Lloris - 7 - Dominant in the air against good crosses, very solid
Trippier - 6 - Looked a little out his depth today and really struggled to get into the game unfortunately
Dier - 7.5 - Well taken goal, adapted well in midfield, did everything he was asked
Alderweirled - 8 - Our best player on the pitch and my MotM, makes the game look effortless
Vertonghen - 7 - Solid performance
Davies - 6.5 - More involved than Trippier but not a lot
Winks - 7 - Looked really solid until he went off injured
Wanyama - 6.5 - Injury hit him early on and he struggled to shake it off
Dele - 7.5 - Ran solidly for 90 minutes, working constantly for the team creating and moving the ball forward. Bad finishing, but great assist.
Eriksen - 7.5 - Similar to Dele, these two had a horrendously difficult job to do today as they were constantly outnumbered but both did well.
Janssen - 7 - Good hold up play and made a nuisance, good considering the minutes he has played
Dembele - 7 - Good performance off the bench, looked very assured
Sissoko - 3 - Less the said the better
Son - 6.5 - Well taken goal
Poch - 6 - Started with the wrong lineup and injuries forced his hand; why Sissoko came on instead of Son I will not know
What a win though #COYS

Highlight of the match was that Son miss before the goal. He hits the side netting when he just needed to square it for Dele to have a sitter; goes for goal and Dele screams 'SONNY!'

Well, Son must have seen wot Dele did with his first open goal chance. So decided it was better for him to have a go hisself!

I thought Wanyama was worth more than 6.5. He was dominating the middle, which is why their thugs took him out of the game.
I can't believe that ref did nuthin for a running kick in the back and head pull at the same time.

Agree with the op

Just catching up with highlights.
Why did poch put Sissoko on when the half was pretty much over the only to change the system?
Why not wait till halftime then change system and put Son the wing instead of Sissoko.
Baffling imo

If you put yourself in the manager's position, instead of some "fan" in the stands you might understand why.
Wanyama was injured. And Pochettino is still trying to get something out of Levy's 30 mill investment. Obviously Sissoko is showing Poch something of his European form in training.

Sissoko is money we'll never get back. Poor technically, limited footballing intelligence and doesn't create or score enough. I've never seen anything from him to suggest he was worth buying.
Anyway enough of the negative crap, the positive is that we won and are a step closer to CL football and we've closed the gap on Chelsea. I still don't see us winning the league but it's all about us having that mindset of being the hunters rather than the hunted.

Dembele came on for Waynama
Sissoko literally came on then the whistle went for half time.
No need to make a sub until after half time. Would give him more time to change system and put the right player on.
