They have better midfielder than wanayma , have better forward players than alli and their left back is not mug either
Are you just getting your angst out because the dippers drew? Why don't you take your nonsense over to RAWK.

My god. We really have had to put up with some shite over the years. We deserve this.

Rose still pips it for me with his defensive ability.

It's interesting how those two have overtaken each other at different stages. Davies pulling up to Rose again. Perfect competition for that position. Exactly what you want.

He was a stand-out tonight. My MoM.

Can't wait for rose to come back, but I do think it will be tough for him. Davies is on top form and it will take some time for rose to match that level. Great problem to have though...

I hope Toby signs his new contract soon. I don't want to see this solid defence breakup anytime in the near future.

You see I thought Dembele and Eriksen and a very poor first half and was a big reason we conceding so much play to Dortmund. However, in the second half they phenomenal. Credit to them for pushing up a level.

I think the first half we were visibly nervous, we lacked composure on the ball. Well apart Son and Kane who great throughout. The second half we much more like the Tottenham we know.

Agree Eriksen was overrun first half but still so clever when he did find space.
And totally agree Dembele wasn't at his best at all.

Aurier and Sanchez are going to make a big difference for us playing at Wembley. Tripper has done well overall, and has a lovely cross but in terms of an over all package Aurier is another level all together.
Yeah. Talking about another universe. I'd be disappointed if KWP is bumped below Tripps tbh. Think Poch should just bring him through right the fuck now. Aurier/KWP is a sweet situation.

Think Aurier is going to be another BAE, flashes of brilliance but frustrating as hell and will be caught out a fair few times.

First half felt he was our weakest link but everybody on here is raving so must have looked quite different on tv than from my view. Sanchez on the other hand was incredible so quick composed and solid great debut for him.

Dortmund were awesome in first half but we were much the better team in the 2nd half and could have scored 5 on another night.

Buzzing after that win COYS
Agree, Aurier will need tonnes of discipline. He can be too nonchalant and flashy and I don't think Poch will like that. Keep those out, we gonna have one fantastic RB.

Tripps will still chalk up assists I'm sure. He won't be gone so soon. He will be there to keep Aurier's head from growing too big.

So much better in the second half. We stood higher, we were far too defensive and static in the first. Dembele improved massively after probably the worst half I've ever seen of him. Aurier was simply outstanding all game, massive upgrade on Trippier (who I like). Toby, Davies and Kane other standouts.

No way, Trippier is invaluable against the smaller teams with his end product. We'll have a good balance rotating him and Aurier.
Nah. He's not even crossing much now. Does a Walker and cuts inside everytime. Makes much more sense using this season to bring KWP into the fold imo. Don't think it's a huge risk v tripps playing.
