I thought he looked effective on the left cutting in. Played some good balls into soldado and Kane.

First half an hour he was on the right iirc. Looked fine perhaps, but he created little to nothing, struggled to get involved. No big surprise as they were sitting back and not giving him any space.
The game changed after the goal obviously and probably Lennon would have created stuff from the right too with the space that opened up. But that doesn't change the fact that he was creating stuff from the left including some of our biggest chances.

Funny how ppl can see different things from the same game.
I thought we were awful, 1st half they created 3/4 half to good chances. We were 2nd to every all. Robbie offered nothing up front (not that we created much for him) felt like we were asleep.
2nd half we started well then went back to our first half performance, but I thought we finished the last 5mins well.

I thought there were a lot of encouraging signs. Without Kane, Eriksen, Chadli and Mason at least that are starters for sure right now imo (as well as Rose and Walker). We struggled to create when they sat back very deep, no big surprise, it's a difficult exercise. We still dominated for extended patches, and apart from a couple of breaks where they looked dangerous we looked in control.
Opened up after the goal and we showed our class, should have been 2 or 3 by the time Hugo had to make that wonderful save.
Vlad looked good just about throughout, good performance from him and Vertonghen. Great to see Bentaleb back and he looked composed and cool as always, will be an asset going forward I think. Lamela was very good I thought. Kane also very good after he came on.
Question marks over Stambouli defensively against their breaks, but the fact is that most defensive midfielders struggle to keep up with really quick players so it's hardly some shocking fact. Otherwise he looked good and got his goal too. Think he deserves a PL start soon.

I hope these Bassbud clowns have checked their HQ's smoke alarms recently.

I give up!! Seems like most people here are just pre-programmed to be as negative as possible! If we don't win by 7-8 goals, we're awful, rubbish, sh*t, useless, you name it! I'm so f*ucking fed up of all this negativity!
FFS!! We won, played some nice football vs a team that was set up to defend and counter. That's difficult to break down for any team! When Soldado and Lamela start hitting the target, more goals will come! Have a little faith and stop picking on every little mistake and only seeing the negative sides!!!
This is my club, my one and only club! COYS!!

Were you expecting us to just walk out and crush them no problems?

How long are you willing to hold your breath?
The definition of insanity is playing Soldado up front and expecting him to score a goal.

Got to agree with Kandi, the second half was very promising and if not for some poor finishing as well as a couple of poor crosses we could easily have finished 3-4 up. The wastefulness is a problem but the chances were being made and that's one of the biggest things we have needed to see since Stoke. For all those bashing the inverted winger system, it actually worked as both Lamela and Lennon still held the width a lot of the time. Both of them looked very dangerous cutting in, with Davies and Naughton getting up to support and overlap at times (not enough perhaps). Paulinho did alright tonight too although some of his flicks were not what was needed he pressed well from the front when pushed up and screened the back adequately too.
Stambouli though showed again that he deserves a shot in the league team although he did look shattered at the 70 minute mark. The goal aside, he kept his discipline well and held his position well as well as organising those around him.

Top man! I agree with Mumorn...
No I didn't. So progress then? Not really sure what to say, except I really didn't think it was a good performance against from what I understand is not a very good/ poor team.
