Match Ratings Ratings vs Arsenal

[DenverSpur]

Hojbjerg MOM for me. He was everywhere, breaking up play and setting up counterattacks and even getting up in attack himself. Special mention for Berwijn who I thought worked his socks off offensively and defensively, helping out Aurier.

Son is not getting enough love here. Pretty much everyone was good today, but he scored a worldy that changed the game. And then he kept his composure when the 4 on 2 counter started to fall apart and got it to kane in a position in which he could still score (albeit another exceptional shot required).

What he did is what separated this game from 0-0 at chelsea.

There were several candidates today, but I felt they all worked as a team and all benefited from that, so I gave it as a team effort.

 

[walton]

Sissoko. Come at me.

It’s a fair shout. Another game where he demonstrated his immense value to the team.

 

[Spurs 1961]

Have to give it to Son because goals win games and his as outstanding. Also he had a hand in the second, a great strike by Kane. You can defend backs to the wall, many teams do it well, but without scoring you win nothing. It allows JM to finish with eight defensive players as he likes because the points were won.

No bad performances though. One thing I do like is how we have some old fashioned defending, meaning that sometimes clearing the ball into row z is needed. This allows the team to get back into shape and is nice to see after years of watching players without the necessary skills trying to dribble out from the back. I believe in attacking football, in taking risks but taking risks in your own third of the pitch is a poor idea.

 

[Montalbano]

Not everyone's cup of tea but a phenomenal team performance and Mourinho masterclass. The entire team worked their socks off and performed their duties excellently. Our forwards took their chances and the remainder of the team didn't give Arsenal a look on goal.

MOTM: Team. COYS

Worked hard again doing defensive duties which is great. But we play with 3 strikers , and personally I never feel he is gonna score or create right now
All the weight of scoring is on Kane and Son

 

[Strikeb4ck]

I thought Toby was outstanding today.

 

[JimmyG2]

It's a team game and this was a team preformance.
Weak link anywhere and everything goes to waste.
There were none tonight.
To win you also need skill and composure up front.
We had this too and the usual suspects
both assisted and scored a goal apiece.
Beginning to believe.
Me and them.

Disagree. Right player for the current circumstances

Great team performance. But Aurier gets my vote. That interception in our box when I was convinced Arsenal were about to equalise and set up the breakaway for the second. And some of the headers and tackles, were brilliantly timed. I was one of the mob with pitchforks baying for him to be sold. Not now. I'm not scared he will give away a penalty every time the opposition get in the box. I really don't see how Doherty wrests the first team place away from Serge.

 

[OPModric]

Hard to pick motm when almost everyone plays perfect. Amazing goals by Son and Kane. Toby back at his best and Höjbjerg, Aurier and Sissoko are so important.

I also really like Bergwijns ability to keep the ball within the team.

 

[popstar7]

My favorite thing about this year is that when we win, it is very hard to pick a MOTM. It is such a team performance all around. Lloris has had big moments, Aurier and Reguilon have had some great games, Dier is a rock, Hojbjerg is everywhere, no need to even mention what Kane and Son do. The team is so well balanced that picking out just one player is difficult, which is a fantastic issue to have.

Yeah, so many players are delivering week in week out. The 'Team Work' option seems the right one more games than not lately.

 

[tommyt]

Genuinely feel it would be unfair to single out one player, though some fantastic individual performances.

Team Spurs!!

 

[wirE]

Once again my vote goes to Hojbjerg. Boss

Hoj was a ROCK ROCK ROCK

Can you smell what Toby is cookin?!?!

 

[DiamondLites]

Doherty had been a bit of a disappointment, but the effect his arrival had had on Serge has been worth every penny. Who knew players play better when there is competition for their place?

 

[kaz Hirai]

Disagree. Right player for the current circumstances

Fair, I certainly appreciate the discipline of him

I'd just like a little more than 0 goals, 0 assists in 14 games from a forward , just 2 in each column greatly eases the burden

PEH on another planet today.
