He (rightly) gets a lot of shit for his performances, but it's not wrong to acknowledge when he shows up. Dav was far from being the worst on the pitch today and looks like he is having a better run of form.

His passing was actually not that bad today, I was shocked to see him attempt a long one over the top to Bale, he doesn’t even bother with long forward passes in most games.
I think you’ll find Dav intentionally cleared it via a Fulham handball. Sly dog!! :mourlmao:
Ill give sanchez credit tonight he played well, until he nearly screwed us for their disallowed goal lol
Harsh.
Maybe he just got the luck that his performance deserved. After all, I'd rather be lucky than just good.
Partnerships. Who knew?
Sanchez is nowhere near as bad as people make him out. Some say he's the worst CB in the league or worst player in Spurs history. It's nuts.
He still is not good enough to be a nailed on starter but hes 24. He hasn't improved as much as I'd have liked and there's a decent chance he may never turn out good, but it would be stupid to completely write him off.

Who knew pairing him with a player that compliments his strengths and weaknesses is a good idea.
That’s not Sanchez’s fault. Plainly Hugo didn’t make it clear it should have been his.
It wasn’t faultless but that’s the life of a defender. There are VERY few faultless performances. And they would almost always be given MOTM.
This was an above average performance on the back of a first rate performance. He made a couple of crucial challenges again tonight. He’s definitely improving and deserves to start the next PL game in my opinion.
It would be harsh to drop him after 2 clean sheets.
top level CB? no chance! you only have to check that hash up of a clearance earlier for proof! not only does he not actually need to rush a clearance, he does it with the ball under him while going backwards and bending forwards..generating the power of a 8 year old....shocking defender! completely unnecessary.
and these costly moments are happening EVERY game! his decision making is awful, the sooner we get rid of him and dier the better. games will be far more comfortable once them two donkeys arent around to mess it up
One of Dav or Dier has to go. Clearly neither is starting level top 4 material.
Dav is younger and more upside, so my vote is Dier. Barely.
We clearly need a new world class CB come August. Then potentially another the next August, unless Rodon develops into that second CB role when Toby is on his way out for good.

Still hoping Sanchez puts it all together. He's reminiscent of Kyle Walker early on, or now he only really changed for about 18 months, in that he struggles to string good form together and too often undoes 70 minutes of good work with one massive gaffe.
Days like today give you the belief to sustain. But people give him too much stick at times. At 24 VVD had just moved to Soton from Celtic, and Jan and Toby were both still at Ajax. He's likely 4-5 seasons away from peaking. Be nice if he comes good before then, but certainly not one to give up on.
That doesn't mean we don't need to sign a pair of CBs in the summer, just that Sanchez doesn't need to be pushed out to make room.

That's fine. But let's not pretend he's ready to start. And accept that he may never be, despite the price tag.
