Home » 3 Killer Quotes

These three hand selected, organic, artisan quotes sum up the rock solid positives to be taken from the Chelsea win.

Graeme Souness said: “Can I just mention one player that we’ve been raving about tonight: Victor Wanyama. He was arguably the best player on the pitch. You’ve got to give the man of the match to Dele Alli, but Wanyama was a different gravy tonight.”

The Wanyama signing is one of those killer deals that only happens once in a Blue Moon. I’m talking a signing that nobody, but nobody screams about. A deal that has most people greeting it with a casual ‘he looks alright…’ type response.

Wanyama is a Modric scale buy. In fact the similarities between the value of the players to us are equally severe.

Some of you reading this still don’t fully understand how important Modric was to us.

Modric was undroppable.

Wanyama has been undroppable this season.

Answer me this, who else in our current squad has been undroppable? Kane hasn’t been undroppable. Against Chelsea, had there been a better option on the bench, he would have been hooked at half time. If the quality gap between Lloris and Vorm wasn’t so huge, then after some of Hugo’s crazy antics he would 100% have been rested.

If my auntie had wheels, she’d be a bicycle, yada yada ya… but it’s all true. 

Poch said: “We were playing one of the best teams in Europe and I thought we played very well, we were competitive and that’s important. It was a very solid performance, fantastic. And what I mean by competitive is to suffer when you need to suffer, to be solid, to be strong in your mind and always believe.”

We competed and won ‘at a top table’ when we played Chelsea. That’s not up for debate.

Yes, their amazeballs run was built on beating some right old muck, but the point is, when it came to the crunch. We crunched them.

Dele Alli said: “I’ve worked on it a little and we do finishing all the time in training. It’s something I want to add to my game and today it felt like I could only use my head, not my feet! I didn’t feel like I was in the game too much until I scored that first goal.”

Dele is a young kid, but once you agree to wear the shirt, once you start dancing the salary dance, you automatically renounce the right to make excuses. He wasn’t in the game enough, and that’s something that Poch and his coaches will be gently reminding him about when he trains.

Alle is getting into the right places at the right time and that is a simply wonderful start.
