Above Chel53a.

Haha!

Now I want a Saudi Sportswashing Machine win! Seeing Cheatski in the relegation spots after 5 games would just be brilliant!

 

[Papercut]

Lets not forget that sunderland hit the woodwork twice and we still won.

Haha! yeah - and the ref wasn't a total homer!

 

[Raziel]

Poor overall, best players were Dier & Mason

Unbelievably the subs made a huge difference, partially because Townsend actually wanted to go wide

Kane looked knackered ...

Onward and upward .. COYS

 

[jabbathehut]

Thought Townsend and Walker did ok today.From about the 60th minute we did look stronger and fitter.Very much still a work in progress and we could easily had been 1 or 2 down .Still a win is a win no to carry it forward

Eric Dier, my MOTM, future captain, King Mk II, and eventual Spurs legend

 

[LCLC]

Turgid.

Tbf townsend turned the game, showed directness and created space - ESP for the chances we created

 

[afsoc4life]

We won!

Did Pantylion get Mason in the groin?

 

[GrimsbyYid]

Hold my hands up. Subs made a big difference, Townsend dangerous, but lamela looked absolutely excellent. With eriksen injured lets play him in the number 10 again.

Best game from mason. Looked knackered early in the second half but got stronger and stronger before the injury.

Kane's performance is terrifying though.

 

[Papercut]

Seeing the replays, it's a knock to the left knee and hopefully not too bad.

 

[paxtonwolf]

15 passes for the goal. When Arsenal scored a goal like that 2 seasons ago? (Wheelchair) they were claiming it the best ever PL goal. Lets see how many mentions Sky give mason's goal in the next few weeks?

 

[Mumorn]

dier was outstanding. motm for me.

Yes. Give him a break on Thursday v Pacamac and hopefully fighting fit for Palace

Did Pantylion get Mason in the groin?

He kicked him in the thigh and knee and looked to me on hindsight to have done it deliberately

 

[Papercut]

Jees - Dwight and his clothes! Trying to blend in with the stadium behind him!

 

[paxtonwolf]

dier was outstanding. motm for me.

Sky MOTM too

First half, we were clueless and disjointed,and so sloppy with even the basics. Second we improved a little but still we had 60-65% possession and didn't do a lot. Overall a really poor to average performance which given our poor start, I'd have expected us to really be up for this from the start and at least attempt to control the game. Good impact from Lamela and Townsend though and obviously a massive result.

He did, the ref really should have carded him post goal.

Thing is, Mason knew he was going to get clattered, went in without hesitation anyway

Always gonna be tricky when a home side decides to play on the counter.
