Micky van de Ven

Fantastic today. I called him MOTM in the OMT.
It's one thing to have speed but he has anticipation, tenacity and skill to add to his great passing ability.
He might make EPL team of the year.

Nice

 

[Darnswim]

He's incredible. An actual specimen.

 

[Hampshire Spur]

Player of the season for me and gets my vote. One of best defenders in the world.

 

[RicharliSon]

He's phenomenal. Genuinely wouldn't swap him for another centre-back, and there's some superb defenders in the Premier League in Van Dijk, Stones, Saliba, Dias etc.

 

[Doom Funk]

Flawless today

What a player

He’s a cyborg

Fabulous signing...... Plays like a veteran.

 

[Zomb]

One of the best 90mins from a central defender I can remember seeing. Unbelievable physical tools and reads the game in terms of his positioning very well too.

You expect him to win every duel and every loose ball in the defensive half, which is so so valuable in this side. We could basically just have him at the back on his own for 90% of the game because he is so dominant there. Unreal.

Agree

U missed his passing. It’s simple, not risky but so well paced. He’s a superb, simple passer - crisp and accurate

 

[Mrs Perryman]

If we can keep him here long term it would be a miracle

I imagine the big clubs are going to poach him from us in the next couple years

This kid is unreal and our best player by a mile

That's my fear too. However, he appears to be quite sensible and down-to-earth and hopefully if Ange is allowed to build a successful team, maybe he, Destiny, Pape, Vic etc will be happy to stay, at least for the foreseeable.

 

[Top_Spur]

Class player.

 

[Perryman]

Should be a good contest with Ollie Watkins next Sunday. He certainly won’t run past Micky.

MoM.

 

[Shades]

Fantastic performance yesterday..

 

[Richard Arlison]

Took a knock on the ankle then Mateta tried to pull his arm out it’s socket.

Wouldn’t be surprised if that ankle needs a rest next week and Dragusin gets his chance.

 

[nicoclaesen]

He’s on another level from any other defender I’ve watched this season in any country. That’s how good this guy is. His all round game is flawless and just gives that feeling that when we are in trouble he’ll get us out of it. The two things that I loved about yesterday was how sharp and quick he passes the ball and when he needs to clear the ball he’s doesn’t always try to be clever and just takes everything and smashes it into the stand.
He will become one of our greatest defenders ever in the coming years.

No chance this guy is given a rest.

 

[Richard Arlison]

Not a rest. Reckon he might have played on with that ankle and it comes up swollen and needing to be protected. I’d rather that than losing him another player to a long term ankle injury from a bad challenge like Maddison and Bentancur
