Player Micky van de Ven

He's 24.5, at this age Bale was already in Madrid. He's not becoming a fulltime LB or the next Bale.

Just a physically gifted CB that can do a little bit of everything, even though the fact that it's his athleticism that gives him the edge over most players in his position could be a cause for concern eventually. Too early though.

Tbh .. the goal was absolutely amazing and totally washes over anything ...but..let's not forget our captain bailing him out a couple of times and a shocking lapse of concentration and piss poor short pass that went straight to Copenhagen, from which a better team absolutely would have made us pay of ... Don't get me wrong, he's an absolute asset and his pace is astonishing. BUT overall he's a. way from the finished article.

He's fantastic at centre back obviously.. But sometimes I watch him burn up the pitch with ball at his feet.. And I sometimes think.. Do we have potentially the best left back/left wing back in europe, and are settling for having a top 5 centre back in the Premier League.

Either way, it doesn't really matter.. that's small print. He's great.

Nah; we have a Vert re-gen with added physical cheat-codes.


Said it over and over and over.... A sustained spell at LB will wreck him.

'It seems like Lionel Messi turned into Micky van de Ven'

You know you have scored a special goal when you are then being compared to Lionel Messi - and even more so if you are a centre-half, but that is what's happened to Tottenham's Micky van de Ven.

At present yes he is. I don't think we can play 3-X-X formation with Palhinha right now though- we'd literally have natural CB subs available in case something went wrong, and our league positions in both PL and CL aren't strong enough to be risking not being able to be competitive in games in order to try and win a one-off contest against some oppo. If it were a cup final where winning one game is of massive importance, by all means, but we're not in those situations yet.
 
done a similar run against united but got an assist from it, hes an absolute stallion once he gets motoring hahaha. the pain on that players face as he was trying to keep up hahahah.

I mean even playing him as a CM in a 3-x-x. Surely if Danso were in the starting lineup we'd need to reserve someone to play CB, right? If Palhinha were our only backup option that'd mean we couldn't start him without taking a serious risk.

There's risk for a potential injury even on the training ground........

Whatever the result of the NLD; we'll come out of the game wanting a big follow-up performance....... Best chance of getting one IMO.
 
Van de Ven runs through the entire Copenhagen team in a manner reminiscent of Puskás, and the commentator talks about simple football
