Ian Maatsen

I thought he was excellent and we weren't so good when he went off.

[Keeno]

He's on the Tielemans Emery adaptation arc - gonna be a monster for us next season.

I know people are going off the idea of Asensio as his output has slowed but I reckon the same with him, and we'll sign him in the summer.

Maatsen is playing in midfield for the Netherlands U21 in the UEFA U21 Championship

Ian Maatsen for the Netherlands against Denmark:

82 minutes played
82% passing accuracy (45/55)
3 chances created (most)
74 touches
7 passes into the final third
2 accurate long balls
100% tackles won
8 recoveries

[SaddVillan]

Numbers can be deceptive. Thought he had a very up and down game.

Lost possession which resulted in Denmark's winning goal.

Later he made an excellent run to the byline and cut the ball back  to the edge of the 6 yd box, but the chance went begging as nome of the Dutch forwards managed to get on the end of it.

Think his qtr final is on channel 4 at 4.45pm

Nice one Gareth, I’ll watch a bit during the tea interval.

[Percy McCarthy]

Dutch down to ten men after twenty minutes.

Portugal are a much better team and Mateus Fernandes has been very good for them, from what I saw he was decent for southampton as well, might be worth a look.

We've been linked with him, along with Leeds and Palace. £30m price tag apparently.

Maatsen moved into midfield for the second half.

Beautiful through ball sets up Poku to put 10 man Netherlands 1-0 up against Portugal

[SaddVillan]

Does that long ball count as an assist for the Dutch U21s' equaliser v England U21s

Quansah buggered up his attempt to cut it out?

Imagine the carnage if we signed him. Name related, I mean.

Especially given his name is spelt Cresswell (it was the other CB who fucked up).
