Easily our best performance of the season and it's a shame we didn't get the goals to match and it's really frustrating. Arguably our best back five and we looked solid and kept a cleansheet. Thank god we don't have a lump like Lukaku up front, offers absolutely nothing to his team and is dreadful with his back to goal, no wonder Mourinho got rid.
Dier was outstanding. In a positional-sense he was exceptional, he wound Everton players up and he put in some outstanding tackles, especially the one on Cleverley. That was one of the best defensive midfield performances I've seen since Sandro against Man Utd at Old Trafford. Bentaleb still looks off the pace to be honest, I'd have taken him off round about 70 minutes, dropped Mason deeper and brought Pritchard on, shame we waited a while to bring him on.
Felt for Kane, you just had the feeling he'd miss when he was through. Last season he'd have went round Howard and slotted it home. He just needs one though, hopefully against Sunderland. I can't wait for that game though. International break has come at a good time, get Son and Njie in training, another week of fitness for Pritchard and hopefully it's nothing TOO serious for Dembele who impressed me today.
Overall I was happy with the performance but ultimately frustrated with the outcome. Mason could have had a hattrick, his finishing with the first team has always been lackluster. Wasn't he top goalscorer for our youth teams too? Crazy. I was also quite impressed by Alli when he come on, likes to get forward as you'd expect but he's a quick thinker and we lack those.
I'd say Vertonghen, Rose and Dier were our stand out players in a game where our defence wasn't really troubled surprisingly. I'd probably give Dier man of the match due to how solid he was in there.
Even Kane.
