robbo_11 Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 After a prolonged transfer, will he come here or Milan initially, his performances over this first half of the season have already shown this could be a fantastic long term signing for us. He seems to have settled in well and just comes across as a composed performer either through tackling, passing or reading the game as the last line of defence. A poster above highlighted this when Chelsea did find some space yesterday he jostled with Broja and eventually managed to get a foot in to allow Trippier, Burn and Schar to get back to support as a defensive unit. Unbelievably I don't think he has tasted defeat yet and with Holland opting not to take him to the World Cup we may benefit from some additional time with him being able to spend some time at home and enjoy the mid season training camp from a team bonding perspective. On the few occasions we have conceeded you can see from his reaction he is absolutely furious when it looked like it should have been another clean sheet. We've got a really great player on our hands who I hope can only get better. His relationship with Schar is brilliant, but longer term I think we will be due an upgrade just due to Schar age and potentially the amount of games coming up should we qualify for Europe or progress in domestic cups. Well done Steve Nickson, Eddie Howe and Sven! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JUICE690 Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 Was so sure he'd be highlighted during MOTD last night. One of his best performances for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 Fuck sake man. There was a point during that whole saga when in thought we should move on. Don't know how I would cope without the big Dutch tank now. This guy is the best defender in the league. Very soon, he will be getting recognition alongside Van Dijk when Liverpool rose.

Holloway Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 What the camera's don't pick up is his positional sense and his awareness, it's like he's got a 30 year old seasoned pro's head on his shoulders.
