I’m surprised people are focusing so strongly on Vertonghen v. Traore. Jan is a very intelligent defender and our current shape means that he’s supposed to stay back when there’s any danger from the opposition.

He knows how to use positional discipline to negate a speedier opponent. He just needs cover when he goes forward, so Traore doesn’t get in behind him. They will have worked on this. It might not succeed, but you can bet the manager has a plan for it.

Kane best score a hattrick... and Son too...

My fantasy team is decimated with injuries and a measly 12 points yesterday.

Would like to see Skipp given his chance soon BUT Dier and Sissoko did well in our 5-0 win against Burnley.

I‘d certainly play Skipp over Foyth in defensive midfield, still a bit disappointed he didn’t get a start against Bayern.

But, but, he’s slow Traore is fast, your post is far to logical for the match day thread, here we only deal with words such as fast, slow, shit and useless :)

Im not optimistic at all that we're playing with 10 men and a tree in the middle of the park.

Might as well play Skipp. He might not have the defensive qualities of a DM, but neither does Dier in his current form. At least Skipp provides midfield qualities moving forward.
