Chiriches to fly to the rescue
Come back Kyle Walker, that's the cry from Spurs fans at the moment. Still no news when he may return but a recent Istagram photo suggested things were going well in the gym.
Kyle Naughton, like Danny Rose, had stepped up his game this season and was looking a reasonable right-back, now Tottenham are in a bit of a state with only Eric Dier available and he is a centre-back.
Tottenham are expecting Naughton to be out for three months thanks to Ryan Bertrand giving him 6 studs flush on his standing leg. It was not intended and he went straight to Naughton knowing it was a bad tackle, mind you he didn't get a yellow card for it.
It was a poor tackle and the commentator made the point that tackling is poor today, few players tackle properly. That may be of course because tackling is virtually banned from the game today compared with what it used to be. Someone brushes your chest you throw yourself to the floor clutching your face in a deliberate attempt to get someone sent off, that's the game today, one full of cheats.
Erik Lamela was no better and again the commentator had it spot with his remark when they showed the replay. Standing n his feet, oh yes just remembered he brushed my eye, collapse to the floor holding holding his head he did. Pathetic.
Touch someone it's a free kick, touch someone in the penalty area it's a penalty, football makes a laughing stock of itself at times. There are suggestions Younes Kaboul should have been sent off, quite why when he didn't even do anything wrong. A shoulder charge is still legal and that's all he did, it was a good piece of defending which a free-kick shouldn't have been awarded for.
Anyway beck to the issue at hand, we need a hero, superman to the rescue to help us out at right-back. Two games a week until Christmas basically, step forward Vlad Chiriches.
We know he can't play centre-back but as someone who loves to get forward he has now got to be the right back for the midweek games. Eric Dier will play there in the Premier League but he can't be expected to play every game.
Kaboul and Vetonghen will it seems be the Premier League centre-back pairing fr a while with Federico Fazio and one other playing midweek. Depending upon the opposition we may well see Milos Veljkovic getting a game or two alongside him.
Chiriches played right back briefly in a UEFA Europa League tie last season. It seems the obvious answer to the dilemma Pochettino now faces and it would keep him involved, plus take him put the firing line at centre-back. Plenty of us think he should have been shunted out there by now anyway, who knows it could be exactly what he needs.
The Romanian seems far more suited to the role than he does centrally and it will give him a chance to use the skill he clearly has with the ball at his feet more often. He will not be tested as much in the air, he can use the pace he has got, he may well make a decent full-back.
I don't believe DeAndre Yedlin or Ryan Fredericks can be recalled from loan spells until January so they are not options. Chiriches is our man, you won't hear those words too often.
