Eriksen to the rescue.
Never thought I’d say the words but Sissoko was immense tonight, all over the place, putting in a shift defensively and then initiating attacks. It was his run into the box and pass that led to Eriksen’s goal.
The round of “when the spurs go marching in” after made the spine tingle.
Thought winks had a good game, very positive, couple of surging runs forward and hit the bar with a shot we all thought was going in. Moura had some delightful pieces of control and dribbling, but it didn’t come off for him tonight. Lamela pressed and chased and played through balls, but his corners weren’t great and you could feel the lift when son and Eriksen came on instead of them.
Match was remarkably low-key, though you could feel the tension in the crowd. Inter came to defend, happy with a draw, willing to snatch a goal on the counter if they could.
We were happy to be patient, play out from the back and try and play possession football. Despite the crowds urging, didn’t feel like we ever really went all out to get the result. Felt like they were saving something for the NLD on Sunday, despite the last minute roll of the substitution dice to bring on Son and Eriksen..

Anyway result means we just need to match inter’s result on the next match day, but would be safer if we just went and won at Barca, and with them now having won the group, good chance they’ll rest players for that game..
