Best part of Ferdi is his versatility.
Thought he was VERY good going forward today, but not great defensively.
He can play LB, RB, CM and on the wing giving us so many options.

With how incredibly Baleba was playing I think it was fair to criticise, but he was tiring and it was a good sub in hindsight.

Blimey we must have been watching a different game. Defensively he was shocking!

But offensively he was very good, could have had three assists if forwards finished/took better touches.

Very true but as a left back his primary task is defending. Very early days though.
As for Pervis could this be a critically turning point? Brought back from injury too early by RDZ he's looked off the pace due to resultant time out. Yesterday was a glimpse of the old power house with the great link up with Mitoma. If the resurgence continues I guess the question is where positional wise Ferdi might fit in if selected?

Ferdi was (when trying to defend) absolutely shocking.

This.
So I hear
To be fair, I was pissed and watching on TV so my judgement may have been askew. It was his attacking play that caught my eye though.

Ferdi was incredibly poor. The MOTD2 highlights show him all at sea for every foray down his side.
Agreed, left loads of space and seemed to be in no man’s land far to many times

It's very early days. Like many of the other new players, he needs time to settle.

Let's be honest, every player taken off at half-time is always pasted fairly or unfairly by fan messageboards afterwards, it's the law judging by 20 years of online media

Estupinan change was good but definitely the difference was the midfield and forward pressing, so obvious on TV. Unfortunately I wasn't there so I didn't get the whole picture.

What changed the game was the Van der Ven/Udogie clanger, we suddenly had belief that having a go at them might reap rewards. The puzzling thing was just how little fight they had in them, history repeating itself from their lame disaster here 10 months ago

When there isn't a defender to run into.
Ok
I caught some of the Villa Man U game on the concourse and thought both teams looked poor after playing in Europe in midweek. I was then really surprised by the quality of the Spurs apporach in the first half, their press was far more active and cohesive than ours. The momentum swung and yes they can virtually sub half the team off, but there may also be an element of them running out of steam in the second half.
