Patrick van Aanholt

[Sir Mikel OBE 4,742]

Another Assist.

[Oscar 441]

He's really good going forward, but leaks a ton of goals.

Sunderland fans are mixed with him, but at least he is getting significant minutes now.

Just as long as 90 of those minutes are against us at The Bridge.

[Sir Mikel OBE 4,742]

Started on the bench, came on, and got an assist with the 15 or so minutes he had. We've produced some good league fullbacks this year in him and Bertrand. Obviously he has more ways to go than Bertrand, but he has it in him to be a very impressive player for years to come.

[Oscar 441]

Such a huge liability defensively...

[Tomo 21,681]

Big Sam puts such a huge emphasis on defensive solidarity i can't imagine him not looking at a left back to replace this guy.

If Sunderland had a competent left back they would have got something against Arsenal yesterday.

Possibly the only defender in the PL that makes Villa's defence look like the Berlin Wall by comparison. He is utterly shit.

Offensively he is probably the second best in the league though. Always looks a threat going forward.

No good to us then, far too positive.

He's got to be played as a winger IMO

Eh, I'm not too sure about that. He may look better going forward as a fullback because he gets a lot more space coming from deep. He might not get enough room as a winger.

He's so bad defensively though there's no chance he'd be in a team I'd pick, but you're prob right

He is just a rubbish player really. Not talented enough offensively to be a winger or defensively to be a fullback. Maybe he'd be good in a team that absolutely dominates possession but there are better choices out their for offensive fullbacks. Just another case of people being blindly optimistic about the clubs youth, I suppose.

Scores again.

 

Always a threat going forward.

Hes world class going forward and the fact he didn't make it here just goes to show how unbelievably bad a defender he is, in that regard he makes Danny Rose look like prime Ash.

. I see another side picking him up when Sunderland go down.

 

The threat he offers going forward will, at least at this stage in his career, always see him as an option in this league.
