Someone needs to do a gif of that run, with a price tag cha-chinging up each time he ghosts past some overpaid chumpSo calm and I almost get a semi when he brings it out from defence. Glides past players worth 75m
Personally I think he has been one of the very best central defenders of the season, he was simply magnificent last night
Really should be in contention for team of the year after being so consistently good this season.
I actually think opponents make a mistake when they have their target men going for Vertonghen's side. Lukaku often drifted right when they booted it long, seemingly looking to get duels with Vertonghen over Sanchez.Absolute beast lastnight. Owned Lukaku yet again, he must really hate playing against Jan.
(Yes, i'm turning a cheeky blind eye to that 'one' slip against Everton, which was kinda unlucky.)
There must be some tweets / funnies doing the rounds of a "Lukaku in my pocket" gif

Not sure if opponents identify Vertonghen as weaker physically than Sanchez, Dier and Alderweireld. Even if that's the case Vertonghen just keeps making good decisions on when to challenge, when to just try to contain and when to drop off. Unlike Smalling and Jones who kept making the wrong decisions against Kane in those situations.
Ander Herrera really is an absolute twunt of the highest orderMan handled like a boss. Herrera walked into him ... snide by herrera but vertonghen should not have got involved
