He looked decent, but it was Norwich. Miles better than our other right-backs. He seems no nonsense which we haven't seen in a long while. I think that the last no-nonsense defender was Sagna. He isn't as good initially, but he is only 22, so could get better.

Yeah a very promising introduction, particularly bearing in mind how little time he has had with the team / squad.
( or maybe that’s a bonus )

Definitely an upgrade on Linda McCartney-Zoolander, but then my famous dead granny is too.

Early days but he looked good, considering he's in a new country, in a new league, at a new club that's managed by a complete vagina.

Also he had only worked with the squad for a few days. I like the look of him, has a bit of steel about him instead of the Lacy Paper Doily approach of Bellend :D

Anyone else notice that quite often we look like we have a player on our hands. Then, after a few weeks on the training ground they regress, having had all of their natural instinct to either defend or attack coached out of them. I won’t get excited because I have seen it all before.

Yes, I remember seeing it before with players with "Potential" being so badly coached or is that Mis-coached by TOF they regressed to shyte and it looks like Farteta has that tool in his coaching toolbox. :( :?

Yep. I'm amazed Tierney hasn't morphed into Clichy or Fat Kallossalsnatch yet. :shock:

He's gotten better and looks to be a quality addition. Once he gets better going forward, he will be a superb signing. Defensively, he rarely puts a foot wrong.

He's done more to win me over in 3 games than Bellend Bellerin has in 3 seasons

As long he doesn’t lose his defensive qualities when he gets better going forward

He looks really good. I know, early days and if we are honest Linda McCartney-Zoolander looked good too early on, but let's hope Tommi goes more down the Lee Dixon route rather than the Linda route.

Looks like we have a great Asian footballer of our own.

But credit to Son. if TT can have half the impact Son has had at Spurs he will have done very well.
