Senior call up!
Put in a tackle to deny a goal, still needed Toby to do a follow up with a good block. I love the kid.For me he was amazing today, great composure and very good on the ball.

He is a beast. Agbonglahore whilst not a great player, he has been arround for years and therefore has some cunning to his game. Many times today he was pulling his shirt on the blind side of the ref, he might not have bothered, he didn't bat an eyelid. He went for a diving header towards the end of the game and left one of their players in a heep.He didn't look like a kid to me. He looked quite frightening.
Surprised everyone felt he played amazing, I thought he gave away a lot of stupid fouls for no reason, pushing people in the back when no need etc.
Good block but not sure he deserves much more praise than that. Villa were shite.
(For the record I think he's talented, he's had far better games for us than he did today. But didn't think much of his performance for this one.)
Considering Vertonghen's injury, I think CCV will be used in every Europa League game we're in (with the possible exception of the final!)Wimmer (or Davies) are more likely I think as they are left-footed, whereas CCV is right. Pochettino clearly thinks this is quite important. Could mean more benchtime for him though? (and cup chances too?)

We need to keep Toby fit in Jan's absence, so hopefully he'll be in as few cup games as possible - and we need to find the remaining back three from somewhere in the squad.
