Jan Vertonghen

I think this has turned into the ‘who can still post while being the most high’ thread!

Play him in goal and Hugo up front - he doesn't know where his kick is going, so neither will their GK

Jan could do a good job in M/F, but playing up front is not going to work.

 

[SteveAWOL]

Vertonghen up front? Really?

Words like old dog and new tricks come to mind.

Vertonghen played #10 for Belgium in his youth, so hopefully it’s like riding a bike and he’ll rediscover his scoring prowess...

Well who knew!

Would still be amazed though.

 

[awesome dawson]

Toby has a shot on him. Play him up front?

You know how those crazy Dutch love their total football!

What you guys discussing Verts like he's long retired!

I thought he and Toby were both awful today, Toby in particular

Jan was worse by a looong way
His passing stats must be horrendous

 

[AdamB]

Toby was dreadful - how any CB lets Giroud of all people run in behind them for the first goal is beyond me.

Looked a bit like those veteran football games

There was one before it was well where the player got in behind and hit the side netting and Toby watched him do it. But those mistakes aside, Toby was ok.

Jan looked like a pub player for much of the game particularly second half.

So, 'aside from letting them have two goalscoring chances from very stoppable situations' Toby was ok?!? If a CBs the opposition two good goalscoring chances, I'd say his performance was not ok!!

I'm not saying that I wouldnt play him going forward, but he was poor today

Not what I'm saying. For 25 mins, he was diabolical. For the last 65, he was okay.

Jan was pretty poor throughout.

 

[StephenH]

Jan looks so slow and lethargic!

I worry for him for the remainder of the season, and also for his next move for when it comes to it. Hopefully he can get back in to some kind of form to help us as well as reassuring Ajax that he has something left in the tank for a season or two there.

Personally I wouldnt play him again. I'd have Toby, Sanchez, Tanganga and even Dier ahead of him in the pecking order at CB

FWIW...
