3 wins out of 3 and back within 6 points of top 4 isn’t bad but performances need to improve defensively.
Gazza - 6 Needs to hold more
Vert - 7 Never went over halfway in this system...wont start Wednesday
Toby - 7 Liked what he did
Sanchez - 7 Raw but committed
Aurier - 7 Good going forward and decent outlet not liking the gaps left behind though.
Dier - 4 chasing shadows and not much else
Ndombele - 6 Won't see him start against United...very hot and cold
Sissoko - 7.5 Lovely to see him get the goal, a cracker but clocked off for one of the goals
Dele - 9 Floating on air. Flicks and touches coming off, making those runs again!
Kane - 6 lots of off the ball work but not good enough on it
Son - 7 Had too to do far too much goal side recovery stuff in this system...still good enough to make a couple goals
Moura 6 Buzzed around
GLC - n/a
Winks - n/a
Onto United where if we get a result will really push us on over the busy period.

Thought NDombele was at least a 7.5, he played well I thought. Excellent passer
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I thought he had a decent 15 min spell either side of half time but other than that weren’t great.
Also annoyed me when I see Kane sprint past him to do a recovery run and sprint past him again to join in a attack.
Honestly think he might struggle under Mourinho if he don’t start putting more effort in than he is atm.
On he’s absolutely brilliant

I felt we lost control of the game when he was subbed
I do agree he needs to sharpen up defensively. That said, he made 4 tackles while Dier, who is there purely to protect the defence, made 1

Ndombele looks laboured at times. Clumsy tackle on the edge of the box which lead to Wilson's free kick. Still looks like he needs time to adjust to Prem.

Yea the sub was wrong as it put a Sissoko/Dier CM was meant we had no ball retention.
Dier was just awful mate. Getting caught the wrong side so many times chasing shadows.
Hopefully Mourinho has seen this isn’t the Dier he wanted to buy all those years ago

Yep. I hope this isn't his blind spot. Dier doesn't even just sit, he annoyingly tries to play higher up the pitch than he should
I reckon he rates himself
Must buy a DM but for now NDombele should be paired with Lo Celso or Winks

I think the same thing. I mean plenty of players we've brought in have needed time to adjust - Eriksen, Moura, Son, Dembele, Dier, Lamela. Not until the second season or onwards have we seen the best of them. I suspect it'll be the same with N'Dombele.

Dier covered the most ground on the pitch yesterday - 11.91km
I don't even know what he's supposed to be doing out there

Covered the most ground what a waste of energy

There was one time the ball was gently passed across him to a Boournmouth player. It made me realise how slow he is. Maybe he will sharpen and drop a few stone now that he is playing.
