Oi that defending was a bag of shite, what the fuck happened there?
He does it all the time, gets too excited and gets drawn to the ball rather than focus on the danger around him.
Great defender when the ball is on the ground but when it’s in the air he often gets it wrong. He can still improve a lot.
What about the 6 - 1 at Newcastle where he put in one of the worst performances ever seen, and yes I include Dav, Dier, Ramon Vega and even, Harry Maguire and Phil Jones in that.Johnson and Porro had awful attempted clearances leading up to the goal and the shape was all wrong - Romero should have been more clever sure but people coming on here and saying hes over rated for that are insane - wise up lads ffs.
His attitude is terrible. We should try playing Dragusin next to Vdv.What about the 6 - 1 at Newcastle where he put in one of the worst performances ever seen, and yes I include Dav, Dier, Ramon Vega and even, Harry Maguire and Phil Jones in that.
The there's the countless other goals we lost because of his complacency or lack of concentration and awareness.
The Milan CL knockout matches where we lost the first cause he got obliterated by their LB, and the drew second cause he got sent off.What about the 6 - 1 at Newcastle where he put in one of the worst performances ever seen, and yes I include Dav, Dier, Ramon Vega and even, Harry Maguire and Phil Jones in that.

Or when he got sent off against Chelsea giving them a penalty as well. Ending our record breaking start to the season. Could have been sent off moments earlier as well. VAR had a close look so he was a target after that... Instead of being careful he followed through with that clearance. What a complete idiot.The Milan CL knockout matches where we lost the first cause he got obliterated by their LB, and the drew second cause he got sent off.
Fuck me Messi found it hard enough to win an proper international trophy with Messi in it.Overrated ,easy to win trophies with messi in your team try with Brennan Johnson and Timo Werner
But remember, according to some, we have the best individuals in every position and the best manager. It's just every referee in the World has to attent a PhD in "hating Spursology" is the only reason we never win things. The only reason.What do we win by pretending that he is one of the best CB's in the world? He clearly is not.
He isn’t, he’s top level, the best I don’t think anyone says he is, he is very effective at what he does. His only weakness is his temperament IMO. It’s funny, I’m guessing you’re quite young and think Vinnie Jones was just a thug? Vinnie for his day was well well advanced over other players in his position. He was brutal but he could actually play football. His temperament was a bit of a concern but he was a baller for his position.What do we win by pretending that he is one of the best CB's in the world? He clearly is not.
Vinnie Jones was not a well advanced player. He was actually quite simple but raw. He would even admit so himself.He isn’t, he’s top level, the best I don’t think anyone says he is, he is very effective at what he does. His only weakness is his temperament IMO.

Some people just like to moan about not having peanut butter when they’ve got jam.I really don't know what to tell his detractors here tbh.
Even brilliant players make mistakes sometimes.
