Federico Fazio

[SinghYid]

"I was captain there (at Sevilla), I was the reference for the players there. I was only going to leave for a good option, so when Tottenham came in for me it was a very good move. I wanted to try another league and a club like Spurs is one of the best in the world. Spurs was best option for me because it’s very important team in England and Premier League. I’m very happy to be here."

Why didn't Fazio play today?

We need him installed alongside Jan as soon as possible.

Kabul and Vlad backups.

Davies to replace Rose NOW. Rose can look okay against mediocre teams but the quality teams will rip us apart down our left.

Dier right back until Walker returns.

 

[BentalebWho]

We need to see Walker - Fazio - Verts - Davies/Rose soon. Couldnt believe Poch played Verts midweek. That's AVBesque in stupidity.

[Mensa]

Did well playing alongside a clown tonight like Kaboul had to against west brom

 

[ArcspacE]

Looked solid - would ever consider starting him in the PL with Verts out left

 

[YidoBuckler]

Little unstable with the ball around his feet with pacey players I think, but anything long he just sticks his head on, organises the back line well too. I like him.

 

[shawry1882]

I thought he did well not just the head but was impressed with his passing fwd, he had to hit some direct balls into cm and generally he succeeded.
I'm sure we will be able to rely upon him in epl.

 

[SchmoodSpur2013]

Taking his time to adapt to the pace, but good lord he's untouchable in the air.

 

[Nantynew]

I thought Fazio did well last night despite playing next to Vlad, who had another shocker.

We should be using these EL matches to bed in our back four, not to try put players who may or may not get selected for the first team.

 

[Stag]

Faz needs to be in *those* games against poorer opposition who bung it in the box. In the air hes a monster (but then again he should be, hes fucking huge)

 

[Louisiana Hotspur]

I think I read somewhere that he had 3 red cards last season and was responsible for conceding a third of Sevilla's penalties. Someone can correct me on those stats if I'm off, but I don't think lack of aggression will be a concern. If anything, he'll need to try and keep it in check.
ochbye:

Well that didnt take long.

 

[The Swellhead Spur]

Played well until the Red Card tbf to him.

 

[KeaneBean]

Well that didnt take long.

 

[gibbs131]

Well that didnt take long.

Welcome to Spurs Fazio. Poor bastard. Played well until the red.

Fuck that ref.

 

[Shnadsy]

After the disaster against Newcastle, I'm calling for this guy to be a constant in our PL back 4.
Don't care who he is paired with, but he certainly wouldn't have let that 4ft kid score that header.
Seems to have the grit and leadership we are lacking.

Jan has looked like utter shit this season.

 

[Millbanks]

Jan has looked like utter shit this season.

Couldn't agree more. And again, I reiterate, he couldn't look less bothered about being shit!

 

[InTheCity]

He's going to fuck himself over if he keeps that piss poor attitude up as no one with CL football will want him.

 

[Mensa]

Jan is playing within himself, such a shame, first season he could cover two positions himself he was that good, does he not understand like with Bale, Modric and Hugo, you get to play for Madrid if you put a good shift in at spurs?!! stupid prick
