Would have been nice to bring in during the second half to calm the game down. Really think we're going to need him for the United game.

Since we failed to sign a CM and Poch clearly isn't totally confident with our current options, it might be time to switch back to 5-3-2. Play to our strengths, which happens to be employing three excellent central defenders at the club.

Concur with the above.
I'd feel a lot more relaxed with the Toby-Sanchez-Jan back 3. Particularly away from home. Rock solid.

Pretty sure he has a social media team - he had a number of PR-type posts last season also.

I hope he is here for the duration, but he faces an uphill battle making it into the starting XI. I expect he'll get plenty of games through rotation though.

Yep. Just hope the issues between Toby and Poch have been settled. If he's in the squad for this season, let's play him. Brilliant CB.
I'm hoping its just so he can get back to 100% before we put him back in there.

Even if he has a PR team, that's a very strange tweet to send out.

Getting Toby back on board would be huge. We would have gone through against Juventus with him IMO.

Has anyone thought he might actually be back on board but sat today because he just got back on Monday? I know we started the rest of them bar Tripps and Rose but i mean, he made the bench while Tripps and Rose did not

He sat today, because Sanchez is ahead of him. Lets see if he can win back a spot. We will be better if he fights for a position.

I don't know what's he's done, but we need him.
Judging by the pictures we've seen of him with the rest of the squad, there's nothing wrong.
So Poch and him need to put their egos aside and solve this for the sake of the club

Offer him a new contract and be done with it.

Yep, we have a shot against any team in the world when those three are fit and playing together.

Give me Toby in the starting lineup over seeing poor old Sissoko any day of the week. 3 at the back is a little negative, but only if you utilise your fullbacks incorrectly.

If Toby stays, use him for the greater good when need be

If we move to 3 at the back Eriksen will have to play deeper. Otherwise Son will lose his spot in the team when returns and that would be a disgrace considering Toby was trying to leave.
This team looks great, although it'll be Davies instead of Rose.

Lloris
Trippier Toby Sanchez Jan Rose
Dier
Dele Eriksen
Kane Son​
