Actually not sure if this is good or bad? Could mean he’s still no where near?

The Dutch have much more competition at CB and he hasn’t been playing. Van Hecke deserves to play

Could also just be that the Netherlands are stacked at CB. If we count Geertruida and Timber, who can play both fullback and centre back, then three are 7 options for those positions in that squad.

Great game. Once he went off I think it showed that he is possibly THE most important cog in this side under these tactics.

Yeah we were definitely worse when he went off. Funnily enough I didn’t think he had the best game compared to normal but I guess that’s to be expected with him being out so long.

 

[TOZ]

What's encouraging is after a long spell out he immediately looks the same player, strong, quick and brave.

I thought he nicked the ball quite a few times. I thought when he chased poku and won the ball he wasn't even full pelt.

agree, poku is quick but not VDV quick, could tell he was holding back. think Brennon does the same which is fair, got to be on the back of your mind

Another player that had to go outside to get the help they need. Apparently, world class physios aren't a part of our world class training facilities.

Dean Huijsen has made his allegiance to Spain (and had a good debut today against NED) - so Micky has one less obstacle with respect to representing Netherlands after VVD nicks off.

Reporter: “You’ve had a very difficult spell recently with injuries. How difficult has it been?”

VDV: “Very difficult.”

The depth and nuance of the reporter’s question is mind boggling

Micky has no obstacles to being one of the top if not the top CB in the world except staying healthy.

 

[glacierSpurs]

Maybe he just needs to play in a system that doesn't expose our back line that much and requires him to race back in 7 seconds to slide/tackle the ball. Not rocket science? Duh.

It's just Ange persisted on his system on whatever players he play. When things didn't turn out well, he never reflect on him and his implementation being the problem. For his wisdom, you would have expected him to know every single individual is different.

He's twice the player Huijsen is ever going to be anyway.

Huijsen is basically a Lenglet regen.

Ange has to understand that his players aren’t robots. Their bodies will break down if they’re pushed too hard so consistently. This isn’t FIFA.

The fact his getting criticism for taking him and Romero off when returning from injury after getting criticism for leaving them on when returning from injury indicates some growth. Reckon we'll see more rotation within games going forward
