It was the best centre back partnership in 15/16 and 16/17 but is it now? Alderweireld has done fairly well this year but he hasn't been imperious and Vertonghen was the one who gave a needless penalty away and got sent off. You can set the team up how you want but if your experienced players make stupid mistakes then there isn't much you can do.
Eh... had we started our best CB partnership I really doubt the game would of finished 4-2 with Vertonghen being sent off.
We'll never know how it would of panned out, but you pick your best and experienced defense for a game of this magnitude, simple as that imo.
