Back today. Why can he never stay on his feet. When we concede look at Vertonghen and he's usually ended up sliding in and missing it.
Hang on, he was very good today and has had a really good season. Our best centre half by a distance

One of the better players on the day, yet you look for the negatives all the time, great 'support'.Back today. Why can he never stay on his feet. When we concede look at Vertonghen and he's usually ended up sliding in and missing it.

Why? Because for reason on this board our crude 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.
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 crud about his performance against this Saudi Sportswashing Machine team in a post season game that no one cares about.
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.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?
He played well and I do no think its just coincidence that with out best CB partnership back together and a better CM set up we looked a lot more composed and tight.
And a harder working AM trio
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?
Verts gets a free next summer if we don't get the extension signed. I'd imagine if he doesn't put pen to paper by xmas he will spend the second half of the season on the bench.
