and Dembele simply could not be tackled.
Eriksen - great overall game. He has improved massively with his defending since the start of the season - great energy and work rate.
Alli - I understand why he can frustrate, but he just knows has to make plays in the attacking end.
Lamela - for all his faults, he never stops playing, and I think that energy is infectious. Deserved goal and assist today.
Kane - no goals, but again, his workrate all over the pitch is important.
Simply stated, this was a great team victory. Players were disciplined and kept the pressure on United all game.

Our left side was really good today. I gave it to Rose, but he can share it with Eriksen. Eriksen is the most underrated player this season. Rose completely owned our left side today. United had absolutely no answer to him and Eriksen. Also some really good interplay between them and Kane when he drifts to the left or comes deep. We looked dangerous every time.
But that being said, everyone gets a high ranking. No one played badly, although Alli and Lamela gets overrated a bit. They were poor to average up until the goal, especially on the ball. After that they were immense.

Danny Rose ran with pace
His cross for Erik was f***ing ace
He launched a shot into outer space
And cleared a corner with his face
Well done Danny.

I actually thought Alli was pretty poor until the goal but that's one of his great strengths, he is still likely to get into those positions even when off colour.
I'm a huge Eriksen fan, he does it simple but rarely wastes a pass and has more time than anyone else.
Dembele is a freak, how do you stop him taking the ball from you?!
Lamela has made me eat my words and then some.
Danny Rose has three lungs.

I gotta say how much humble pie I must eat due to how fantastic Rose has been this season. Best left back in the league by a country mile. I used to think he was a liability and just didn't get it. Glad I'm not a football scout.

Yup he was excellent today.
Missed a sitter and was struggling to get into the game but almost through sheer force of will played a pivotal role.
Has become the player I didn't think he was going to after two seasons.

Scary good.
Special mention for Jan today, slotted in after months out and didn't look rusty at all.

Eriksen 7 was he that much better than last week?
