Agee about the fitter. During the scum game I noticed him pressing to regain possession and thought to myself that I didn't remember him running that fast
He's definitely improved off his dip in form, but the reality is that there are three players that would get the nod before him in midfield, at least for me. If we're looking at a turnaround in perceived attitude of not giving a shit to working hard every week, Vertonghen should be on the top of the list. Don't get me wrong, I like what I'm seeing from him right now, but I can't see how you could call him more improved than either Kane, Bentaleb, Mason, or Rose.
Best I've seen him since that odd LM appearance against Liverpool.
Meant he's the most improved player during this season rather than versus last season. You can see that Moussa's conditioning has come on massively since September whereas the others have basically been doing it since the start.
Dembele has been in good form of late and should be used more with our fixture congestion..
He's being used in an unusual way, and it's working for us well. It's a completely improvised tactic based on the fact that we don't have a CM pair who are good enough right now, but Dembele the Forward Lying Destroyer is providing us what the system needs right now.
It's complete ghetto tactics, but hilariously works really well.

Hope he carries this form on for the rest of the season. Its been so frustrating watching someone who is quiet patently and fantastic player but was just struggling to unleash the brilliance. Now it seems thanks to the emergence of Mason and Bentaleb he's been freed up to run wild.
He'll score tonight
I played the game on Fifa & we win 7-1

Has got all the natural ability in the world - just lacks a killer instinct. Has improved recently but I still think he can do more! Always loved him as a player and would go well hard if he just went beast mode
I've been one of Dembele's biggest critics, but boy did he put a shift in vs Poo. Well rewarded with the goal. The nice thing too is he's improving every game.
The only negative affect it has, is pushing Eriksen outside, but it's great to have another attacking option. The front 4 were really clicking vs Pool. We were unlucky not to bang in a few more goals.

He looks good at AM, but to the detriment of Eriksen? I'm not so sure.
He has rediscovered his mojo somehow, playing as an AM - a lot less sideways passing, a lot more positive forward thinking.
I think he plays AM in stead of Eriksen because he offers more physically ...

Beast mode activated, Poch has flicked the switch.
This is the player we bought from Fulham.
Love how Ramsey gets pushed off the ball, goes at Mousa again who just takes him flat out.
Dembele, do you still want it? If you want it, you can be as good as the best.
He's still got time to become amazing, I reckon.
