He is looking very good this season. I think with Toby next to him and Dier in front he's looking very solid. He's clearly a very talented footballer, but seems to need go through strops if thinks aren't going his way.
Long may this continue, can't remember the last time we had a solid centre back partnership.

I agree with everywhere!
But also remember Lloris. Hugo kept us in the game today ..... we had some luck too.
But Vertonghen is playing very well ATM.

What luck? Palace hit the post twice, but other than that were completely outclassed. Spurs dominated the game, and a 1-0 defeat flattered Palace big time.

Well, their GK should have saved Son's shot.
And Lloris can't always act as superman with saves like that.
And they did hit the post in the first half... a goal then and it would have been a different game.

Crystal palaces 2 posts completely papered over their cracks today. Spurs were dominating before their 1st smash and grab post and the same before their 2nd. Spurs were by far the better team today

we were 2 or 3 goals better on balance of play.
you have to ignore planks like ted, because he cannot even be happy when spurs play well and win.

With Son taking the limelight recently it can only be good for players like Kane and Lamela in terms of taking the pressure of them. Hopefully they will get more space to operate in.
Eriksen played a couple of lovely through balls when he came on and the sooner he is back to 100% and playing like he did this time last year the better. Need Dembele' to come back to give Dier a break soon too. He is becoming more and more important to the team.

I'm very happy that we won. I would have liked us to win by more than one goal. I would have liked Kane to score.... Great work rate.
And I'm thankful we still have Hugo in goal.
And I thought Ali showed what a find he is, only 19 and possibly our next Gareth Bale. Poch needs to keep him playing for the team and not himself.
So... I hope that sets the record straight for Asheholes like Chronic who cannot even read wots in front of them.

I think todya showed how difficult Palace will be to beat this season. Completely outplayed but still dangerous!
We did well today but I think we're struggling to score enough goals...

It's ironic people giving Verts credit for playing well purely because of someone alongside him?!
Surely we should be giving more credit to the other player than, rather than Verts.
Sorry I still don't rate him highly. Yes he's played well this season, but it's only a few games in, and when the going gets tough he chucks a strop and reduces his effort.
Read back to the Stoke game- I'm sure a few on here were accusing him of ball watching!!
