The Last Man Standing 17/18
Lloris ------ 6----Not much to do. Came for some crosses very confidently.
Naughton - 6----Much better on the right. some good early combinations with Lennon.
Dawson --- 6----Marshalled Crouch well. One very timely tackle. Again though he was not troubled so much by their attack.
Chriches -- 6----Great on the ball at bringing it out. Some timely tackles and good passing from the back. An improved game from him.
Fryers ---- 6-----Some nice runs up the left showing his pace. Had space to move into with Eriksen moving inside.
Lennon --- 9-----Some great runs in behind. Created two gilt edge chances for both the forwards and go a nice goal. As well as covering Naughton.
Dembele -- 8-----Great on the ball, shruging off challenge after challenge. Got forward more and a nice nice goal.
Paulinhio -- 9-----Was bossing it in the first half. Great runs, creative passing and all around energy. Fatty Adams did him in the second like he seems to do to one of our players every season.
Eriksen ---- 6----Some nice passing at times, kept the ball moving. Dead ball play was terrible from him today either over hit or hit the first man.
Adebayor - 8-----Some good team work with Soldado. Good hole up play and running and won the penalty. Missed a sitter from Lennon and seems to like shouting at Lamela.
Soldado -- 6------Got more involved and a good penatly. But missed two great chances and looks well off confidence.
Subs:
Capoue. not enough time.
Lamela----6------Some nice touches and runs. Looked more confident but it was only 19 mins.
Chadli-----5------Like Lamela but less involved.
Just about right, but defence and goalkeepers marks should all be a 7 IMO.
Maybe Dembele should be a 9 too due to his goal, but Paulie for me the standout player - just edging MoM.
Funny how you can mark Lamela and Chadli but not Capoue, who came on before them! He should get a 7 too as. He shored up the midfield with good fresh energy.
TS 9. Got the team selection, tactics and subs spot on. Well done.
