Bit early for me, thought i was in the Son thread and rated funny.
Senior call up!
Good for him!
Is Julian Green playing outside back now?
edit: nevermind, I saw he was on the line with CCV, Brooks, and Chandler and assumed it was a defenders line.
Put in a tackle to deny a goal, still needed Toby to do a follow up with a good block. I love the kid.
He didn't look like a kid to me. He looked quite frightening.
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.
I met him and about 5 academy players in the Jerk Centre before our 2-1 win over the scum. So I paid for all thier food, he is a nice fella. he has never looked back since. You can thank me all latter when he collects his Ballon'dore having previously led us to League, FA Cup, Campionship and CL.
He's a bloody unit for a 19 year old. Looked very composed out there today. Another fantastic prospect.
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.)

Thought he was great to be honest.
91% pass completion, 10 aerial duels won. He only committed 3 fouls. I don't really remember too much in dangerous positions, thought one of them was ridiculously harsh when Grealish just fell into him.
I didn't realise he was only 19; looks imposing already, definitely a works in progress but looked very assured.
A lot of chat about Jan's replacement...do we think CCV may get a little more game time in the next couple of months? I love Big Kev, but I'd argue in the games they've played thus far this season CCV has been better. Unflappable.
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?)
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!)
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.
CCV-Dier-Davies, still a strong defence imo.
