Refreshing throwback of a performance.

Sell one of the RBs and put that towards central midfield or getting in De ligt. Rose was excellent today. Kwp needs to bulk up a bit but after an iffy start he was phenomenal. Pace and technical ability up both wings, great crossing; 3 assists between them, 1 pen that was stonewall but not given and several free kicks won in dangerous areas. What's cooler is that they could have contributed even more with some missed opportunities and close calls. Rose also played the key pass in for the third.
We will win in a 4-3 type result. KWP showing he should play a lot more
Not that clued up on all the rules but because Sanchez wasn t even originally named on bench, when Jan got injured/I'll? I think Poch could only replace him with someone in the named 18, hence Wanyama and then this allowed Sanchez to be named as a sub. Might be wrong thoughCrazy game. Never sworn so much and ended up happy. Too many team changes and Vertonghen injury really mucked us up. Defensively could/should have conceded more but it is a long time since we scored and attacked so freely. Why did Sanchez not get into the team when Jan injured? Was he not ready/changed etc? Did he have to go and get his kit? if so very unprofessional. Not sure why Son came on when we needed to hold a lead.
Well at least we got there in the end although not sure how and can go into the summer happy.
It's a difficult situation. We like to rotate between two right backs - we can't keep all 3 happy.
Trippier is more consistent but older (turning 28 soon) while 25 year old Aurier is very inconsistent. However, he could be a much better player next season with a full season of Premier League experience under his belt and a full pre season with Poch.
In my opinion, KWP will be better than both of them. But he needs to play. One of Trippier/Aurier needs to move on.
Credit to the team though, with Champions League in the bag they could have just turned it in at 3-1 and downed tools.Our urgency and style of play at 3-1 is exactly how we should start against bottom half teams like this.
