Appreciate your reasonable reply to my post, and it's ok to have contrasting views, but it's the way you express that opinion which can needle people (you're not the only one, by the way).
Fair enough. Going to take a break anyways. Off on 9 months work
 
Indeed.

Together in the league when Vertonghen and Fazio partnered eachother.

Played: 16
Won: 10
Drew: 3
Lost: 3

With 1 of those losses coming against eventual champions Chelsea at Stamford Bridge and another coming against previous season champions Manchester City.

Bare in mind, we only actually won 19 league games and lost a whopping 12 that season.

If we take into consideration the points won when partnered together and put that over an entire season, we would end up with about 78 points, which would have been enough to finish 3rd just 1 point behind City.

Jan/Sanchez
 
Good point.

Fazio got a lot of stick when he was partnered with those not named Vertonghen - like when we partnered him with Dier or Chiriches.

Wimmer/Vertonghen didn't partner eachother once, if I remember correctly. It was mostly Wimmer in a back three with Alderweireld and Dier and he came in as a stand in when Vertonghen was out injured.

Regarding Sanchez/Vertonghen, here is their record together since Sanchez signed in 2017:

Played: 21
Won: 14
Drew: 4
Lost: 3

U sure about Wimmer?

Coulda sworn he had a solid run in a duo.
 
Yeah Wimmer was usually always partnered with Alderweireld if he was playing in a duo.

Wimmer started just 13 league games in his entire Spurs career.

He partnered Alderweireld in 9 of those starts. The other 4 came in the following season where he started at left back in one game and played in a back three in the others, getting subbed off at half time in one of them.

Holy fuck!!! .....:dembelelol:
 
Yeah - away at Stamford Bridge of all places after a run of 12 games unbeaten from the start of the season.

To be fair, his record with Alderweireld in back four was pretty spectacular and it was probably harsh to actually drop him for Vertonghen upon his return from injury.

Wimmer/Alderwereid in the league:

Played: 9
Won: 6
Drew: 2

Lost: 1

They had some tough games too. They partnered eachother in THAT win away at the Etihad and the two draws were against Woolwich and Liverpool (away).

The only loss coming against West Ham away.


There ya go.... I knew he'd impressed me at some point despite the meme-ing receives.
 
Tbf, they had a good run together that year we spanked the chavs 5-3.


Lmfao.
While the first goal was not his fault, watch his terrible positioning and complete lack of urgency when as went 0-1 down. Then he gave the ball away stupidly which directly led to Chelsea pulling it back to 4-2. Then he was very lucky the ref did not award a penalty against him at 4-2.

You may as well have picked the Woolwich League Cup game that we lost 1-2 as an example (although I think Vertonghen was only on the bench for that - and was probably glad he did not play!)

I wasn't pointing to that game as a great Fazio performance.... Just that he and Jan had a good run together that year.
 
How is he doing at Benfica?
Scored an own goal in what I think was his debut(?), didn't see it so don't know the circumstances around it. Played once more, did OK I think. then go injured in training, broke his cheekbone so missed the internationals and probably a club game too(??). But returned to the pitch last night with mask........
