kane, hard to argue with a hat-trick, despite plenty top-top performances

 

[yusrisafri]

9 - Kulusevski
8.5 - Romero, Bentancur
8 - Davies, Sessegnon, Emerson
7.5 - Dier, Hojbjerg
7 - Kane, Son, Lloris

 

[GutBucket]

Deki MotM but plenty of players were great, especially starting WBs and Bentancur(have to love this guy).

 

[matthew.absurdum]

Yeah it should be Kulu but I just can't resist to vote for Emerson "The bicycle kick" Royal

 

[Zippy1980]

Kulu MOM. We need Sonny and Kane at their best if we are gonna beat Chelski

 

[Klinsmannesque]

I just love Kulusevski but the biggest hole off an injury is Bentancur imo. He’s such a classy composed player, everyone else we have a plan b/some kind of alternative but I don’t think we do with him

7.5 - Dier, Hojbjerg
7 - Kane, Son, Lloris

Cant argue with that excpt PEH who wasnt worth the same rating as Dier. Cant wait for Bissouma to get fit and play with Bentacur

 

[Nicki78]

On way home and still buzzing from Deki performance. At times in the first half he was playing a different game to everyone else.

Good performances elsewhere too of course but wow!

 

[DenverSpur]

Lots of good performances. Romero, Sess(1st PL goal and could have had a hat trick), Emerson(2assists) and Kulu(goal and assist). Many will, understandably, give MOM to Kulu who was outstanding but I’m giving it to Bentancur who was sheer class. Everything he does is so effortless. It’s like have Berbatov in midfield. It’s mind blowing that Juventus didn’t think these two were good enough. Probably our best double signing since Ardiles and Villa. If our new signing have anything like the effect of our January duo we are going to have a very formidable team.

Huh?

Completely agree. Love PEH but played a few strange passes today.

 

[Dannyspur]

The way they set up stifled Kane and Sonny, but left us with so much space out wide. Kulu, Bentancur and Emerson outstanding

 

[journeyman]

Kulu outstanding, but huge shout-outs too for Sessegnon and Emerson, both putting in really strong early showings in positions where they face big competition to keep their place.

Superb that we can net 4 at home without Kane or Son scoring, or Kane assisting, or either even playing particularly well.

Same XI next week, I reckon.

 

[TEESSIDE1]

Kulusevski was on another planet, he was exceptional.

Team wise Sessegnon and Emerson were outstanding, defended well and Sessegnon especially was a serious threat going forward. Both showed great composure and decision making.

Everyone had a good game and the only ‘slight’ disappointment was both Kane and Son weren’t quite at the races.

 

[mdharris]

Kulusevski MOM. He was exceptional.

But shout-outs to Bentancur, who dominated in the middle, and Sessegnon, who was taking up great positions. Both played very well too.

 

[fishhhandaricecake]

Lloris 6 did what he had to do and great save in 2nd half to keep our 2 goal lead

Emerson 7 some poor moments but grew into the game, 2 assists, well done, keeps improving.

Romero 7 solid

Dier 8 solid and lovely goal

Davies 7 solid

Sessengon 8.5 great goal and another ruled out for offside, this is the player we thought we’d bought years ago , good on him

PEH 7 worked hard and good all round performance

Bentancur 7.5 class player

Kulu 9 phenomenal today

Kane 7 didn’t get his goal but linked play very well

Son 6 a bit off the pace imo but understandable 1st game back

Team 8/10, sloppy 1st goal conceded but then great comeback and created tons of chances, lovely to watch.

Top of the league and on we go.

COYS

No way past Kulusevski here.

I'm still not sold on Emerson's attacking contribution. His second assist was good, but his first incredibly lucky. As long as it works I won't complain, but with the space our right side is getting, we need someone who's better in the final third in that role to maximise our potential. That said, we're not having many games like this before Kulusevski is getting the Son treatment and there'll be much less space.

 

[Cavehillspur]

Quite a few candidates but ive actually gone for Emerson, dude was popping up everywhere and that breakaway for the 3rd goal was brilliant.
