Absolutely about GN. Superb defender, fantastic concentration. Always reliable.Say what you will about Neville, but he obviously knows how to assess a RB performance. Huge praise for Japh, absolutely love it.
True and it is very early days under Nuno. But Tanganga looked fearless against city. That element was part of the issue with our squad last season and we need players like him to intimidate the opposition. He's really strong but fast and very mobile and we all know from the documentary that he's hungry for success and has got his head screwed-on.Go back just a few weeks and there were plenty of people here insisting he wasn't good enough, or isn't likely to be good enough. Now after one game he's suddenly our entire future. This place is absolutely mental.
I always liked him and thought he had a lot of potential, largely as a centre-back, so this isn't a dig at Japhet. Just that yet again, as always, opinions completely change after just 90 minutes of football. Had he had a poor game some of these same people would have been throwing him under the bus.

If he keeps up that sort of quality performance then I'm all for him keeping the position.
I suppose there's a bit of leeway when it's a new season and a new manager, but you're not wrong. It is a fickle sport. Lee McQueen on Last Word on Spurs likens it to the Okey-Cokey: one week in, next week out.He was brilliant. I said in the match thread he looked world-class. I'm not discrediting him. Simply making the point how quickly people's opinion can do a 360, or at least a 180.
I had just thought that on 36 seconds. That was almost dembele-esque.His strength is up there with Dembele.
Doesn't use his body as well as him yet, Poch was brilliant at getting his players to get their body between oppo and ball, often Tanganga is shoulder to shoulder or a bit behind (not yesterday though) but hopefully, Nuno can develop him on this.I had just thought that on 36 seconds.
