Can't believe what I just witnessed. Absolutely magnificent stuff am so so proud.
Chirpy is going to give lily an absolute nailing after that one.

I'd be interested in who can suggest a better LB that's for sure. He is superb.
Absolute nonsense. Lamela is our 2nd penalty taker. It was Son being selfish by not following Poch's rules.
If Lamela had ''stolen'' anything Poch wouldn't have given him a positive pep talk after the miss, he'd have bollocksed him.
Unless, of course, you think during the season last year or 5 games into the season this year Poch suddenly made Son our 2nd penalty taker.
Son was out of order.
Absolutely astonishing the things people will pick on to have a pop at Lamela. Everyone misses penalties.
That said, my opinion is that Eriksen should have taken the penalty. He is our best spot kick taker.
come on now.we won. don't be too harsh on him. Lamela played really hard today.
Did we just play like that. Was that Tottenham Hotspur on the pitch. Im in genuine shock. Defensively we were sound.
It was a poor penalty because their goalkeeper psyched him out by standing too one side, leaving a big space, before the actual penalty. This tactic makes the pen taker think psychologically think "I'll put it there because it's a bigger gap." Thing is, the goalie then moved over the middle so you have to outsmart the goalie and send it either the other way or down the middle. I'd have hit it down the middle. But to be fair to Lamela, the dispute with Son was not helpful for preparing your thinking. Poch will make sure that situation never happens again, thankfully.
I watched really hard today?
I hope Pep was carrying some cigarettes, because he just got thoroughly fucked.
This just how's how little of a one man team we are.. the performance today was exceptional. Poch got it spot on!
We really mean business this year, and seem to be getting the balance right between UCL and PL, shows how important our summer business was.
Good work lads, now let's have no injuries from the international break and go again at West Brom.

I am really hard now
Although we fucked it up I thought the Goalie played it absolutely perfectly too, great psyching out then a really good save
he was alright in my book today, but he needs to stop thinking too much when the ball comes to him and just play quick team ball if not one of thesedays there will be a match or two he is going to cost the team
How fecking good was that? Fecking brilliant, Neville asked who he's man of the match was? Picked Wanyama but said you could have picked any of them they all did a job! Brilliant,
I feel like Eriksen would absolutely destroy penalties. I feel like he would be smashing at the mind games
He was absolutely incredible. I can't say it enough.
I knew Kenyans liked to run but fucking hell man.
