Lloris -6- Not troubled at any stage but some of his kicking was bad.
Naughton -6- A decent right back, was troubled by his winger on a few occasions but was assured throughout.
Dawson -6- Did well with Crouch but gets marked down for some of his bad long balls when under no pressure and the challenge that should've led to a pen. I don't think he got enough on it.
Chiriches -6.5- Swept up well and kept it tidy.
Fryers -6- Nothing to comment about. The lad looked good and provided some good crosses early on.
Lennon -7- First half he looked a menace but wasn't in it much in the second half up until his goal.
Paulinho -7- Shame about the injury because he was looking so good up until then. Overcomplicated things at times and still needs to dig out his shooting boots.
Dembele -8- If this bloke could play like this in every game we would have a £30 million man on our hands. He defended well, scored a cracker and constantly beat his man to start an attack.
Eriksen -7- He was all over the place and linked up play wherever he could. A lot of our best periods in the game heavily involved him.
Soldado -6.5- Great pen, good linkup play but a horrendous miss. Still waiting for him to hit some form, but he's looking better each week now.
Ade -7.5- He was at the heart of everything, but for that miss he'd be my MOTM.
Capoue -6- Steadied the ship and gave Dembele the freedom to go forward.
Lamela -6- Started really brightly but then faded, then again the game was already won.
Chadli -n/a- Only because he wasn't on long enough to make an impression.
TS has had us for less than two weeks and seems to be getting a lot more out of the players than AVB. We will find out more as we play against some of the tougher teams in the league, but so far things are looking much brighter. I was worried before kick off but the players are playing well and Sherwood can take a chunk of praise for that.
