Patrick van Aanholt

[nyikolajevics 2,690]

How did he do? Is there any match highlights

I only found this. He had some good moments(4:00)

He was subbed in after the break, they concerned the goal in the first half.

Wtf was Persie thinking with that cross

He just jumped over the ball!

Im still recovering from the scars of Bosingwa, last thing i want is the LB version. Being a little suspect at defending is one thing, being a full blown liability is another.

PVA would be ideal for a stubborn purist who thinks defending isn't a part of the game (cough*Rodgers*cough) but thankfully our manager ain't one of them.

He looks realy strong and.has good pace...he would definitely improved hazard too on the.left flank... It's about time to give someone from academy chance..

he is classed as Homegrown that is supposed to we worth an extra 10million or so

I like him, a lot... Really think he can help us next season. Jose is not just a manager but a trainer, he can help Patrick improve defensively. As is his tools going forward are off the charts and he can be considered a loan success story.

I say give him at least half a season under Jose to show what he can do before we make a decision on him.

But will that half of the season be enough for him to improve defensively?

I think so. Azpilicueta improved immensely under Jose, as did Cahill

Azpi and Cahill were already good defenders though. PVA has A LOT to learn.

He doesn't need to reach Azpi level defensively, he just need to reach decent/good. If Mou can do what he did with Marcelo, PVA will be okay.

PVA should be on the team next season even if a new LB is signed, he will come handy against the lower EPL teams the ones we have struggled with. I don't see a reason for him to be shipped out before given an opportunity.

Yeah I agree. He's definitely ready to be the back up left back of the team and as you said, he can also be very useful against lower PL teams. He's also home grown IIRC. We'll see whether he'll get given that opportunity though.

Not in my eyes, adequate but not good. I think Jose has passed on a lot of wisdom to them and they've flourished.

Hasn't made Netherland's final 23, unfortunately.

Let's all cry together now

well I think it is a pity as it might have given him a chance to impress
