Idle musings on a good performance...
Front 4 were excellent, although remain unconvinced on playing a forward (Lucas today, previously Lamela) in the 10 role. The midfield 2 were up against another 2, against most teams it will be 3. Fulham on Thursday will almost certainly play an extra man - often as not they're a 3-4-2-1 with the 2 both tasked with assisting in midfield, so it should be a game for Dele Alli. Or more realistically, Moussa Sissoko. Either way the front 3 needs to be Son-Kane-Bale, just a shame it's taken 25 league games to get to the point where that's as good on the pitch as it is on paper.
Sanchez had a really good game, but I'm still not totally convinced. I'd like Rodon and Tanganga (each alongside either Alderweireld or Dier for experience) to be getting more playing time at CB, we can only tell if we have one or both of a long term CB pairing if they play.
Reguilon makes a big difference at LB - Davies has excellent positional sense but Reguilon's recovery speed makes him a defensive equal, and going forwards the difference is night and day.
Nick Pope had yet another good game despite being beaten 4 times. Interesting to hear rumours around both him and Dean Henderson, with Lloris linked with a move to PSG to reunite with Pochettino. Personally, despite my undying love for Hugo, I think the time is right for that to happen.
