He was our best defender on the night, colossal performance.
I thought he was excellent last night but agree with the first Sterling goal, he seemed to duck away from the ball and it flew in the goal.
Imagine how dull the game would have been without that early goal though!!
He’s no Virgil, who is better than all our CBs and everyone who ever played football
But seriously, do people now understand the fucking difference

Peerless last night.
Someone forge his signature.

Van Dijk has had a fantastic season and in my opinion deserves the plaudits that come with consistency and quality. Painful though it is sometimes it should be respected.
And I think all our central defenders this year have been off their best but 4/5 years of Alderweireld and Vertonghen together, mixed last season with a superb debut year from Sanchez is to be applauded and applauded again.
No one can possibly doubt the elation or the muscular nature of Alderweireld's picture of jubilation.
Lets see if that passion he seems to have for the club convinces him to stay and sign as a free agent or whether he takes his pride and service elsewhere.
Definitely some passion shown last night by Toby.
If he goes he better go to like PSG for eleventy billion pounds a week.
If he's just out for one last big payday to make millionaires of his grandchildren, I can live with that and I can live with Spurs feeling that they can't sign that deal.
But barring that, we HAVE to get this done if there is any ambition whatsoever for 2016-17 not to be the peak of the Poch era.
Next time we play keep an eye on how our defenders in the box stand while trying to block shots, arms tucked in tight by their sides.....Pochettino might have his doubts about VAR, but he’s preparing already for it....
That howler by de Gea has made top 4 and CL very unlikely, 10:1 odds I think.
Normally I'd be ok with them overtaking goons and chavs, but this time I'm hoping that we can keep hold of Toby. ManU are the most likely destination, but without top 4, with a manager whose PL claim to fame is being fired by Cardiff, possibly another manager by Xmas, and with a massive rebuilding job, then just maybe we might be able to persuade him to stay.

Unfortunately, I think the best we can hope for is that Toby fucks off to another league - probably the Bundesliga with Bayern.
And with Chiellini and Bonucci getting up there in age they might see Toby as a nice stopgap whilst they find a younger heir to Chiellini.
Both him and Vertonghen are world class.
The reason we are losing so many games is because they are sorrownded by average fullbacks and midfielders.

I'm resigned to him leaving but just hope that he signs for a foreign team.
Juve or Bayern would be kinda acceptable, I would be gutted to see him play for United, not least because he would be a huge improvement over the centre-backs they've got.
Not at the weekend.
Why was Toby 6 yards deeper than the rest of the back line allowing Antonio in?
Why was fucking Davies 6 yards away from Anderson and let him cross without even an attempt to block it.
It happened against City too in the league.
With better fullbacks than Trippier and Davies and better midfielders than Wanyama, Dier, Winks and Sissoko and better Backup ST than Llorente and Janssen at least 8 or 9 of those 12 defeats could have been draws.
