Loads of positives to take from today, minutes for Mason, Hugo. Winks looked assured when he was on the ball. Alli once again looked so comfortable and there can be no argument over him or Dier for United. Carroll looks like he's added to his game in the final third. Compare that with the tired displays of Cap and Pauli. Has our midfield improved over the summer, to me, yes.
Ha! Add Crespo and Seedorf ... 2 more hall of famers. What a squad they had back then.
legendary team.
And look the shite players they played against us today ochfacepalm:
you mean when he played both Wanyama and Schneiderlin?His two and a half years in England?

Sorry, similar question as yesterday ... missed the game again.
Can anybody sum up the game? Any particular highlights?
And is it worth a watch?
Thanks!
Yeah, and a Liverpool team full of donkeys came back from 3-0 down to beat them in the CL final....just sayin...Ha! Add Crespo and Seedorf ... 2 more hall of famers. What a squad they had back then.
Poch doesn't use DM's. Even schneiderlin isn't an out and out DM.
If we used DM's, don't you think Dembele would have seen more game time?
Bright start, scored a couple of great goals splitting Milan in two. Midfielders running into the box creating havoc, dominating the game. Lloris and Mason back playing. Need to watch our high back line for off-the-shoulder runners. Trippier is a quality signing, Alli is even better. We won a trophySorry, similar question as yesterday ... missed the game again.

Who assisted the second goal? I was watching on a dreadful stream in Germany, I'm pretty sure the guy was wearing white. Glorious ball. Lamela had a frustrating game again but he shows those little glimpses of a real quality player, especially when he weights a through ball on the run from the no 10 position, probably needs to play there imo, not fast enough for the wing and probably a bit too selfish when looking for the killer ball.The second goal is the one that gives me hope, the pass, movement and finish was superb. The first means nothing to me apart from it being a moment of individual brilliance, superb goal nonetheless. I hate to be cynical but that's how I look at it.
...and for what it's worth... if it wasn't for the fucking 'heritage' sashTM and the AIA logo, we could be looking at one of the greatest Spurs home kits of all time, IMHO!

Thank you much. Lovely weight on that ball and a lovely finish. Really enjoyed that match against a reasonably strong Milan, watched them against Inter last week and they looked good, not so much today though.Trippier sent it through to Carroll.
