akgw13 867 Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 kid is having a rough first half against ManU. Lots of misplaced passes and seems flustered by the big stage. Ajax CB's both are super aggressive carrying the ball forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stats 7,158 Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 He has been their best player along with De Ligt. Makes odd rash decision but can hold his head up high. Is a beast, fast like hell and very good ball playing defender. BT Sport commentators giving him rave reviews too. Big fan of his. Only 20 years of age too.

Yeboii 1,844 Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Can't see how people thought he was poor. He and De Ligt did extremely well considering the circumstances! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very very raw player. I have no idea why Bosz instructed CBs to dribble through the middle in finale! If our defenders did that I would get heart attack. However the difference De Ligt knew when to do it and when to simply pass the ball. And dont forget Sanchez dribbled twice infront of his goal, was lucky he didnt lose the ball. The moment with Rashford, the ball fortunely deflected from Rashford's, if it didnt, Rash would be alone in front of goal. I get Ajax try to play this style, but its finale we are talking about. And Sanchez is in years when he will develop his style. A CB should always be pragmatic first and creative second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At Ajax, being the technically competent is just as important as being solid defensively. That's the totaalvoetbal philosophy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we talk about finale here where playing like that is totaly unacceptable. For same reason I dont like Mou tactics against West ham or Watford, scoring one and parking bus. But when we talk about finale, I cant say he picked wrong tactics. You dont play the finals, you win them. Even so, its nice that Ajax got to finals, they have some cool talent over there (not sure about the coach tho), but for all the praise they are getting, it needs to be known they failed to win eredivisie which has been poor for a while now. They have some realy nice talents and squad average is lowest of all, but if this was realy good team, they would have won Eredivisie at least. They need trophies to win and their approach is making that harder, but they will probably lose all their best talents before that. Bottom line, I dont like totalvoetbal philosphpy tho. I mean, its great to watch indeed, but with such tactics you need damn best players in world to win trophies like that. Defenders should be defenders first, goal should be winning, not playing nice. Totalvoetbal is the opposite. It makes things harder for yourself. And no matter how nice you play at the end winning is absolutely all that matters.

The goal is always to win, but I don't see how people think playing nice football correlates to less chances of winning stuff. Ajax lost because of a lack of experience. United's goals weren't a result of the breakdown of the system. They scored from a set piece and a deflected long shot. Ajax's team lacked the experience in decision making in the final third. If Ajax had one or two more experienced, talented guys in midfield and up front, it could've been a different result. They didn't lose because of totaalvoetbal.

akgw13 867 Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 even though i thought he had a rough first half(its all i watched) I would welcome him here happily. he does have some good skill and great size/athleticism. Conte would drill him the way he sees fit. It is totally unreasonable but i just now assume that any defender conte wants he will iron out any of his shortcomings or scheme to put him in the best position possible.

He has a very good all around game. Extremely composed, and an incredible physical force. Not to mention caught Lingard and Rashford in a full out sprint. How many CB's are there that can do that? Would welcome him here for sure. He would bring a different dynamic to the team and allow us to play a more appealing and more dominant brand of football. Being able to hold the ball in the back between him, Azpi and Luiz. Possession is important in the big games. Being able to have more of the ball and set up more attacks is always beneficial. He would be a good step towards that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would be a good step towards that. he almost lost the ball fatally 3 times, through lack of awareness and trying to be clever. Also terrible passes going off the pitch and dribbling into players. But yeah , very fast and huge leap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
