Credit where its due. I slated him before but he was great today. The whole team were so much better defensively and with our shape and it never left our CBs exposed.

Chill guys. It was one performance against a poor city side. Let's see how he gets on against tougher opponents 😉

Thought he couldnt pass? Lol

Great pass out to Kulu for our first goal.

All round great game.
I don’t think his general issue on the ball is his passing, I think he often doesn’t have a picture in his head when he receives the ball and that leads to him taking poor touches due to being ill prepared for any pressure on him or having a bad body shape to open up his body to play a quick pass to his best option. Hopefully he can improve this over time. Great game from him today though and he’s certainly a solid defender with real physical strengths that’s for sure.

After City and Villa - "play a three man defence to accomodate this guy"
After Galatasary and Ipswich - "he is shit, sell him immediately"
After last night - "keep him in the side when Romero gets fit"

Never change Spurs fans, never change :)

Just my opinion but I’ve had him in the “Good back up, good defender, bit of a worry on the ball, not close to Romero, not close to wanting to sell at all.” bracket. Romero hasn’t been anywhere near his best this season but we all know he’s a much better player than Dragusin and that’s not a dig at Dragusin at all.

I know this will be unpopular but I think we cash-in on Romero next summer. Get top dollar, integrate some youngsters and with the Dragon next to him onwards and upwards

This all assumes Real Madrid want to pay £80 million+ for him, which I can’t see happening tbh

To be fair - we don’t have a particularly large sample set to judge off. So any extreme performance is likely to get an extreme reaction

I think he’s a damn good defender - but he’ll never be great on the ball. I’m encouraged so far

Genuine question- what makes you think Dragusin is good enough to be a starter for us? I think defensively he’s going to be good enough but he’s not a good enough footballer at this stage and may never be.

It's just a feeling that the stars are going to align and he'll come good in the next year or two. Also with the younger players we have coming through I recon we'll going to be getting better. If player turnover is managed I can see it happening is all
