I gave Lamela MOM, deal with it!

Mason as key player.. Lamela MOTM
No he wasn't quiet at all. He was central to most of our attacking play and there were at least 2 or 3 occasions where could've had a chance at scoring if the other players had made the right decision. He pressed throughout the match as well.Lamela with a great goal but goes quiet throughout the game as always.
Lamela MotM first half but Eriksen overall, absolutely class. Mason was great until he went off. Lloris was...Lloris. Davies and Bentaleb had off days but kept it together. Verts was good. Fazio ok but got caught out a few times. Kane another great performance and yet another goal. Stambo did ok, doesn't really suit him playing next to another 'defensive' CM. Special mention to Chadli, played the wide forward role superbly, even if we was little quiet.

Front four all played well. We missed Mason in the second half. Lloris' distribution is woeful. Bentaleb and Davies have been excellent of late, but were poor today. Vertonghen struggled against Ings. He's very talented, but he isn't a great defender. His body shape when one on one is poor, gets beaten too easily.
I agree. I thought that both Davis and Bentaleb were poor. Davies was not positive enough and seemed frightened, Bentaleb seemed to have picked up where Dembele left off, which is moving the ball sideways and backwards while miss placing the intended pass.Lloris 6

Mason was key? Mason was the weak link in midfield in the first half and the last two games. He is weak defensively and does not use the ball as well as Bentaleb. Mason needs to be replace for our cm to be solid and provide protection to our defence.
In the second half burnley was hitting long balls bypassing our midfield but stambouli and bentaleb provided better support for the defence allowing Fazio to attack burnley's long balls without fearing leaving a gap behind him.
