Today he slid to block the ball across the box. There were plenty of other guilty parties but he was not one
One of the better players on the day, yet you look for the negatives all the time, great 'support'.

My point is why does he always do it? Why does he always slide in? Why cant he stay on his feet?
I dont give a brick about his performance against this Saudi Sportswashing Machine team in a post season game that no one cares about.

Why? Because for reason on this board our brick defenders never get criticism.
Only 5 clubs in the league have conceded more than us.
Yet the defenders never take any stick. There always someone out there blaming a midfielder for it.

Not sure if serious.

Seemingly you do give enough of a crud to bump the thread after that very game to complain about him...
He slid in to block what could have been a very dangerous ball across goal. It was a nice dribble from the toon player, but also a perfectly fine defensive move by Vertonghen. Would you prefer he just let the ball come in across the face of goal?
The thing is if he stayed on his feet like suggested, he would probably have complained about not sliding in to prevent the cross, lol.

Not one but two brain farts this time... He does have good games but a top class defender does not switch off like Verts does, over and over again

What do you mean by top class?
You talking about the select few centre backs we couldn't dream to sign even if Real Madrid made a mistake and accidentally sent us the Bale money again this summer?
Not sure verts is top class by any definition. Last summer wasn't he linked to Barcelona? I think it's time to get real.
He is a good player, good enough for our mid-table side however that's all. If we put him in a better back four then maybe he will tighten up his game and show some of that original promise.
Anyone know what the current deal is with Vertonghen and any possible contract extension? Transfer Markt has his current deal expiring in June 2016 with a two year option to extend which both parties need to agree. He could walk away from the club next Summer on a free, so I wonder if things don't look positive whether Levy will look to offload him this Summer, could this be why we have seemingly targeted Alderweireld.
