Why does Mctominay need to play every match? some games against teams that will sit back in a low block he's pretty ineffective. Could we honestly say VDB wouldn't have played as well against Villa?
He doesn't need to play every match, I agree. I can say VDB would not have played as well against Villa because McTominay's job in that game was to get close to Grealish, he was there to stop him.
There is a lot of talk coming from Dutch camp. Every man and his dog has something to say about him currently. Even LVG saying he shouldn't have joined. He apparently stopped giving any interviews to Dutch press just to avoid the negativity.
Not in this team I tell you. One of the many good reasons Bruno is so good is that he's constantly moving about. Sure Ole might have loosened the strategic rope on him a little more than others, but even within the same area he passes and then moves to be able to receive the ball once more. Leeds were outstanding at this against us - and basically most other teams in the Prem this season. They move so much for each other, which is something we really really could use more of.
I see. But is this the other way round then? That Dutch media and pundits are negative (understandably, but anyway), and Van de Beek is trying to stay away from it?
I keep hoping for the day we see those 3, with Martial, Cavani and Rashford.
What is the whisper in the camp? What does he himself think about being a sub?
Optimistic, because he can't sink any lower.
Its quote funny to see Frank De Boer making comments on Donny when he doesnt play him as first choice either...
Unfortunately being Burnley it'll be land of the giants.
This logic...just because they will play long balls we should put big guys on the pitch? Still wondering how Bercelona and Spain have won so many titles on the late.
This is England mate - things work differently here.
He has no chance of starting v Burnley , expect 2 of McTom / Fred / Matic due to shithousing
Hope He doesn’t
I know but he's capable to bring back Lindelof too for this game so...instead of playing Eric/Axel with Harry (he said he'll start already...one yellow away to miss the liverpool game) and play high line.
The prospect of being paired up against Westwood and Brownhill too much for Van de Beek? I very much doubt it. If anything we need VDB in that double pivot to match their quick press with quick movement and passing.
I'm sorry, but this was not the game for VdB. Burnley are up there as the most physical team in the league and I feel like they would have bullied Donny out of the game. He'll get his chances to shine (in particular once we start europa league games), but at the moment you can't mess around with a winning formula in midfield when there may a title on the line
Yeah I would completely agree with that
That may be, but for Ole it's never the game for VdB.
It’s become an obsession for some people.
We kept the ball most of the second half. Its pretty standard for all teams to press in the last few minutes of a game when they have nothing to lose. This leaves openings for the forwards to kill the game. Unfortunately, Martial missed that chance.
This is so over the top. If he’s injury free he will be in your squad.yes the results are good, that's why he isn't changing and that's reasonable enough. But it's incredibly frustrating to see a player on the bench who you know is better than others who play. Even more so when the results are good, but the matches aren't. But that might just be because i'm Dutch and also an Ajax supporter. We tend to value good football almost as important as winning. I've watched almost all United matches this season(only 1 wasn't broadcasted here
). But most of the times it's not fun to watch unless you are real United supporter(Disclaimer: I'm not a real United fan, because United is my favourite foreign club, not my "main" club).I’m enjoying what I watched at United right now, may be you as Ajax fans have different taste, total football just not my taste unfortunately.yes the results are good, that's why he isn't changing and that's reasonable enough.

Where is this from?
He must be gutted to have given up life in LA for Manchester.
He's behind Wijnaldum and De Jong in the Dutch national team, that's a big difference with being behind Fred, McTominay and Matic.
Wrong. He was behind Marten de Roon under Koeman. Are you telling me that’s also big difference?
That would make him an idiot. If he wants minutes he has to impact games the way his competition does.
Agreed, that example you showed is a really good example where he needs to be more expansive here. He moves the ball quickly, but who cares if you can't make a pass like the one shown.
