Even the ref loved our Jan. He gave him a little slap on the bum during a 1st half corner, no idea why !!

When I do that in the office... I get a letter from HR.

One rule for one and one for for another

on a separate note - Toby has been exceptional this season - remarkable and his passing is vital for how we play.

Give the man another deal, 2 years with an option. He doesn't look to be slowing down at all. Sort out Toby too while you're at it Levy. We have 4 quality CBs and used them all last night.

Jan edges for one reason.... He brings more calm to the defence. Last season he got Sanchez playing very well, this season Toby hasn't had that effect on Sanchez. Jan is our leader at the back
Eh, I find this to be a narrative that doesn't really have any basis in reality. The defense (for the most part) crumbled in big games last year without Toby. I've posted the record a few times but it wasn't pretty, including this year against Arsenal.

I love Jan’s celebration. Shame we so rarely see it these days.

Watched with a couple of mates who are Spammers and both of them said that his celebration is quality. One of them through gritted teeth as he really hates seeing us play well.

We really need to give Toby and Jan big contracts

Not sure it's going to happen with Toby though :(
Watching Toby celebrate our third goal yesterday with as much passion as he did, I just dont get why he doesnt just sign a new contract. He obviously loves life at the club.

Its strange, ain't it. We have the best 4some of CBs in world football, keeping them give us such a fantastic base of the squad and gives us so many options on how to defend different teams. I love watching them.

Jan doesn't like his hair messed up though does he, always smooths it back into place if his team mates have ruffled it up lol

He has been like that all year and has been one of the top three players this season for me.

I dont know what the contractual situation is or whether things have moved on where they are irreparable. It would be madness to lose any of the back five - the one stable area of the team.

(not including Trippier - he is allowed to go - ill drive him)

Very well deserved - was one of the best performances and on par with Dembeles against Juventus away

Hell of a week for Verts - I bet his wife/gf really did sort him out this week
