So you not did notice the number of headers Eriksen won? There were about five! He also won at least one tackle. Yes. Eriksen!Oddly enough, I felt Eriksen, Alli and Kane were our worst players in that half, then one assists and one scores! And that is, ultimately, what they are there for.
This is a tough game, Wanyama on a yellow will be a difficult situation for us. We'll need a 2nd goal imo. And Eriksen, Ali and Kane have to do better in the 2nd half, I think we can hurt them -- especially when we catch them in possession in their defence/midfield area.
Those yellows for Wanyama and Alli (who was booked for f*cking what? Expressing happiness to other human beings?) will make things a bit harder in the second half. Overall, I felt like the Dembele-Wanyama combo did well in the middle third of the field, but didn't provide an impetus going forward - luckily we have the lead now, so that isn't *as big* of an issue as it once was.
If Poch makes changes, I hope it's for Wanyama, because I don't trust Atkinson not to spontaneously send him off for, I dunno, acknowledging a ballboy's existence or something. Otherwise, we're in a good spot - just have to hope Chelsea don't get fired up to the extent that Hazard, Costa and Pedro (all of whom have caused us one or two problems) start running the game in the second half.
