I know sanchez got motm (don't agree with that decision) but I though xhaka today was immense - for me the guy dictated the game in midfield, and allowed his more acclaimed team-mates to do their thing
I loved the way Holding stood up to Costa aswell mate 8) only way to play that *word censored*
Me too - thought he was man of the match again at Wembley. About time someone stuck one on that c.unt - liked the way he just got up and tapped his head after that exchange in the first few minutes. Wasn't going to let that prick sucker him in like some of our previous melts have

To the man they were excellent today. Ospina gives me more confidence than Planky.

The back 3 were excellent. I love Rob Holding, what a signing that is. Monreal scared me for a while going in hard in some challenges on a yellow, but fair play to him as he made all the right tackles.

Xhaka controlled the midfield brilliantly. Ramsey nice forward runs and goal. Ozil had some great plays/passes but should have scored at least once.

Welbeck worked his ass off and threatened their back line all day. And credit to Giroud for the assist, that was a lovely pass.


If we find out it was Wenger's last game in charge, this would have wound up being a wonderful season.

MOTM Welbeck. Ran and ran and ran.

Should've been 4/5-1. Absolutely battered them.

Though Monreal was great, very vocal and encouraging and played like he cares.Reckon theres a footballer in Xhaka too.
Wouldn't be disappointed if Ozil moves on,thought at times we were most vulnerable when he was in possession.And no way was he goin to kill off the game though he had great chances.Doesnt seem to be in his dna to be clinical.

Btw, I was amazed after the game when they showed the winner was straight from the kickoff. Felt like there was a good five minutes between their goal and ours.

Wenger seemed keen to get out and wave to the fans at the end. He didn't seem as keen last week.

If we win the Community Shield or League Cup or FA Cup next season it means another trophy at Spurs "home ground "
