We need a senior CB in his prime that Dav and Tanganga can work with and learn from.
Someone like Orban at Leipzig who is around the 27 mark and has a few years left before the legs start going. By which point Dav should hit his prime.
Maybe he could play DM - SOMEONE HAS GOT TO, we open up like the red sea before Moses. Dier doesn't do it anymore. Someone who reads the game and is happy to tackle and graft. Why do we have nobody to do this? We already have
Lo Celso, Ndombele, Winks, Lamela etc and now we are linked with Forsberg and others. Let's sign someone who is not a sensational name but does a job. Rice, Soumare ? I would love to see Doucoure at Spurs.

Toby shouldn’t play alongside anyone. He can’t jump, his positional sense has deserted him, and he can no longer read the game. He’s a poor defender these days and has been for a while now.
Whoever gave him a new contract doesn't agree with you. He would benefit from Tanganga. He has had some bad games but he is not alone in that!

And that contract award was madness. It was rewarding mediocrity.
Toby on his worst run of form, by far got his wages at least doubled.
That's as mental as it gets.
He's a young CB being pulled into other positions to help out. Got to be half a dozen games into his senior/ professional career he deserves time.
Alderweireld, NEW CB, Sanchez & Tanganga with Dier helping out if he stays is good depth at CB. Just because he ain't week in, week out starter material at the moment let's not slate the young man just yet shall we?
Had a bad game but as a young player that has to be expected at times. Should be rested Wednesday but play next Saturday but not with Sanchez as CB. That CB pairing with Dier had never played together before and whilst we have to try out new formations it will take time for an understanding.
No, not literally.Except no-one came even close to saying that.
Things would have been easier for him if he had any support from Davies or the midfield.
Not even vaguely....
Joe you talk a lot of sense.
Some would agree - many wouldn’t.
Whoa he had a bad game against a very good attacking side.
It might be he has to go out on loan but hopefully he can learn on the job.
He has pace and usually marks well. Missed tackles yesterday but come on, he has been a real surprise. Work with him or buy another failure from France.
I remember when Stephen Carr looked like fish out of water and he ended up as captain. If you blood players, they either progress or fall away. I never fancied Walker-Peters but he had his chance. Let him have his chance and we will see. I do think that he will make it.
