If he was anymore aggressive he would have been sent off for pulling down Haaland. I think with last night's game fresh in the mind, any demands for more aggression, should be tempered for now.

The Prophet Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 He just needs time. It frequently takes defenders a bit longer to adjust to the pace of the English game. He's had two rough Premier League games to start out with too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 He reads danger well but his execution of dealing with said danger so far has been a bit patchy so far. All good, I think that's just a pace adjustment thing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Jinx Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 He put in a lovely block/dispossession on one of their players last night in the corner. Their player had a look of “what the fuck was that” as Sven came away with the ball. The last part of that game was manic and everyone got caught up in it but he did well along with Trippier in calming it down just enough, he’s learning quickly.

Mahoneys Tache Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 He’s been nurtured and wrapped in cotton wool as a potential elite player his entire life. Tranmere away on a Wednesday night will have been like landing on the moon for him. Nasty elbowing hacking brawl in the classic English cup tie tradition. He did alright under the circumstances and Howe will have been watching him for his reaction and resilience. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brushed him off with ease. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

From Tranmere’s hackers to the Black Country Lisbon Exiles on Sunday is one hell of a pivot stylistically. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeletor Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 It's always more difficult for defenders to adapt to the league. I think he's been fine personally. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

An eye opener for him. The British lads have all been brought up with that to varying degrees. Will have introduced him to some of the realities of English footbaaaaal. 😎 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoot Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 I'm not really sure what hes done to raise a few question marks if I'm honest. He's been fine when he's come in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 (edited) Was a moment when near the corner flag that made me think he's going to be quality. Looked like he was about to get done and he put in a solid block tackle with the ball at his feet and played a pass straight into midfield like it was nothing.

Hanshithispantz Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 Sven Botman looks like he'd really love the monkey tbf, I reckon he'll end up being roped into the monta musika scene or whatever it is these days. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
