He rarely launches long balls because Ange demands always building from the back. But his ability with his feet, staying calm under pressure, and playing good short passes are all excellent. He does a lot of bounce passes with the defence to draw in the opposition and launch ‘false’ counter attacks.
@mike@coys@spurs The cherry on the cake is how little he cost. Most fans were howling for the £40m Raya and when Levy instead got Vic for £17m, we thought he’d done his classic penny-pincher move. But it turned out Ange wanted Vic over Raya after talking to them both. Vic passionately wanted Spurs whereas Raya just wanted out of Brentford. Ange hires for attitude and character as much as raw talent. He’s obviously quite a good judge!
The most astonishing thing about Alisson’s acquisision is that it came after Klopp had watched him concede five goals to #LFC in the Champions League! Smart to look past the scoreline. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UW3H9hUE3wA

@hallenbeck @coys @spurs Nice. Sounds like the complete modern keeper.
