He's easily among the 3 worst Spurs CBs the last decade or two.
Certainly the most brainless alongside Dire.

Appreciate the reasoned points, but Sanchez was well shaky today. All over the place in the first 5 mins. And that own goal was a real shocker. Just needed to meet it with a firm header, no stretch required, but instead glanced the fucker inexplicably in the bottom corner. Certainly not the only guy at fault for today's farce that I can agree on.Davinson shouldn't be made a scapegoat for today's result. He and Toby were handling West Ham (and Antonio specifically) pretty well. His own goal was disappointing but he needed to put something on it to stop a guaranteed goal behind him.
Aurier committing stupid fouls to give away dangerous free kicks and the inability of a Sissoko-Winks CM partnership not to get overrun was more to blame.
The ball was played in at pace from about 8 yards away at an awkward height, if he didn't make contact it was a goal anyway. Let's be more worried how easy West Ham got in to the edge of the 6 yard box to cross the ball.Appreciate the reasoned points, but Sanchez was well shaky today.

The fuck we got colour blind scouts now?While I am a believer that Sanchez gets an unfair deal on here, I'm not blind to his faults.
However like the Bergwijn deal where our scouts watched us against PSV and must have got Lozano and Bergwijn mixed up, I can't help but feel our scouts watched Ajax and got Sanchez and De Ligt confused.
I'm being kind to them.The fuck we got colour blind scouts now?
Twice in the 1st minute. Twice. One header, one pass.Watching MOTD2 Sanchez really bad giving away possession in the first min.
I remember the bad old days of Kyle Walker having at least one chronic brain fart every match. Eventually Poch managed to eradicate that (well, OK down to once every 5 matches or so). Harry and AVB didn't improve him in that respect one bit. But he was a couple of mill from lower league Sheff Utd. Sanchez is £42m from the Europa Finalists.Twice in the 1st minute. Twice.
I actually started a thread about our center half options that's how concerned I was. To me this is the new fullback crisis in waiting. We have not one elite level option at center back , they are all wanting in one area or another. We are down to hoping poor Rodon settles in to the EPL with exceptional ease.And Toby is past it.
But when I stated this all summer everyone was screaming for a back up striker.
It’s unbelievable - we saw how bad the defence was last year and yet Skrinar was seen as a nice bonus
Pretty much this, hope he's not a dud but he really is running out of time on that one.The whole point of him was that he came in young and fresh and would use his Ajax connection to learn his trade from the best 2 CBs in the prem and eventually take over the reigns when they grow old. That time has come and he has obviously learned nothing. He has no redeeming features. Never looks confident. Doesn't offer any goal threat at the other end - which is odd for a CB built like he is. He can't even say he hasn't had a chance like Wimmer before him.
I've been desperately willing for him to come good since we signed him, but he's a dud unfortunately.
From one game to the next, I struggle to work out what the pecking order should be. The 3 of them fry my head.I actually started a thread about our center half options that's how concerned I was.

It’s close mateConsidering what we paid for him m, I had high hopes but he seems shot now - still rather him than Dier at CB
