lexicon Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 Been impressed with him since we signed him - great to see he's playing really well lately and I think it's a lot to do with Clark and Baker maturing and improving too; he doesn't have to worry about them so much this season.

Zatman Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 id agree with that article myself, I think at moment he is probably the most underrated player in the squad. the more I see that Wigan goal the more impressed I am by it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mantis Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 (edited) id agree with that article myself, I think at moment he is probably the most underrated player in the squad. the more I see that Wigan goal the more impressed I am by it That Wigan goal was twice as sweet precisely because a CB scored it. He may have been suspect defensively last season (not entirely his fault though) but he's always been very good with his feet and that's why I've always liked him. The likes of Cuellar, Dunne or Collins would never have been able to score a goal like that. Edited November 19, 2013 by Mantis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaRoy Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Played 90 mins for Netherlands against Colombia, in which most of the game Netherlands had 10 men. He kept a clean sheet. Not bad going considering he was up against Falcao. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isa Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Looks like he'll be a definite starter for Holland in the WC if he continues as he is. Good stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djdabush Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Another excellent game from Vlaar, seemed to be the only defender keeping Long from a hat trick tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avfc96 Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Motm today. He stopped Long getting through on goal a few times and made some great interceptions. Much improved from last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villan_007 Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Imagine giving a player time to settle. Loved him from day 1. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonLax Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 He was great in defense but also started a number of attacks in the second half, with runs forward creating an extra man in midfield for us. Long started marking him in that second half when we were in possession leaving Baker to make the passes up field (which were much less effective).

I still think he'd make a good DM - only problem would be we have no one nearly as good to replace him at CB. Been really impressed with Ron.

I like the idea of having a ball playing centre back myself. It is very effective to be able to create that overload in midfield. We should ultimately get a better midfielder rather than take that player from CB. Would prefer Clark along side him as he is also comfortable on the ball at the back. Baker has not been as impressive as these two recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ciggiesnbeer Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Man of the match for me. The only defender who looked like a professional footballer for much of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
