Just my tuppence worth from being at the game, different perspective and all that:
CCV had a good game but distribution wise was a bit shaky, definitely not ready for a Premier League start but would be nice to see him get some cup minutes / sub appearances to build the confidence. Rest of the defence was business as usual.
Lamela was the stand out player by far. Covered the ground and was effective with the ball too, what a finish as well. Soon as it left his foot you knew it was in. Dier, Mason, Alli all steady. Eriksen was a bit disappointing but we all know what he can contribute. Substitutions wise I was very impressed with Winks.Someone else has already mentioned it but the way he moved the ball quickly and forwards and took possession under pressure was pretty special for one so young against Inter. Edwards looks so lightweight but made one defender look daft, went past him like he wasn't even there.
Kane got involved as he always does but Janssen I was obviously keeping a close eye on. He's a bit of a lump in the way he moves around and does look slightly sluggish, but his link up play, close control and vision were impressive. Took his goal well and looked comfortable holding the ball up and bringing others into play. I don't think we'll see him AND Kane too often but its definitely something we can ue and a different option which we didn't have last season.
Quick note on Wimmer, he did some jogging/sprints with a fitness coach post match. Had some strapping on his knee and didn't look entirely comfortable. Wouldn't be surprised if he didn't make the Everton game so we could see Dier in at CB with Toby, Wanyama and Mason in the middle I expect.
