The Villa fans sing 'You're getting sacked in the morning' at Thomas Frank and a chunk of the south stand appeared to join in after a little while. Boos at half-time once again.
🗣 Mauricio Pochettino: “Without Mousa, we do not exist. Tottenham does not exist. I put him next to Ronaldinho, Maradona and Okocha."
🗣 Kevin de Bruyne: “In a 5-a-side he’s the best player in the world.”
🗣 Jan Vertonghen: “People don't know how good Mousa is. Special player.”
🗣 Martin Jol: "He is probably the best player on the ball I’ve ever seen and I said that to Berbatov."
🗣 Granit Xhaka: "In the middle of a match, I told him what I thought. 'How do you do what you do? You front me up, I think I am going to tackle you and you manipulate the ball and move it so quickly.' He was laughing."
🗣 Kyle Walker: "You always think he's going to go left, but he pushes it that far that you can't get it. It's a joy to watch and the ball is like glue—it doesn't move from his feet."
🗣 Eric Dier "Have you not seen him play? Mousa’s just special, full stop. One of his legs is two of mine. His balance is incredible. His movement physically is so superior and then to ally that with the technical ability he has is incredible.
🗣 Kieran Trippier: "Best player I ever played with? Mousa Dembélé."
🗣 Danny Rose: "He’s made half the Premier League look silly with his skills."
🗣 Ross Barkley: "He's probably the hardest player I've played against. He's a strong player, he gets his foot in well and dictates play."
🗣 Victor Wanyama: "He glides past players easily in training and in games. You know what he’s going to do, but you can’t get the ball off him."
