He was their best player by a mile last night, i know i have said it before but this guy has all the tools to be a world class player.

Indeed - did not give Harry an inch of space all night.
My problem with Sanchez is that he looks so mature and so physically developed, that I completely forget that he is only just 21. 21, for crying out loud!
What a gem! Can see why Poch sees Toby as dispensable...
Hope you're not being serious...Sanchez is a third centre back for us but in an ideal world, Toby would be on his right. Those three, including Vertonghen are being proven as world class in Russia.
Alderweirald is looking for more money, his current club will not pay it, he will then have to make a decision.
This now has little to do with Spurs.
Totally agree, that might be what MF meant when he said Toby was "dispensible". It's not a case of throwing him out but the realisation that he will go and we need to look elsewhere at CB.
Imo it was when Son made himself undroppable that Poch abandoned the back three.I get the feeling that Poch no longer wants to play a back 3 on a regular basis; if that is the case, the two centre-backs pick themselves... I have always rated Verts as better than Toby and Davinson offers the pace, strength and height that Toby cannot. At this stage, Toby is obviously superior in terms of positioning and interception but I believe Poch is willing to live with that until the Columbian acquires those skills with experience and age.
Toby is too good and too costly to keep long term as a substitute or just to employ in a back 3 against a handful of the top sides; so yes... he is dispensable.
I'd still prefer Toby's reading of the game to Sanchez's pace.
Saw some muppet on a website talking about how Spurs know fudge all by wanting to sell him. As if that choice is our own.
Agree Toby was far from his best last night but even the much taller Fellaini who went up with Umtiti could not stop him.He didn't cover himself in glory for the France goal today. Completely lost track of Umtiti because of a simple dummy run.
Fellaini had to rush in from some distance. Just couldn't make it there in time. Umtiti was clearly the responsibility of Toby, and he failed.Agree Toby was far from his best last night but even the much taller Fellaini who went up with Umtiti could not stop him.
My point is even if Toby had tracked him he would still have been beaten for height.Fellaini had to rush in from some distance. Just couldn't make it there in time. Umtiti was clearly the responsibility of Toby, and he failed.
He could have nudged him out of position if he followed him closely.My point is even if Toby had tracked him he would still have been beaten for height.
Agree he should have been much tighter on him.He could have nudged him out of position if he followed him closely.
