One of their lads has been tracking the season, his final assessment compared to last season

PL (like for like with 2016-17 after 38 games) : Pts = -9 , GF = -15, GA = +10

Progress.

His GA comparison of this season, to the one where Wanyama
was not in the squad and Toby played 2/3 of the PL games :

+1
 
A fit Alderweireld is a very good CB. However, a large part of what made things work for us defensively last season was the great understanding between him and Jan Vertonghen.

Whether he will be as effective elsewhere, we’ll have to see.

He will be. He's a top cb and would improve any side in the league.
 
He’s a very good CB, no doubt, but that relationship and understanding he had with Vertonghen was what made our defense so good last year.

Imo, he’ll still be good, but maybe not as effective.

He was very good for us too remember. I'd argue he brings the best out of others more than the other way round.
