A really dire match but I thought Dier was class so he gets my vote.
Gazza 8 - very good saves but also lucky today.
Aurier 4 - Lots of mistakes which almost cost us today but involved in the buildup for our goal
Dier 8 - MOTM, dealt with everything really well
Sanchez 6 - struggled with Zaha. He's not as pacy as people have been saying but still decent today.
Verts 7.5 - our best defender for sure.
Rose 6.5 - good first start, still rusty.
Sissoko 6 - Don't get all the criticism today. Wasn't great but no way was he worse than the rest. Contributed to the buildup to our goal.
Winks 5 - Never really got going today especially after his foot injury.
Eriksen 5 - He's been unstable as of late. Good against Real but today he just wasn't at the races again.
Son 4 - Great goal but really poor outside of that.
Kane 5 - Started ok but was never himself after he tweaked his knee. I hope it's nothing serious.
Dembele 6 - Did ok but didn't influence enough.
I don't know why we are unable to up the tempo, movement and combinations in the final third against bus parking tactics. We really struggle to create anything. Poch has to find an answer to this.
Dier MOTM
Vertonghen - our best defender for sure?!
