Was at the game - dire atmosphere until we were winning.
Game was a weird one - think that what will matter in the run in as much as fitness is Poch working on close passing and first touch. Notable that only Trippier, Dier, Vertonghen and Aldeweireld really controlled the ball well - everyone else had at least a few instances of it pinging off them and us losing possession whilst building attacks. They tried to force us wide and did on numerous occasions, where our weak crossing did sweet fuck all. Building through the middle is difficult when you've got 9 and a keeper standing in front of the goal, but think that the team is ambitious enough to give it a go which is really something. Confidence is high and that can only be a good thing.
Eriksen had a Marmite game - played terribly in the first half and kind of had it excised by two very strange goals. Kirchhoff's half-arsed swing for the ball in particular...that shit will get you benched for life.
