In fairness though, has Townsend been any worse than Chadli at the weekend who got an entire 90 minutes?! At least we didn't forget Townsend was on the pitch.
Serious question: did somebody lose Veljkovic down the back of the sofa at Spurs Lodge? He should be covering Dier, yet he hasn't been near the first team so far this season.
He was supposed to be going out on loan to a Spanish side and signing a new contract. As that didn't happen, I wonder if that's had anything to do with it? U21s not playing well in recent games, either.
He certainly signed a new contract in June, during the U20s World Cup, but the last I remember was talk of a loan to Leeds - but the club pulled the plug as Leeds wouldn't guarantee starts.
Why, oh why can we never put a game to bed. You just know there'll be the usual nail biting last few minutes!
