Can someone check on Alan Smith after the game, please? He sounds a bit depressed. Maybe give him the number for the Samaritans or something?
Would have kept Janssen on, personally. Perfect game to give him a bit of service with Kane and build his confidence further.
Kane for Janssen. Not sure I agree with that. Why risk him? Argument for getting him back to match fitness, but I'd rather try and get Janssen on the score sheet.
Scored 64, conceded 22. Not bad. Only Liverpool have scored more (66), while nobody's let in less. Chelsea and Man Utd are closest with 24.
Bringing Kane on now is a shrewd move by Poch. We need Kane fit, and what better time to bring him on than in a game where there is no pressure on him to go and win it for us?
Watford have been hacking at Alli all day, but he shouldn't react like that. It doesn't help. Taylor will be watching out for any sort of retribution now and it hurts his reputation, too. Just laugh at the twat and go and score another one.
That's insane. We're also (before today's game) 10 points ahead of anyone when you combine last season's and this season's points.
Alan Smith puzzled by Deeney's omission, somehow totally missing that they've played on the counter with pace today. There's also the rotation aspect, as Deeney played 90 minutes midweek when they were down to 10 for the last half hour.
