Should be fun watching Kaboul, Chiriches, Vertonghen and Fazio taking it in turns to go on surging runs from the back!

Of the 211 players to contest 50 or more aerial duels in La Liga last season, Fazio had the best success rate at 77.4 per cent, with the centre-back putting his monstrous 6'5" frame to good use. His average of 4.4 aerial duels won per league game was better than any Spurs player, with predecessor Dawson the closest to matching that with 4.1.
To put that into context, of all the players still at the club, fellow centre-back Jan Vertonghen won the most headed battles per league game last season, with just 2.5 in comparison.
Dominant in the air, Fazio is more than capable of defending when the ball is on the deck, too. The powerful defender also averaged more interceptions per game (3.3) than any Spurs player last term – Etienne Capoue’s 2.5 was closest to matching that – highlighting his impressive reading of the game. This will suit the high defensive line manager Mauricio Pochettino’s deploys, where he prefers his defence to move up the pitch as a unit to plug the gap between the backline and the midfield.

Seems like it. Capable of dominating what are physically very strong centre backs and strikers in the air. Pretty rare.
Perhaps we can throw him on a striker if we struggle against Liverpool? Classic Samba tactic
True. We're well on our way to having most of our defenders be very talented on the ball.

Watching that vid of him with Costa, he could be the perfect bloke to wind up LooneyTunesBalotelli

I think Balotelli could be an even bigger liability today as he has just been left out the Italy squad... Ticking timebomb!!

was fazio watching today's game ?
he should be to be gaining confidence
Thought I saw him behind the bench (on TV).
International break now, chance to work with at least some of the players on the training ground for Poch. Wouldn't be surprised to see Fazio start after the break.

Surprised not to see anything about that whack job now banning Fazio from their stadium!! He was planning on bidding former teammates and fans a final farewell after 7 years there and he's now got to do so in another stadium....
The bloke seems as deranged as Vincent tan - I hope fazio didn't use his business phone...

I was thinking this. But purely in theory at the moment.
