You are 100% right. Even with Conte hes been making mistakes which other players have managed to save us from. We need improvements at CB, hopefully we get some new ones in the summer.Yes, let's forget about all the dodgy games he's had for us over the last few years and all those rushes of blood to the head where he's cost us a goal.
Him being less shit than Sanchez and one or two others means little.
Will he be back for the chels game ?He seems like one of the only leaders on the pitch so we should stick with him. Hopefully conte can get the best out of him again and if we are continuing with 3 CB's him and romero should always be in the team when fit.
This is just a woeful take!!
Nothing to do with the fact we had to absolute cunts managing us? Nothing to do with how we set up and played under these two managers (the worst two performing managers in 20yrs)!!!??!
He's the best we've got at the moment, and we can't replace them all in one or two windows. He definitely has his flaws, but I feel like confidence in the back line as a whole would minimize the errors he has made that have cost us. In Alderweireld's last couple of years, he was night and day when you considered who he was paired with...with Vertonghen he looked very good, but with Sanchez, he looked average at best (or past it, which I think was the final "verdict"), because he made errors while trying to cover up for Sanchez's constant mistakes. When it comes to centerbacks, "one bad apple spoils the whole bunch", or "you are only as good as your worst" defender. I think if we want to battle for Top 2 or 3, he isn't going to be good enough to start regularly, but he's good enough to keep around for a rotation option.Yes, let's forget about all the dodgy games he's had for us over the last few years and all those rushes of blood to the head where he's cost us a goal.

He's just trying to save face, I don't know why people just cannot admit they're wrong sometimes, it makes you really foolish.
Or maybe I just don't think he's good, and hasn't been a few years, unlike yourself? Not everybody will share the same opinion on players as yourself, you twonk.
He's improved thus far under Conte but then so has Ben Davies and Harry Winks. He's still and will always be a carthorse, one that also has rushes of blood to the head. Being a bit less shit perhaps than the likes of Sanchez means next to nothing.
Couple of actually men in the team not pointing bluffers and babiesAhh man. Take me back
I feel that's a dig at Pierre.Couple of actually men in the team not pointing bluffers and babies
We miss this man massively, this should at least be recognised by every nut job in here now.

The problem is all with you mate.Any team will miss their first-choice centre-back.
But when your first choice centre-back is almost guaranteed to have 1 major fuck up moment per game that's the real problem isn't it?
