any Gardner or Fazio performance
he wasn't great for sure, but your comments are just silly
I won't, I'm a big fan of them bothVlad, Kaboul, Fazio, Dawson? This is just from recent memory.
Vertonghen was poor today but he was returning from a long lay off and was his second game in four days. Him and Toby are still our best pairing at CB.
With hindsight, Dier and Vertonghen might have been a better pairing today at CB.
Let's not throw Foyth and Vertonghen under the bus as yet. However our patience with Aurier should be wearing thin. His reaction after giving away the free kick that led to their first goal was appalling. It seemed like he was trying to blame Foyth for his lack of ball control.
Won't help his confidence with Aurier lashing out at him in the open like that. Same thing happened during the Man City match when Trippier started yelling at Foyth when it was in fact he was who in the wrong. Bullying should never be tolerated.
My mistake. It was during the Wolves match.When did Foyth play against Man City?

Foyth is young and will make mistakes. We just have to stick with him and he will make less mistakes. However whilst he should get chances against Southampton, Burnley etc, he should not have been put into the NLD. I know he played against Chelsea but we had no option that day, today we did.
Meh, he's a grown man, it's his team mate.Won't help his confidence with Aurier lashing out at him in the open like that. Same thing happened during the Man City match when Trippier started yelling at Foyth when it was in fact he was who in the wrong. Bullying should never be tolerated.
Him shouting at Foyth in the first half when he was the one that give the foul away isn't healthy for morale. Why is Foyth being made the scapegoat for other players' blunders? I completely understand the whole thing about having thick skin but viciously blaming another mate (conveniently the most junior player) for your mistakes can't be healthy.Meh, he's a grown man, it's his team mate.
It's funny but for many years I hear after a loss that our players are too nice and don't have a pop at each other, when they do it's seen as some negative.

IMO he was almost certainly shouting at him for lack of communication, not telling him what’s on etc. Aurier was being doubled up on with no help from midfield, he needed some help, this doesn’t always have to mean a physical presence (I don’t think he made a mistake also, he was getting overwhelmed)Him shouting at Foyth in the first half when he was the one that give the foul away isn't healthy for morale.

I'm going to assume they sort it out in the dressing room or the training ground.Him shouting at Foyth in the first half when he was the one that give the foul away isn't healthy for morale.
