Matthijs de Ligt (20 Viewers)

[K.O.]

"Dybarbie" is the lame nickname I expect a 14-year-old Milan troll have for Dybala on Twitter

Love him

 

[Boksic]

Immense

Shame the rest of the team let him down

 

[zizinho]

Make him captain

Incredibly overrated, mistake after mistake after mistake but ppl are still praising him, if Rugani was making the same silly mistakes match after match then he would have been tortured around the web for 24/7 but somehow De Ligt is getting praised for it lol.

Same childish mistakes with positioning, he can't control himself, rushes like he's still 18 years old Ajax defender in eredivisie

U are questioning our best defender and one of our most consistent performers, who btw is in his early 20s. D fuk

Oké now take a close look to that last picture. It really isn’t rocket science.

I see 7 of our players in our box, against 4 Torino players.

Obviously De Ligt had to cover Cuadrado. It’s either De Ligt or Zakaria in those situations, but it depends on how many strikers the opponent deploys. Playing against two strikers De Ligt probably stays in the center, against one a CB can step out.

For me, De Ligt is having his best period since his arrival. His last three games were amazing, to bad he had some back luck with the free kick he gave away against Atalanta.

Boorish and non football related post incoming:

Spoiler: Spoiler

Fuck me, if I was Matthijs I’d be smashing that behind like I smashed home that header yesterday.

I kinda have to agree with that.

Last night, for example, I saw some great defending from him.
But I also thought he was completely out of position multiple times. "What the hell are you doing there?" is a thought that popped in my mind at least 5 times. I obviously may be wrong, but by the end of the game I was convinced this may have been due to the instructions he received.

He was a litle "lost" when Bonucci came in in the game.

Defense need consistency, he has played with what, 5 different CBs last month or so. And today we started with him in the middle of 352, then with Bonucci it was more of a 4 man backline/De Ligt on the left.

Uncomfortable in back 3 imo.

Bad positioning on the goal. I expect better from him.

But sitting in your own penalty for an hour and hoping for nothing to go wrong is madness.

He was fine when he was in the middle of it, when Bonucci came in and De Ligt went to the left side he got lost in position several times

Are you surprised? It's his biggest weakness he's always getting caught being out of position

Haven't really noticed that much tbh. But then again i sleep through most of our games

 

[Stephan]

So basically he was fine till we put a natural CB instead of Danilo/ Sandeo next to him. Shouldnt that be a huge concern. It looks to me like if Chiellini isnt there no one is babysitting either Bon or De Ligt.

 

[Juventino[RUS]]

He's always doing the same mistake and never learns from it unfortunately

He didn't have to cover cuadrado in that moment, he should have been covering his zone, he did the same mistake last night when Parejo has scored
