"Never doubt Michel Vorm—he's a fantastic goalkeeper, he's a top man."
Mauricio Pochettino was unequivocal in his praise of the back-up 'keeper's display in Tottenham Hotspur's 1-1 draw with Liverpool on Saturday. The manager is not usually one to single out his players individually if he can avoid it, positively or negatively, but he was keen to show Vorm appreciation.
The Dutchman more than deserved it too. He was excellent repelling a Reds attack that at times threatened to overwhelm his side, again verifying why he is such a valuable outlier among Tottenham's back-up men.
