Depending on who starts, having 2 of son, lamela, dele, eriksen, lucas available as subs could be massive, and allow some rest as well

Dembele also looked the best he has in a long time, i think 30 minute dembele could be a real weapon this year, there isnt any situation he should start twice in a week, but as a sub? Still effective
We won that game because of the Dembele substitution in my opinion. For all the criticism Poch takes regarding his subs, he did nail them today. Lamela made that excellent run to set up Kane and he looked good.

I also forgot to mention before how awesome it was to see Alderweireld back! I hope that the fences are being mended here and he ends up staying. The back three looked so good with him there.
