First it was signing Militao, now its Sanchez being a top CB?I haven't given up on Dav! Still think he can be a top level CB. Needs a consistent partner but he's got the ability just needs to cut out the brain farts.
you have to concentrate for 90mins
Dav's an 88 minute man but he's got 90 in him!
Believe!
For all the Day haters...
Agreed.He needs to be sold. Don't get you hopes please.
What you on about?Harsh.
Maybe he just got the luck that his performance deserved. After all, I'd rather be lucky than just good.

We play too many matches for anyone in the squad to be "not ready to start". Should he be the first name on the teamsheet? No. But he should play pretty often.That's fine. But let's not pretend he's ready to start. And accept that he may never be, despite the price tag.
There’s no ‘think’ this is factI think he's doing better because Toby is actually leading him. He has the calming presence next to him.
Whereas with Dier you get a guy who is all over the place and just blaming all the other players around him because he can't do his job.
We still need another CB in the summer. Perhaps that VVD figure would be able to help Sanchez and they could form a good partnership. Who knows.

I'd rather play him over Dier though and that's what I'm clinging on to right nowThose two posts complement each other in perfect mix.
You can have a CB who makes 20 successful tackles and 10 clearences and wins another 10 header during the 88 minutes.
But within 2 minutes as CB when you lose concentration, you can concede like 3 goals!
That is why one should not ever rate CB based on number of tackles etc.
I agree that he has generally played better in last 2 games. And fair play - both have ended in clean sheets. I agree that it would be harsh on him to be dropped after that, considering that alternative is Dier. I for sure hope he can improve much further and continue to be useful for us.
But I am still sceptical in the long run.
Cause once more - you cannot undo potentially costly mistakes with high number of tackles - one was the mentioned clearance, but he screwed up bad in the end of 1st half as well, when he just let Fulham attacker run past him without commiting in any logical way, that situation ended up with Fulham player being with ball at penalty spot in our box, and when it was pulled back, Fulham midfield player luckly hit it above the goal (that was mostly empty and trajectory for the ball was also free) .
