Not sure how we got out of that game with three points. Defoe clean through hits the post, Rodwell hits the crossbar and mason sneaks a winner on what was probably our best passage of play.
Mason and dier sat really deep, picking it up off the centre backs, I can understand dier doing that he can rotate with either one of them and let them skip forward, with mason it felt like he didn't trust them to bring the ball forward.
Lot of space between our holding midfielders and the attacking ones.
Alli looked energetic, son's "pace" didn't seem that pacy to me, we look lost without eriksen to sit between the lines and stitch everything together. Chadli looks like he needs a confidence boost, several times he had an open look and rather than shoot looked to change foot and angle, as the chance slipped away. Townsend brought some energy and pace, and Lamela played a couple of cute passes, and missed a sitter of a header.
Got a win, but we're going to need to play better to keep doing so.
M'vila was all over the place, proper defensive midfielder, we should have put an offer in, probably too old for our current player philosophy...
Not sure how long mason will be out with his knee injury, but it was nice to see Carroll get on and not look out of place...
