I watched the whole game. In the first half Kane and Son were both awful, neither team could string two passes together. Then we got the lucky goal and it got a lot better. Bentancur was really class (Dorset is wrong - there, I said it) and Hojbjerg played well too - their midfield didn't get a look in. We missed a bunch of chances but never looked like conceding. Son stayed poor (he could do with a day off, whatever Conte says),but Kane just got better and better and by the end he was pinging 50 yard drive volleys with fade like Hoddle.
Man of the match? Emerson - didn't put a foot wrong the whole time he was out there.
Bentancur might be alright, a few good bits combined with some dross does not convince me. Class? Nah, not yet and the same goes for Hojberg, so many shite passes along with some crackers. Wrong? How can I be wr..., less correct? I only said he doesn't impress me yet, he's only been with us 45 minutes and I have not made my mind up about him yet. They are both really inconsistent, just like our team. I still hate this passing out bollocks, Llrois is not good enough with his feet or his football brain, better sides give us some real agg with that nonsense. It seems fecking pointless playing pat-a-cake in our own area, waiting for an opportunity when all our players are within 10m of the ball, we seem to lose the ball within 2 or 3 passes from most of our goal kicks. Kane? Yeah, he was great, if only he could be on the other end of the brilliant passes and crosses he puts in! Kane must be cloned! Emerson could not be criticised, did he touch the ball? Handy to have him to come on and give Reg a break when we are in a comfy position I suppose.
Romero must be in for goal of the season! I enjoyed that goal, the game wasn't exactly a thriller and so a bit of comic relief made it more enjoyable.
