He played left centre, Toby as right centre, in a 3, same as for us. Vermaelen was the central centre back.Did he play as a left back or central defender in this match?
Think his formed dipped during the AVB/ Sherwood period given the mess around the club and then post Poch he's just got better and better....seems directly correlated to his belief in the direction of the club and quality of team mates
Great talent but clearly was a point where he was frustrated with things a few years back that translated onto the pitch - don't blame him to be fair
Great he stuck with us and vice versa
He was off if Sherwood had of been kept on, and he wasn't alone in that.
The body language experts, with their degree in psychology, were certain that Vertonghen didn't care enough and was underperforming because he couldn't be arsed. I said back then that the problem is not that Vertonghen doesn't care. In fact it is opposite, he does care a whole lot, and when he is surrounded by mediocrity, it affects him, IMO. He strikes me as the kind of person who holds himself and others around him to a very high standard, and those types of people will only perform at their best when being part of an excellent group of high performers.Think his formed dipped during the AVB/ Sherwood period given the mess around the club and then post Poch he's just got better and better....seems directly correlated to his belief in the direction of the club and quality of team mates

No wonder he was depressed, playing for 'this guy'.

His defensive efforts from yesterday. Taught that young buck a thing or two

One thing's for definite, Jan Vertonghen is a damn sight better defender than Sherwood is a manager.
Argh ... I'm trying to retain myself but I can only assume you are wanting follow up questions so I'll indulge you. What is this about?Although I thought Sherwood was always a fan of Alli and Dier. Not sure why he’s been posting so aggressively about them on here lately
He was proper gutted when his shot didn't go in and Harry got the rebound wasn't he?
