Moses has definitely surpised me with his defensive capabilities. But helps having the best defender in the league behind him.
When did Alderweirled sign for Chelsea!?
Lol he meant Azpi you nut
I know he did, but he is wrong.
Despite walkers big improvements he still frustrates me as a player. I feel he's a bit predictable and 9 times out of 10 he will run down the line and stop before cutting back and passing it back. Lately he has been a lot better with his assists I will admit but I still feel he has mistakes in him. Don't get me wrong I don't think there's many better right backs in the league but I'm not a huge fan personally. Danny Rose is a different gravy though. Totally proved me wrong he has with superb displays in the last few years.
both fullbacks are currently very, very good.
I have been on walkers back for a few seasons now due to his brainfarts, but he is now a lot better in this area, and is one of our most consistent players.
danny rose is outstanding, and both should be in the conversation when discussing the best fullbacks in the league.

Nobody can argue with how much the Spurs full backs have come on since Poch arrived. I don't think there is too much difference between Clyne and Walker at the moment but have no issue admitting that the Spurs full backs are the best in the league.

poch was a fullback wasn't he ? (who sometimes played centre back)
if they hadn't improved then I would be concerned
Both our two most consistent players this season and biggest goal threat when they go forward

Starting to think your a little biased edin. Alder is definitely the best cb, but he has been injured, and has not doen it for aslong as azpi in the PL.
two best defenders, most definitely.

Hardly that biased, its not like I've said Kane is better than Suarez or something. Azpi wasn't that good last season, even though he was one of Chelsea's better players.
Alderweirled was exceptional for Southampton, came into a Spurs side with the third worst defensive record and turned it into the best.
I'm not taking anything away from Azpi I think he is outstanding at how well he can play LB/RB & in the back three. Which Toby doesn't have, I just don't think he is as good.

Toby plays right back for Belguim
International quality out of position

CB primarily. Think you might have confused him with his Vidal Sassoon teammate Sorin who played LB

Great knowledge about Sorin mate
Is Vermaelen still getting picked ahead of Toby?

Now that's a perceptive comment!
Yes, Pochettino played as a central defender, but he would certainly have strong opinions about how full backs should play. He obviously influences Vertonghen and Alderweireld as well.
