An encouraging performance from Wanyama too.
Why risk it?
Wanyama - I’m really not sure - it’s great to see him back but will he ever get back to the beast he was?
Having him as a reliable squad player would be a boost.
Literally everything we could have asked for.
What the hell is wrong with Winks now and when is he supposed to be back?
Any reason to think he want just rested? Given we sold Dembele without getting a replacement in, Winks is about our only ball playing true CM and if we make the CL semis, we have 2 games per week til the end of the season
When the team was announced I was a bit concerned we would struggle to break them down, I didn't realise how poor they were, I wouldn't be surprised to see them get relegated again next season. The team did well, you can only beat whats up in front of you. Pleased to see Wanyama getting a full game and much needed game time for the other fringe players, it will give them confidence for upcoming games if they are required.
Getting use to the stadium now and was pleased to find how easy it was to get a drink and use the toilets at halftime near my seat, the only problem I've got is it so easy to use these facilities people keep getting up to use them during the game, even managed to get a seat in the marketplace before the game for a drink, the food looks good might try some next game.
Really pleased today. The rotated boys attitude was spot on. I am sorry I was anxious before the game. Poch deserves top marks for team selection today.
Well done Lucas - super hat-trick . Other mentions in dispatches go to Sissoko, Wanyama , KWP and Llorente- who is a much better hold up player than Kane. Could be useful away at City methinks.
