Playing next to Van de Ven should help. I’ve not seen loads of him, but his, er, profile suggests the two can be a really good combination, each able to go in or sit off, build the play and dominate aerially.
I’m really interested to see what Postecoglu does with Cristian Romero, who has a lot of talent but, by 25, ought to have binned the hilarious but self-defeating wildness. If he can reduce the murderous scythes and ill-advised romps, he can be one of the best around – but that if is seriously sizeable.
