Everyone played well but eriksen was different gravy.
The whole team was gravy mate, Eriksen was Mustard!

One of the more one sided MOTM votes this season for me, Eriksen was sublime.
It’s saddening to see how obstinate some can be regarding Sissoko. I made the observation last week that he seems to be growing in confidence, and today he kept that up. It’s interes to note that the team seem to have a great deal of trust in him, as they were passing to him a great deal as the game progressed. Tells a tale that far more than the bile filled rhetoric we read on here all too regularly. I love seeing players turn things around, Lamela did it, now Sissoko is doing the same.
On Lamela, he had a great game today, finding pockets of space everywhere and exploiting them mercilessly. Tenacity, class and a lovely curled and confident finish with his right foot. Who knew?
I’ve seen multiple pundits saying that Swansea were shocking in the aftermath, without a single one recognising that we relentlessly hassled them throughout the 90 minutes. It was evident that the players knew they had a decent break coming up, so left it out on the pitch. We were pressing them in extra time at 3-0 up FFS!
Lastly on Moura. I’m really liking what I’m seeing here. Danny Mills actually made a very good observation that he’s not up to speed yet with the English game, so many things he’s doing well that are just not quite there yet. I’m tipping him to be our standout player next season with a Poch preseason under his belt. I’m very excited to see him tear this league apart, as I’m obviously convinced he will do.
Good viewing today with some really lovely Football played throughout. Looking forward to MOTD.
But the recent signs are good no?I think Sissoko had a good game and made a real difference in his 10 minute cameo last week. He however has more bad games than good ones unfortunately.
Sissoko season to date :
Today :
Where did you get that bottom image from? That is the spitting image of my dog!
Vorm - Did what he needed to well and great double save 7/10
Davies - Comfortable game 6/10
Trippier - Comfortable game 6/10
Sanchez - Decent game but could have been punished on a couple of situations 6/10
Jan - Decent game not put under real pressure and never in trouble 7/10
Dier - Good game could of sloppy passes but general good with a great effort on goal 7/10
Sissoko - Really good game today great aggression and energy and driving from deep. Passing was decent also 8/10
Lamela - Really decent performance and great goal getting back to his best. 8/10
Eriksen - Amazing 9/10
Lucas - Played well will improve with fitness linked up well with other attacking players impressive tracking back 7/10
Son - Did well played for the team harshly ruled offside for disallowed goal 7/10
Vorm 8 - 2 crucial saves
Trippier 7 - got forward well
Sanchez 6 - Abraham bullied him a few times but he did ok
Jan -7 usual Jan
Davies 6 - usual Davies
Dier 8 - very solid
Sissoko -8 one of his best performances for us!
Lucas 7 - very bright
Eriksen 9 - brilliant display and great goals
Lamela 8 - great goal and link up play, baxk to his very best
Son - 7 did well, unlucky on offside goal.
Great performance now let’s get into that final!
The interwebs.
Eriksen (MOTM) and Lamela were top class, shout out to Sissoko for suprisingly being very good. Apart from that 4* for everyone else. Only negative was some of Dier's dodgy passing. Still, excellent performance.
But the recent signs are good no?
Don’t get me wrong, Sissoko has been majorly underwhelming since we got him, but I can see definite signs of progression both in his self confidence and his overall influence on games.
Nothing pleases me more than seeing a Spurs player improve, so it irks me when our so called “supporters” take every opportunity to dig him out after a mistake, ignoring everything good that he’s done either prior to or following said mistake.
The same occurred with Lamela. Prior to his injury there were “fans,” who had made their mind up about him, who ignored the plethora of positives to focus on the few negatives. Even now he still gets it, despite showing just what a quality part of the team he is.
Unfortunately we have people who would rather hate on a player than support him, their own need to say “I told you so” far outweighing any desire to see any and every Spurs player be a success on the pitch. There are few teams that can match us in that regard and it’s sickening really.
I would love to see Sissoko getting regular MOTM votes here, not because I’m in any way a fan boy, but simply because I’m a Spurs fan and he wears the shirt.
LOL, you don't need commentary to tell the difference between Vorm and Hugo surely?
I'm not pissed I'm afraid, and I only said some, not all, and i never said he was worse then the rest. I was trying to make a point about how good we were but I guess that missed the target here.....I've got to assume that you are pissed Madam as Dier's "dodgy passing" was nearly 100% pass completion from around100 passes... he slightly over clubbed one to Trips late in the 2nd half that TBH i'd have said was more on K.T than Eric but that's just my eyes.
It was 100% at half time, just checked 93% at full time (128 passes) 137 touches, he gets a lot of shit does Dier and granted he's not Iniesta but he's a good player doesn't deserve half the shit he gets IMHO
Sorry i'm not having a pop it's just i swear some Spurs fans eyes are painted on a lot of the time.
