Again far to many people are blaming the midfield ie Bentaleb and Mason refusing to acknowledge our weak CB's....you could have the ultimate midfielder in a two man midfield and with our current CB pairing they'd look Sh1t.
Have a look around at the quality of CB's at the moment. Dier and Vertonghen are two of the best and a really good pairing in terms of balance of skills.
I know both make the odd mistake, but if you look around you'll see every CB out there making mistakes (Kompany, Mertesacker, all of ManU's, Cahill etc)
I'd be over the moon if we could get Vertonghen signed to a new deal and went forward with those two. If Pochettino could get us defending as a team from the front, meaning the CM's could do a more structured job, and we brought in a RB with a brain, the CB pairing would be one of the best inn the EPL.
