My thoughts
- results matter, 2 wins on the bounce, 6 goals with Kane, Moura, Dele, Son and now Eriksen contributing in some way
- massive improvement on Aurier, also thought Sanchez had a much better game today (a few times he used his pace well, good recovery tackles)
- Amazing to see early subs, amazing to see subs with a plan (Sissoko at end to close game)
- HT adjustments/statements made a difference
The bad side
- Actually think we came out the gates too excited, pressed a bit higher than against West Ham and got caught out .. Jose was screaming to calm down in first half
- Poor game from Son (gets a pass), Rose, Winks and Dier struggled
Another one in the bag, work to do defensively as unit, onward to week-end

Moura was our best player by a country mile..He was a consistent worry to the opposition and while we were floundering first half Moura was causing the most problems for OLYP InMyHumble opinion off course!
I can't help being even more Humble than the Humble one....
It's a good job Eriksen came on though because otherwise we would have lost!

For me, Clive, Aurier is looking like the player he was always supposed to be. This is not the previous Aurier that’s had some green shoots, this is the absolute beast of a competitor that also has a sweet touch. I think he’s a Jose style player, he’s intense, maybe doesn’t need an arm round the shoulder, he just needs to be wound up and actually he’ll control himself because it’s his most comfortable state. Otherwise that energy comes out in weird ways like wandering around the centre of the pitch or making foul throws.
Ledley like recovery tackles from Sanchez tonight.
Eriksen looking vaguely like actual Eriksen for the first time in absolutely ages.
And José...fans will love the idea that we subbed on 25 mins (even though I go along with the line that Poch often changed things through shape and those changes affected games just as well) but the players will love it too, because it paid off. It’s always great to see decisive action rewarded. It’s the kind of thing they didn’t get with Poch at the end - so much running that lead to little tangible reward. This is a small example of it, but a decisive action and a tangible result.
I slightly worry / hope we will see more of Lo Celso and Sess soon, but so far so good. The directness is working in the build up now, and I hope we maintain the tactical flexibility. Hilarious to see Jose shouting CALM at the players after starting like nutcases.

er you might have noticed, but I’ve felt a bit more chirpy recently. A bit more like my old self.
he has, I suppose yet even I am surprised at how he’s trying very hard to promote a different version of himself atm...(post match interview classy again)
As for me, I’ve always got the horn! @Robspur12 is just the poor unfortunate fudger who I’m blowing it at.

I wouldn't get too used to this version of Jose. A leopard never changes its spots that much. And a nice version of Jose, as Roy Keane said, isn't really what we want anyway. I don't care if he's a horrible c**t as long as he's our horrible c**t and wins some trophies.

We do look awful on defensive set pieces! We got 2 warnings today, with a runner to the front post where they nearly scored, and still we didn't learn, and third time we conceded. And it looked messy every time we defended set pieces. It was the same against wet spam. Jose has a job to do there!

That cb of theirs looked good, semedo was it?

And yet... Mourinho, Dele and Kane said after the match that we started too slowly, not enough intensity, the press wasn't high enough and we started the second half with more intensity and a higher press.
So I think they needed to calm down in terms of not panicking when on the ball... but not in terms of their efforts / pressing.

Do you really need to ask?
I was at the game but no that was not me.
I only ever had one photo of me posted on this site some years ago when I was caught up in a protest and the amount of PMs i got from you pervs wanting a meet up was unreal, if not unexpected.

think Rio said after Jose looked a bit morbid.
I took it as a man who has seen our defence close up for 180 mins and thinks...
fudge the gods I’ve got some work on here!

For me, the most impressive part of the Dier sub was that he made it clear the mistake had been his and not the player. He went out of his way to protect the player. Good work!
