Oh, and I love Harry Winks! I really do... He moves the ball so quick!! I think Winks and Dier will be an awesome pair deep in the midfield..

Just not quite as good as Dembele and Wanyama

Boufal is skinning us but we didn't want him because he can be a bit of a dick

He did nothing of the sort. Nothing special whatsoever.

that's a big win, make no mistake.

IT was indeed. These are the games that we would have lost in the past l. We are still very much in the mix. If we can stay connected to the top by mid February we've got a great couple of months of fixtures....

Lampard had as much freedom as Alli when he played with Makelele and Essien. Just be fucking grateful we've got a 20 year old game changer rather than carping on with semantics.

Lampard was much more involved in midfield game play, and saw much more ball, and was much less wasteful with it, albeit often in a 3, not a 2.

He's changed no more games positively this season than Son has. He's got talent, and he had a good second half tonight, but he's been fucking woeful for too many games this season, and even tonight in the first half, goal aside, he continually gave the ball trying stupid nutmegs (I stop counting when he lost his fourth).

I don't think it's all his fault, personally I think we won't get the best out of Alli until we can get him into a similar Lampard/Pogba type role and he develops better composure with maturity.

The expectations of him are outrageous. Unless he is the uber-metronome, chief playmaker, goal scoring, assist making wunderkid every game, people get their knickers in a twist.

He was everywhere today and part of most good things we did. Had a couple of assists and should have had a third when Rose shanked his shot wide. That's pretty decent in my book.

People forget that if Eriksen was any better than he is, he wouldn't be with us.

Yeah, but he wasn't mustard.

He heads it into Son's path, pretty huge deflection

@Ionman34 how can you disagree?! It's clear as day

It's going to the right back

On 5Live? The only thing they've got wrong is saying that Redmond stumbled into Alli accidentally. He clearly did it on purpose.

Bingo, just watched it and said the same.

Ignore them BC.. even if there was a deflection Eriksen had the vision to see that pass quickly

Enters thread. Shakes head. Leaves thread.

How about we don't argue about who's assist was worst in a 4-1 win?

Talk about creating arguments for the sake of it.

Winks makes a pass then runs forward, giving his teammate an option to pass back to him. This is what we need.

He's my favourite.

Son would have had to stop and run back five yards to collect. It's curling away from him.

I'm sorry, but I do not agree, that ball is hit with zip and was going to land straight at Son's feet, not 5 yards behind him.

No worries. We shall agree to disagree.

Fair play. When in Rome

to be as progessive as we need to be in some games, not ponderous, then a midfield of Dier and Winks will be much more energetic with ball moved far quicker. Combination of Wanyama and Dembele means too many touches thus slowing play down.

JimmyG2 · Dec 28, 2016

Not a penalty because the original offence
when he grabs Dele's arm is outside the area.
Free kick should have been given from there
so no sending off either.

But I didn't see it so the ref was probably right.
Aren't they always?

He plays differently to Lampard, for sure - because he's got the legs to go beyond the striker and behind the defence. Lampard never had that and adapted his game suitably, joining in the the attack late at the right time. Different players.

As I say, appreciate him, because he might not be here forever.
