A few good performances, but some very average ones. Hats off to Winks, who I've been critical of, he had a fine game.
Davies looked shaky whenever he was ran at, he's so flat footed sometimes FFS, which resulted in him giving away clumsy fouls. Decent cross for Kane's winner though.
Lucas was dangerous, I'm a bit confused about why he was subbed, I can only imagine it's down to fatigue.
Dele was on the whole wasteful, although did play a great ball to Davies for the winner. Let de Jong go for their goal, although he shouldn't have been marking him in the first place.
Gazzaniga was a steady pair of hands once more, I feel comfortable with him in goal, which I can't say about Vorm.
Massive game against Inter now, we ideally need to win by more than one goal. A one goal win leaves us even head-to-head and on GD. That would mean we'd need to beat Barca at the Nou Camp by more than Inter beat PSV at the San Siro, unless I'm mistaken.
COYS!

Because we were all over them its easy to forget that Gaz made a couple of decent saves and deserves a 7.5. Nice to have a keeper in for a CL game who isn't trying to lose us the match.

Yes Gazza made a couple of really good saves. There was always the chance PSV would nick a second goal on the break, and they nearly did.

I will say that I loved how attacking the lineup was - I've been wanting Erikssen or Dele to play deeper for a while now. Obviously better teams may overrun us but I still love it

Probably time to backtrack on Aurier, Sandy, he was absolutely woeful yesterday. I was at the game and his first touch was dreadful, comfortably the worst of our side. There was even a moment in the 1st half where he shepherded the ball out for a goal kick when everyone in the stadium could see it’d be a corner.
I don’t think Trippier is great, and we probably need to buy a new RB, but he’s certainly better than Aurier based on last night’s display.

Although Trippiers cameo appearance was worst than Aurier though.
Gave away his trademark free kicks, got done for pace and put in poor crosses.
Also did his shout at someone else when he made a mistake thing
I’d happily sell 3 of our 5 FBs and I’m only keeping Rose out of nostalgia tbf

How you give Eriksen a 6 is beyond me , floating around like a fairy all game, giving the ball away and losing nearly every tackle
hes becoming a very average player and has regressed as a player over last 2 yrs
4 at best for that performance
----------------------------------------------------------------------
He's far from a 'very average player'. Jesus.,

Agree, Eriksen is still one of our best players.
