Player Micky van de Ven

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

I honestly think Van De Ven is a massive problem for us. Not because of his ability, but because the last two managers base our defensive line on his pace and we are being torn to shreds because of it.

I also think he has that temperament that has stopped the Dutch national team winning tournament. An arrogance and superiority complex that leads to unnecessary arguments and in fighting

Congrats Micky. The Guardian has you down as the 96th best footballer on the planet. The only Spurs player to make the list.

The gooners almost have their whole first eleven in there. Nice one ENIC!

I saw that its a brutal indictment of Levy. I also recall when we had our first eleven. Total roll reversal. The people who think our wage structure can stay as it is are living in a distant past. Its not the Guardian playing favorites they had Tripper in their at one point such was Pochettino midas touch

Damn- happened exactly as we thought it did- and folks were torn to shreds for suggesting the team took matters into their own hands!

There are some serious apologies owed, although it's doubtful we'll ever get them...

😂😂😂😂😂the one guy who has pretty much played at his level every game give or take a couple is a massive problem? His desire on the pitch is evident every time he plays. He gives everything. Micky is not a problem at all

I think Van Der Ven is nowhere as good as he thinks.

I also believe he is too arrogant.

Whether he is a problem may be debatable but I prefer players who keep their mouths shut, and when you are part of a defence that is as leaky as ours, he should focus his energy to where it's most needed.

A stronger manager or one not in as precarious a state as Frank might drop him after talking to Neville, and saying what he did.

LOL.

No it’s not debatable. We’ve got plenty of problems but he isn’t one.

Our fans wallow in so much self pity they legit create problems for themselves and create narratives that don't exist.

Our fans remind me of all my ex's
 
Van Der Ven is an issue.

By no means the biggest but his arrogance and what he came out with re: the previous manager, his shows of contempt to Frank, and that he seems to distance him from the dross of last season and this, are shocking.

My opinion and comfortable with it.
