Since we didnt get dybala, I hope that means the club think they can no longer let eriksen go, clearly we wanted le celso and another attacking player - given we didnt get that I think eriksen might stay

Iniesta didnt score or assist much either. Guess he provided nothing offensively as well.
Sigh
Didn't you say you'd stop posting if Eriksen had a masterclass today? Well after he came on the light bulb switched on and we scored three goals.
Anyway, I hope you don't tbh, you make a lot of sense in some of the things you say but it's just rubbed me the wrong way how you've been after him all summer.
Ha ha, Jamie Redknapp... "And Undumbully..."
Eh, say who?
Eh, say who?
I'm not a mystic. Are you?
Got a red. Out for next three
I thought at the 30 minute mark that Villa would tire in the second half - they were simply trying to cover too much space.
Whilst Eriksen coming on did have an impact, I think the gaps started to appear largely because Villa were shattered and stopped closing down space. The third goal, in particular, shows this - Grealish simply fell over the slightest bit of pressure.
The Ndombele goal had nothing to do with Eriksen either so I struggle to see how we can attribute that to him.

My lungs are burning 
In fact Eriksen and Ndombele compliment each other, once the two are playing they are the player the other team should not give space. The most improved players when Eriksen came were him and Ndombele, can't avoid to think that's cause one creates space for the other to play.

Great thing about this game is all the gooners watching expecting it to be a draw until the last couple of minutes.
Hope that hurt.
Hope that hurt.
Exactly what I was thinking.
Oof, I forgot about that. Isn't the ban down to 2 games after this one?
Quite a ride. We were bad in the first half, no doubt about it. The formation was wrong, the player selection was wrong, and we bungled a couple of good opportunities.
Everything changed with Eriksen's introduction. He was on the ball everywhere and made some delicious passes. It was actually a little disheartening to see everybody defer to him and pass the ball back to him. But any accusations that he's uninterested have to go by the wayside at this point.
Fantastic goal by Ndombele. He also showed some great skill with a couple of his passes. I do think we need a bit higher workrate out of him though, but the foundation is there.
Great composure by Kane to score twice.
Lamela was pretty poor, but it was his hustle that led to the go-ahead goal.
I thought KWP was good...he wasn't asked to defend really so this game played to his strengths.
Rose also was decent though he didn't exactly cover himself in glory on the Villa goal. But I feel like maybe Sanchez should be tracking that player.
Good play from Toby. Broke up some Villa attacks.
OK performance by Winks...he had a critical tackle at one point that probably saved a goal.
Sissoko showed why he's not cut out for these games where we have to break a packed defense down. He's perfect for the games with more wide open play.
Sanchez had a game to forget. Moura was invisible.
Full credit to Villa who played really well.

Um... his cross into sanchez was brilliant... which pretty much started the whole play
I stand by what I said....I thought he was crap last season.
Today he was dropped, as Ive been calling for. Maybe he needed to be dropped earlier if it inspires him to play well.
Today was no masterclass. He did his job to the level I expect him to do for at least 3/4 of a season.
The reason people think that was world class, is because their standards of him have dropped.
That was bread and butter Eriksen, playing well, while those around him lacked composure and cohesion.
But Im a man of my word. Bye.
As I said, I love Spurs more the less I post here.......Im sick of hating fellow Yids, its like posting on a gooner forum sometimes. Enjoy the ride.
