Doesn't matter what the fans think.
If Poch and the players believe in their abilities. They can achieve whatever they want, with a bit of luck thrown in.
Poch picked him ahead of Toby long after TA was declared fit....
That's called evidence.
All your waving about is your belief that TA is a better player.
Not saying you're not welcome to said opinion, but it has no bearing on the contradiction you're making.
Side note: Sanchez was fucking awesome vs England. Toby had a couple of good games too.
I'd happily make a charity bet with you; that with both acknowledged as fit, Dav is our #2 CB.
You can pick the stake and charity.
You in?

Poch has shown time and time again that his decisions on starting players are made on more than just ability.
Right or wrong, if you slight him or the team, speak out of turn - if he sees that a players head isn't in the right place or that they no longer see themselves as part of the project then he would rather start a player with less ability and give them a chance to prove themselves for the benefit of the team as a whole. Bigger picture.
As i say you can debate on whether he is right or wrong to do this but it is proven that this is the way he operates and i think he deserves to not be questioned too much on it.
Facts are - in Poch's mind when both fit Sanchez starts before Alderweireld.
We would all prefer a fit and firing Toby back in the first team as an ideal scenario, but if that is never going to happen then aren't we better off cutting our losses and giving Davison the minutes he needs to hopefully eclipse Alderweireld as many believe he can?

Lol... Says the pathetic resident kiss-chase troll.
He's got you bang to rights, you tragic, gooner cunt.
I think i just said the same thing didnt I?
It may be life or death to you relative to anything else you have got going on... but it isn't to me.
Carry on.
It can only help the team if some showed a 'bit' more belief and support, mind.
OK, sure.
If TA is still a Spurs player after the windows ends, and if both DS and TA are fit for all six matches according to physioroom.com, I bet £20 to the RSPCA Toby starts more of the first six Premier League matches than DS. If it's a draw (3 at the back or rotation makes this feasible), we both pay, as it's for charity.
Fair?
Toby still a level above sanchez. & yes the personal insults & abuse rose gets is not needed & out of order. But apparently you're a truer fan if you call our current players cunts & worse.
In the same way it makes you a true fan for slagging off the board & the transfer policy, the wage structure & so on?
Rose has repeatedly gone running to the press to tell his story which involves slagging his employers off. He even had a go at the fans.
There is a level below that for SC Nonce ITKs
Kinda but lets base the bet on whenever that 6 game period eventually transpires. i.e. Be it Sep or Dec... Regardless of when both become available for selection.... Let's get a conclusive outcome.
Both must be declared fit during said spell.
Bench counts as fit.
Cool?
Edit: League cup and FA cup ties are considered moot too.
On Zaha reportedly wanting to join Chelsea...
We may have finished above them but they finished the season with a trophy by winning the FA Cup. Season before that, they won league. Since our last trophy in 2008, they've won the league 3 times, the FA Cup 4 times, the Champions League, Europa League and League Cup.
While we may be a more stable club, with an arguably better squad, Chelsea have a history of winning trophies and Spurs don't. So opting for them over us doesn't necessarily mean he has a poor attitude. He may just see them as being a better bet at winning trophies.
