Japhet Tanganga made 52 touches against City - 39 of them in his own half
He gave the ball away a few times. Like Sanchez, he can be a risk when pressed. Poch likes to play from the back and maybe sees Tanganga not ready in this area.
I would love to see them succeed. All three needs to improve on decision making with the ball as they do get caught often against better sides.
Pace, strength, guile, elegance, so much potential among them
Was weary of him at LB after last time, but he was superb yesterday
Just bought a Tanganga shirt.

XXL?
We might find out at a time of absolute emergency.
Lets face facts, Tanganga only got the call because Jan has turned into a concrete bollard and Foyth is not in the manager's plans.
It's not like it was a calculated gamble or a masterstroke.
Sadly that's what Skipp would need to get in the team.
Neither was leaving Kane on the bench whilst Ade & Soldado stank the joint out for weeks on end.....
Still who gives a fuck now eh?
....How about Rashford at Utd?
....Abraham at Chavski?
Yup, both broke through due to necessity not some gilt edged pathway to the big time.
Japh got an opportunity and seized it with both hands..... Ironically, he's still made less senior appearances than KWP or Skipp tho.
What is your point exactly?
I think he can be a great right back for us like Ivanovic was for Chelsea, on his favored side. When/if Sessegnon or another attacking left back is brought in, it gives us great balance. I thought Sanchez was amazing covering crosses and clearing the ball last night so dropping into a back 3 almost, when Sess pushes up seems to make sense
He's a real talent, makes me wonder why Poch couldn't see it right in front of him.
If we ever went to a 3 at the back with Aurier and Sessegnon as attacking wing backs, we could have some success I feel. Tanganga would fit in very well as a RCB in that system.
Defensively theres a couple...brooks lyon foster is beginning to excel imho.. central defender with a good touch and level headed goes to right back as well.
Tj has just been loaned .. dennis cirkin has a future imho as well.
Going Over stevenage @ the u/ 23 s tonight v brighton .
It was Davies' injury in Jose's first game that broke him into the squad.
And it was Poch that blooded him in preseason against some top talent.
So, in summary, fuck off.
We're well through the looking glass when we're bemoaning that Poch wouldn't give young players a chance like known youth incubator Jose Mourinho
Fact is, the club has an excellent youth setup that prepares these kids before the first team staff ever gets a hold of them.
