Eriksen - Was at the heart of most of our good play.

Alli despite this miss, had an amazing game.

Lamela. His play set up multiple goals, and he could have had one himself, but gave Kane a sitter.

It's gotta be Kane

Oh man. He can literally score from anywhere & everywhere

Fuck it. Give it to em all

Away support was incredible, the only noise in the ground on tv.

Alli

Alli
Even though he had the miss he had 2 goals and the pass that set up the 4th goal. I give it to him.

Ctrl-F "Fans": nothing. Lul
Singing their hearts out and with great enunciation. Put in a real MotM perf. Made Stoke sound pretty sickly. Any other time would have won it. Clearly Harry was too much for you to live with on the night!

The fact that Eriksen is getting ignored is horrible.
2 beautiful assists and put in the tackle that set up Kane's 2nd. And he was unlucky not to have a goal.
Bold that. Eriksen's placement and assists deserve more credit. I would love to see a compilation of just Eriksen assists.
Eriksen will bottle every 50/50 tackle, but he is really good at intercepting and stealing the ball away from the opponent without really tackling at all. It looks so awkward every time he tries to tackle, but he will get the ball back a lot of times without needing to tackle. Also his ability to pass with both feet is insane. Those two assists to Alli todays was inch perfect.
But the biggest difference this season is how much more involved he is. It has really helped him and us that he can drop deeper and get on the ball. We are so much better when he can start our attacks. I still think he sometimes drifts out when he is forced to be too much on the left when we are not in control.
Our last goal really showed how good that left side is when Eriksen, Rose and Kane can string together some first touch passes. But overall our front four has really found each other. Eriksen and Lamela also looks much better together this season. I really like when Eriksen receives the ball deep and imediately turns around and pass it forward to a running Lamela who then have lots of good opportunities to run at the defence and find either Kane, Alli or one-two it back to Eriksen. It really opens up the defense when we can move it so fast from our own third to the oppositions third.
Much better to move the ball forward or backwards instead of playing sideways. We also play so much faster this season, with much fewer touches and fewer players dwell on the ball. Pretty great progress since AVB and Timmy.
