Japhet Tanganga

There is not too much to elaborate on. I think he lacks technical ability and passing ability. He could develop, of course, but at 20 I think he is unlikely to become much better in that department. He did well defensively today, but he misplaced some simple passes and looked uncomfortable on the ball. A potential center back partnership of Tanganga and Sanchez would just not be technically good enough for me if we want to build from the back. What is not often talked about with Alderweireld and Vertonghen, but has been very important for us in recent years, is that they can play from the back and start our attacks with a bit of quality.
I agree with you here. Good physicality and positioning but technically limited.

On that basis, we should also give up on Sanchez. Tanganga is better on the ball than him
 
We looked lightweight in attack for the first 60 mins today. Play 4-2-3-1 instead
We looked lightweight in attack as we had wiggy doing his invisible act before we took him off
Him and Dele were very very poor with the ball and wiggy didn’t win a challenge
 
He reminds me a bit of

He also has that ability to drive forward and past the opposition. Like Kaboul and Dembele.
I think Jose will like him as a CB. He defends first.
I thought his marking and positioning were excellent, made Liverpool work to get any space - and they are exceptional at finding space with FBs and the front three
