Player ratings V Stoke (A)

Good evening lads, hope your all well.

Excellent win and performance and this should be the real kickstart for our season after a solid but unspectacular first three games.

I thought we started the game sluggishly but the main thing is compared to spurs teams of old we stick in there and keep things tight. After 20 mins or so we took control and we looked like we could score everytime we went forward.

Here are my ratings for today's game -

Lloris - 6.5 Hardly anything to do, raced off his line early on superbly to avert the danger.

Walker - 8 .5 Best RB in the league, no question. I make that two motm performances so far this season. He was a machine.

Alderweireld - 8 Majestic as usual.

Vertonghen - 7.5 Coolness personified. Read the game superbly won his battle with Walters comfortably.

Davies - 7 Very solid performance, not spectacular like Rose can be but put in a great shift.

Wanyama - 6.5 Started the game poorly, bad touches and sloppy passing but improved as the game wore on. Unlucky to get a yellow but was rightly subbed by Poch.

Dier - 7 Solid, picked up the ball of his defenders and moved the ball well between the lines.

Son - 7.5 Poor up until the goal then scores with a great finish. The second was a beauty and reminded us what a talent he is.

Alli - 7 Missed a sitter but was our brightest attacker early in the match. Looking more like the Alli from last season.

Eriksen - 8 Like Son poor start to the game but then got a lovely assist, as the game wore on Eriksen got the space to weave his magic and he was toying with them in the end.

Kane - 7 Led the line well and did a great job defending set pieces. Got a tap in for his first goal of the season and 50th in the prem. This should reignite his fire now.


Subs -

Lamela - 6.5 Busy display when he came on, moved the ball well and was everywhere.

Janssen - 6.5 Put in a shift but the game was already won and he hardly had a chance.

Sisssoko - 6.5 Good sub appearance almost scored with a deflected shot. Ran the right channel with real pace and drive.
