Ian Maatsen

[Brazilian Villain]

That's his 'excited' voice.

That's his 'excited' voice.

Just had memories of this scene:

[john e]

Another good looking lad, which I’m sure was a major factor in his signing
And probably the reason we were never interested in Cole Palmer

[AV84]

Or perhaps we're preempting the signing of Palmer next summer by overloading on handsome gents this summer.

[Footy-Vill]

A strong player going forward my reservation with Maatsen is discipline and concentration in defending

I think that will improve under Emery . It has too!
He's a great addition to the squad and will offer a great threat to the attacking play down the left.

Looks like he'll be decent from his cameo. Digne massively upped his game when Moreno came in, here's to Maatsen forcing him to do it all over again.

[Demitri_C]

Very impressive performance

I love what we we are buying young established players for the future

[pablo_picasso]

Yeah, me too.

The potential added to what are already some pretty talented footballers is great to see & exciting for the future.

[Demitri_C]

Think we need to start him next game. Thought digne was abit of a let down today

[SoccerHQ]

Just watching the Fulham-Leicester highlights. Leicester backline is very slow so need to be starting Maatsen in this one.

[Meanwood Villa]

Was a very promising cameo. Hope he gets a start sooner rather than later.

[Demitri_C]

Suprised he hasnt started yet. He looks fit to start. Dignes done well but you would imagine maatsen should be no 1 very soon

[PaulWinch again]

I’m not that surprised. Digne was excellent last year and he’s started this year well. Its helpful to give Maatsen the chance to bed in.

[AV84]

Onana's gone straight in because we didn't really have another choice there, but it makes sense to give the other new faces time to bed in. I know Maatsen came from Chelsea but he hasn't played in the prem before, has he? Or not much if he has.

[Brend'Watkins]

I’m not that surprised. Digne was excellent last year and he’s started this year well. Its helpful to give Maatsen the chance to bed in.

Agree. Digne was very good yesterday but Maatsen looks an equally good player. He will get plenty of chances this season when we need to freshen things up.
