Yeah hes been playing it very safe in the games hes played with us which is understandable hes nervous. Thats more like what he was doing at Ajax making passes and bringing the ball forward.

He needs to relax on the ball with us and stop treating the ball like its a bomb when u see him playing for dutch and ajax hes getting on the ball picking passes out and bringing it forward.

After Lozano, today 37 years old Ribery toyed with him.
Can he even stop Boateng?
Worst player on the field by far.

Worse than Woj, Bernardeschi, Matuidi? Woj almost scored on himself, cant get worse than that. I felt sudden rise of panic every time he had to make clearance.

He missed his man three times which could have resulted in a goal. The work in defence that he did today could have been done by 10 mil euro player.

Minus that backpass in the first half, I thought he was fine today. The tackles were too Montero- ish at times, but he looked more comfortable as the game went on. Moving in the right direction, and should only get better.

He isnt compatible with Bonucci. I had my doubts but after seeing them over the last 2 games, I feel only 1 can start while the other defender needs to be more agressive, Chiellini type. He looks slow as well, not to say sluggish at times.

Yeah, he looks slow, especially in one on one situations. Should learn from VVD how to stop tricky players.

Guys it's only his second game. What do you expect from a 20 year old defender ? Give him some time to adapt. He isn't superman.
If you see him playing for Ajax or the national team. He's a beast on and off the ball. His time will come, no need to worry.

And i though he did oke today. Much better than against Napoli.

Didnt any of you guys ever change a job or school or anything where you have to start over in a New environment. Imagine that with a language you dont speak and being a 20 year old.

He is 20 years old, 85 mil euro player, who can't stop Frank Ribery (37) and is frequently out of position. I watched him for the national team and Ajax and he was not that impressive. Made mistakes every game I watched him.
In comparison I have saw one or two mistakes by Van Dijk in more than twenty games I have seen him. That is what I want from De Ligt.
