This team just stuck at it and at it and at it. Trusted themselves that the win was there if they kept playing their football. Utter domination and completely deserved victory.
I thought everyone played well, with the exception of Davies & Son in the first half and Winks in the first 15min or so. Winks ended up being brilliant and Davies turned it on in the 2nd half (again just think of the number of games this lad had just had to play, 3 full games in 8 days!!) and Son improved too.
Mentions:
Lucas - runs in the first half were a sight to behold, such a shame he didn't get the goal with the 70yrd dribble past 5 of their players. This is what we need from him, break their lines, turn their defence. 3 games in 8 days from him!!!
Winks - He was in CM as almost the lone man, and following his showing without the ball against Wolves I was a tad worried, but he tracked so many of their runs tonight and got his body between oppo and the ball countless times (also worthy of say how Eriksen was also here as whilst Winks was on the oppo he came in on the other side and just toed the ball away).
Dele - superb in the first half, full of running and energy, stretching PSV, god we've missed him, beautiful flick in the first half that I thought was going in. Great link up too. Began to fade in the last 15mins, understandable, great to have you back.
Eriksen - Ran the midfield, much of his stuff he did from deep today, he's so important to this team, still needs to get up to speed and sharpness but like Dele so glad to see you back.
Gazzaniga - Had fuck all to do all game but was called on twice and delivered with two super saves. Spoke with someone (I think it you
ShutUpPatrik
, sorry if not) on here a few days ago about his feet, I said I hadn't seen any evidence that he was good, well I have now, TICK. Got sold short by Toby and performed a lovely Cryuff turn, also less dramatic Winks twice under-hit a pass to him which meant he had to come smartly out of his box to play it.
Llorente - Lovely touch from him to lay it off to Kane for our first goal, this is what you are supposed to do.
Poch - We've just played 4 games in 8 days, won 3 of them. The defeat being a narrow 0-1 against City, a game that with a bit of luck we should have drawn! He's done this with so many injuries to add an extra layer of complexity to his rotation. Fucking excellent job!!
Still have it all to do thanks to that wanker Icardi, just like when we played them he scored from his only attempt on goal in the dying moments. But we were the far superior side in Milan, play like we did tonight and we will beat them. By then Barca will probably be confirmed top spot in the group, so will they put out a weakened side????
Up The Spurs!

Well done spurs. Entertaining game (expected a runover) but you managed to mentally break these farming cuntz
Fuck u Europeland
Fucking hell!
Barca will also more than likely play their second string against us, which means more than a decent chance of beating them. Beat Inter and PSV at home, and beat a second string Barca, would leave us with 10 points.
Even if Barca went full strength for no reason, we’re still in this.
ochfacepalm:
Another game to contend with. I think Poch is doing a grand job juggling the squad, considering our injury list . We just need to keep focus for the whole game, as our defensive issues seem to be of our own making. Can't say I'm looking forward to another night trek to Wembley. Still I have the consolation of seeing Gazzaniga in action (I can be such a girlie at times!)
J Sainsbury. Asda. Tesco. fuck the lot of em
Right. Home. My pointless views. We were excellent today. Kept working hard, pressing, trying to break down a horrible team and eventually got our reward. This has been a tough run with some ugly matches and we’ve come through looking pretty decent. Even Llorente is on form, doing the job we need. His experience is showing this season and I hope we can keep him happy for many useful cameos.
We deserved a better support. Lots of PSV around the ground which was annoying. But we should be turning up in greater numbers. Partly the club’s fault for the pricing and lack of multi game packages. But still. Too many entitled moaners. We have about 10k decent fans at Wembley but the rest are silent, tourists, opposition or just negative twats.
I hate PSV.
I don’t know about the players, but I’m knackered from 4 games in barely a week.

Just got the CL trophy tattooed on my face
I'd literally go for someone if they said anything bad about Daws as of it were them talking about my niece & nephews! I fucking love the guy, he'll always be welcome back at the Lane. Proper yid!
