Jan Vertonghen

One thing that concerns me is Poch's repeated references to the squad being unsettled and how that might apply to Jan. The focus has largely been on Eriksen, Rose and Toby, but Jan is another one of those in the last year of his contract. With him not being played in any of our opening games, I query if he is "unsettled" as well.
He's the manager. fudging settle them.
 
True dat... without Dembele, Wanyama or Dier to shield the back line we’ve got into a bad habit of conceding sloppy goals in recent months.

Hopefully N’dombele will be able to fill that void when he’s acclimatised but that might take a few months and I dunno if Dier is any where near match sharp, after missing pretty much the whole of last season, to cover in the meantime.
Think you'll find Dier is gonna have to play RB.

That's a shiner that's nearly healed.

When he got dropped, I thought it a bit weird he had those sunglasses on all game when watching up in the stands.

Although he was on the bench at City, and don't think there was any trace of anything last week.??
 
What everyone's theories on his black eye then?

Pochettino attempted to remove negative energy from Vertonghen’s aura by lobbing a lemon at him.

His inability to react in time was why he got dropped again.

Think you'll find Dier is gonna have to play RB.

Hmmm, guess we’ll soon find out whether he’s anywhere near match fit then.

Still dunno why Sissoko doesn’t get tried out as RB, as would seem the position which best suits his abilities.

I think Sissoko is a good option, but depends on whether he is needed elsewhere ie if Ndombele is fit.
 
Or perhaps there has been a disagreement between Verts and another player which has remained behind closed doors and didn't impress Poch. Hence Verts is benched as punishment. Whatever the explanation, it puts paid to the narrative that Poch will not drop his favourites.

When I see him drop Dele or Eriksen even when they are playing bad I will believe it.
 
I hope that given we dont play til 430pm on Sunday, that we can play our full team...or at least whoever is fit.

If someone is going to leave by the end of Monday, then realistically discussions will need to be in progress by Sunday
