The Sissoko juggernaut has no steering wheel or brakes (none of that sideways/slow stuff for him) . He would have ploughed a two lane road from Lloris to their goal line.
Is it a bad look that, when Janssen came on, Dier was pissing himself laughing? https://reddit.app.link/B670AMh97V
Haven't read back to the in-game comments but I thought Rosie was superb. If he plays like this regularly we have to offer him a new deal. Sorry, RCL.
I thought Eriksen had a superb game, even before his goal. Constantly on the move probing for a way through the Brighton trenches. Same for Wanyama. The bigger problem was how static and predictable Lucas, Son and Llorente were. Awful performances from all of them. Rose MOTM though, brilliant performance and played with his heart on his sleeve. Unlike Trippier, whose only noteworthy attribute is that he doesn't wear sleeves. So you can see his tattoos. Which look a bit like sleeves. Just really silly ones. Tattoo sleeves that everyone has r-e-a-l-l-y l-o-n-ggggg to look at because he is so ****ing slow at everything.
I hate these teams that park the bus...awful to watch. At least Ajax will be a more open game. Rose was superb tonight...real commitment.
Someone on here said he'd be happy with seven 1-0 wins, looks like that might happen after tonight but I spoke of heart attacks afterwards.
Llorente was made for their centre backs. He'll be more effective against the Spammers. Vinnie got a song when he came on. Lucas should have one too?
If you watch the goal carefully, you'll notice how Janssen positions his stocky frame to block Ryan's line of sight, swiveling out of the ball's path at the last moment. That counts as an assist in my books.
Two wins and the only way Man Utd or Chelsea can finish above us is on a freak goal difference swing (and that's ignoring the permutations that Sunday offers)
