Player Micky van de Ven

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

The thing that makes Micky's goal more impressive than Sonny's is the the pace of it. Micky looks like he's only going 80-90 %, yet the Copenhagen player that was actively hunting him looked like he was barely keeping up and really giving his all just to do that.

With Sonny's goal there were actually a good few Burnley players keeping up, but they were too hesitant to foul him.
Copenhagen couldn't foul Micky even if they wanted to once he got going.
 
It looked like a pro vs a Sunday league team. Amazing to do that in CL game. It's the best CL goal ever IMO. Appreciate the obvious objection re standard of oppo, so no need to respond on that basis!

The LB idea is interesting. I've no idea which position he prefers or is better at tbh, but agree that once we have Vuskovic and Dragusin we are stacked for CBs, and could do with another LB as well as Udogie, and Spence as cover.
 
Everyone talking about how far he ran but his composure at the end of it is high clsss. Thats what you see Halaand do and he only runs a quarter of that distance. Theres very few forwards in the league have that composure never mind a centre back who’s ran 90 yards. Magnificent
