Centre-back: Vlad Chiriches – 4/10
Difficult to understand what Pochettino sees in Chiriches. His teammates looked nervous whenever the ball went near him. Just why was Jan Vertonghen left on the bench?
Centre-back: Younes Kaboul – 6/10
Did alright on his first start since being officially named as club captain, especially considering he had to do the work of two defenders, due to the ineptitude of Chiriches.
Midfield: Etienne Capoue – 7/10
Solid and very responsible defensively. Offered little going forward, but that’s not really in his job description.
