Player Micky van de Ven

I think he was rested against Newcastle because Frank knew VdV would need to be at 100% to give us the best chance to defend Thiago.

And VdV was immense, which is not far off his standard.

Last season Ange got stick for running players into the ground.
Ahead of our busy Xmas period Franks rests VDV. Gets stick.

Frank knows what he’s doing.

On top of that he'll be very aware of how much time VdV missed with hammy injuries the last couple of years.
