Wow, what a fantastic performance by the boys today and what a brilliant atmosphere at the lane.
For those who have labelled Pochettinno average must surely now be thinking that he's getting it right at the Lane.
How refreshing it is to see all of these homegrown players playing with skill and passion, players who genuinely love the club.
Our never say die attitude, our intensity and fitness levels are truly amazing and we just steam rollered Arsenal today.
Not forgetting our slick passing and skill, we are building the best young team in the country, not the finished article by any means but we are coming along very nicely.
These are my ratings for today -
Lloris 7.5 - Didnt have much to do but produced two fantastic saves, He is a world class keeper.
Walker - 7.5 - Powerful and athletic display once again from Kyle. Defended well and got forward on numerous times. Just wish his end product was better.
Dier - 7.5 - Another hugely polished display from young Dier, didnt put a foot wrong and again shows maturity above his years.
Vertonghen - 7.5 - Super Jan coolness personified again, read the game well, and excellent bringing the ball out of defence.
Rose - 8 In the big games he always performs, such a driving force from left back. Defended excellently (one tackle in the box was superb) and going forward he was a juggernaut.
Mason - 9 Absolutely brilliant. Theres not one blade of grass on the hallowed turf he didnt trample on today. Like an annoying wasp in the ear of every Arsenal player.
Bentaleb - 8.5 Again like Mason won the midfield battle. Such a classy player, great tackling and excellent passing. One of the first names on the team shirt behind, Lloris, Kane and Eriksen.
Lamela - 7 Hard working display from Lamela, tackled well and some of his passes and flicks into the midfield were a joy at times. Dosent look a goal threat though.
Dembele - 7 Our "destructive number 10" did what he does best, harrassed the Arsenal midfield and back line, shielded the ball and kept us moving. Not a goal threat but did a great job for us today.
Eriksen - 7 Worked tirelesley all game, probed, playing one twos and linked well with Kane. Not his best game but did well/
Kane - 9 What a player we have here ! Led the line superbly, ran the channels, tackled back, linked play, drove at the Arsenal defence and more importantly scored two fantastic goals. The headed winner was just sensational. 22 goals now he should easily get 30.

Well, Kane got a yellow in the first half too.
And they wound up with more yellows than us.

grandspur, not going to argue with you tonight, but how the feck can you say Mason was having a nightmare of a game, he had a brilliant first half as well, he was all over the pitch. Didn`t you see the stats that BT put up on the screen at Half-time to show th amount of work he had put in all over the pitch?

Its not all about running or yards, he gave away 3 or 4 free kicks at least one was worthy of a yellow card in the first 10 minutes and he gave the ball away dreadfully a couple of times in the first 10 when he was obviously trying to hard. Have a look at it again, the whole 90 minutes particularly the first 25 or so.
I wont question his workrate he always works damned hard but his first 20 or so minutes today he was having a mare it was mentioned by a few on the match thread.
Great 2nd half from the kid tho

Fair enough. I shall have a look at the whole 90 minutes again, but not tonight, I have had enough of footie for one day. I will sit down some time tomorrow after roast dinner and savour the event again.
