What's going to happen?
The keeper's going to kick it long, flick it on, and then you're going to run in at the far side and shank one in.
I think that's pretty much the conversation.
I think he said, listen, come on, be alive, make some opportunities, be brave, and if you get into these opportunities and you get in these positions, can you score?
He never gets goal side, either, Vertonghen, does he?
He's just always behind that half a yard.
You have to be aware, Vertonghen's not necessarily the quickest defender, but Martial is.
And I just think there's so many mistakes.
What was interesting from my position, Spurs so often play over three at the back, but they play in a straight line.
Today at times, Dier almost dropped into what I would say, like when Germany played it many years ago, in a sweeper, like that Libro, where just a couple of yards deeper.
And I think that almost gives Vertonghen the problem, because if they're in a straight line, you run into an offside position.
But because, I don't know if we can see it one more time, Dier is a couple of yards deeper, and I think that gives him the problem.
As you can see it there.
Look, Dier's now dropping.
He's in that position.
You can see Vertonghen has to see that, Ledley.
You've got to see that early.
Because straight away, your alarm bells are ringing in that position now, aren't they, as a centre-back?
More than any other club in the Premier League, this club has had great subs throughout the years.
I think back to Solskjaer when he used to come off the bench with a couple of minutes to go and affect the game.
