I'd try and stick with the same defence for a few games. I think the backline we played today could develop into a strong unit. Important to play the same players for a few games.

Playing Vertonghen and Toby is the only logical thing to do at CB as they head and shoulders above anyone else we have.

Sanchez is having a bad start to the season after an ok ish last season but certainly didn’t improve on his first season. Poch needs to get him out of the side or he’s going to cost us goals/points like he already has done this season.

Play Aurier or KWP at full back until January when hopefully we will sign someone better.

But you’re on to something with the first paragraph. It’s quite simple, play Toby and Jan at CB and stick with them.
 
Why was this not addressed in the transfer window once Trippier was sold? We looked at dozens of midfielders and forwards but not a Right back. We have 3 quality left backs but one out of favour Right back and KwP.

And Foyth who Poch clearly sees playing there but is injured
 
Would give Aurier a run there to give him a chance to show what he can do.

If he fails then promote whoever is in the youth team.

KWP is not it for me sadly.

I'm really not sure what is going on with our player recruitment!
I have little faith in the current setup!

Foyth is not a fullback! I'm quicker if I pump my tyres up!

We signed all of our top targets this summer and all are young and highly rated.

Foyth has played well at RB for us before and did very well in that position at the Copa America. He needs game time to improve, it seems a good opportunity to give him that in a position where mistakes are normally less costly than at CB.
 
Copa America is nowhere near as tough as the EPL. look I like Foyth but we must stop trying shoehorn centre-halves into a specialist position! If we have to then use Toby and Yan who have both high-level experience!

Are you not concerned by Sanchez’s inability to play in tight spaces?.... which is a crucial part of our fullbacks’ game if we’re to be able to transition from defense to attack.
 
Question should be until January ..

Think we will be bat brick crazy (or someone will have to played out of their skin) not believe we will look for someone then.

Right back market is in a real drought. So hard to find someone of real quality without paying massive amounts of money.

So we chose not to spend £50m on someone. That to me there are a couple of potential explanations.

1. We felt we had to prioritize other areas. That we would gain more by spending that money elsewhere.

2. Pochettino rates our current right back options higher than many of our fans. Worth noting that KWP only has 10 first team starts in total so far, could very well be expected to improve significantly over the next 6 months. Similarly Foyth is only starting to grow in confidence and experience in that role, and in the PL in general.

I'd say we delay our judgement until these players have been given a chance to show what they can do. Pochettino has done great things in the past with full backs and young players in general. Surely he should be trusted to have a plan?

10 starts you say?
And MOTM in 3 of those games.
Clearly Poch knows more than most fans
