Disagree Think Maatsen is better at pretty much everything I would even go as far as saying I don't think it's even close and it's only a matter of time till Maatsen is a regular starter 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always surprises me how good he is for a little guy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can ping any type of pass into him and 90% of the time he's controlling and passing it which helps break the press or allows us to reset our build up. I doubt Maatsen will be as good at that, but his extra pace and confidence beating his man will offer a different dimension going forward. Especially since we are playing with Ramsey and Rogers both can somewhat fill that outlet role that digne often does though neither have as good a first touch. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do you doubt that he’s able to do that? I may be wrong on this but Maatsen also seems to be more willing to press the attacker on the edge/outside of the box and sticks to them like glue but Digne prefers drifting inside to cut off any low passes.

Because digne has an incredible first touch. If digne was a little more atheltically gifted he'd have been one of the best Lbs in the world. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyp102 Posted Tuesday at 20:52 Share Posted Tuesday at 20:52 Not seen tonight so can’t comment on his performance. Noticed he became a dad recently, may be another reason why he hadn’t been starting in the league yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobzy Posted Tuesday at 20:56 Share Posted Tuesday at 20:56 Trash performance, worst player on the pitch. Been great in cameos so far this season so not overly worried - but God, that was awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't catch the first 20 minutes of the game, so maybe he was OK there. There was a period in that second half where he gave the ball away time and time and time again and then just seemingly couldn't be arsed to try and get it back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinebro Posted Tuesday at 21:02 Share Posted Tuesday at 21:02 (edited) One of the best players on the pitch for me Players were not on his wavelength which limited his options in an attacking sense. Edited Tuesday at 21:02 by Pinebro 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough, just thought the whole team was disjointed, even Barkley couldn’t pass to anyone in a white shirt so Maatsen wasn't alone. I didn't notice him not tracking back tbh.

He was covering the two at CB for most of the game, he was up against a couple of players for most the game that were trying to bully him. I think, currently, most of his best attributes are going forward, but he didn't shit himself doing the donkey work either last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
