3-nil. Son with a hat trick and Foyth with all three assists.

Whilst I do think Eriksen aided us in our come back.
I can't help but think the change in shape was the main reason. We simply HAVE to stay away from this diamond bollocks.
You're talking crap. Sissoko worked very hard and was good throughout the game.Don't start this silly bullshit again, Sissoko was fucking atrocious today, and only looked OK in the last few minutes because by now we were camped in their third and their spirit had broke, and he had fuck all to do. If we were under pressure or if we are playing a decent team he's still shit there (see the CL final or the whole final third of last season where we took 11 points from 12 games).
Sissoko going back to CM2 today had absolutely fuck all to do with any up turn in performance in that game. And if we go back to playing 4231 Poch would be an absolute idiot if Sissoko keeps his place ahead of people like Winks, Ndombele or Skipp in it.
Poch going 4231, Eriksen coming on and just general constant pressure - we had 70% throughout - 30 odd shots - turned that game.
Your pub was probably right until the subs. He was fine after the changes. I mean , can you even imagine Winks taking the ball from the air, running past two players and making an assist like Sissoko did? Unlikely.Pretty much the whole pub I was in was rinsing him for how awful he was today. I'll hold my hands up and say last season was unbelievable for him. But today was the 2017 Sissoko.
No you're wrong.Yes - he was. ineffective. Had loads of opportunities to run at Villa, but seemed to be scared to, so passed sideways instead. I'd go so far as to say he was a waste of space, hence Poch replacing him with Eriksen, thank goodness. The game changed from that moment on.
Sissoko, on the other hand, tried to make an impact every time he got the ball.
