Vinnie Samways
It’s the way he plays and the way he has his whole careerIt's the stretch tackle and required contact at the end that heightens the risk.
I don't pay as much attention to the ball going the other way.

He's fantastic. As you say only 22, but plays like a seasoned experienced player.This guy is just superb. What a player. 22 and looks so experienced and calm. Built like a truck but can compete with anyone on speed. I'm just very very impressed with him. Wow. What a player we've got on our books!
Got the impression he's building in confidence. New country, new team. Think he will be a leader and eventually take the armband from son. Hope so.
Romero is imo better at stepping up, one on one defending vs someone running at him. Some of his involvements even just in the last couple of games like that have been fantastic.What's interesting is how he sits next to others
- Royal and Davies showed us how bad Dier & Sanchez really were
- Romero & VDV as a partnership show the step up
- VDV next to Romero actually looks the better defender (and I rate Romero very highly)
Romero is imo better at stepping up, one on one defending vs someone running at him. Some of his involvements even just in the last couple of games like that have been fantastic.
Romero is also better in the air imo and on the ball.
VdV is obviously faster. But other than that I struggle to see what he does better than Romero?
Both need to be better in the airDon't think Romero is better in the air but debateable, out of the three, think Dragusin in his few minutes has shown he's better aerially than both of them.
VDV's tackling is way better than Romero's, cleaner, less "need" to partially take player. I'd also say his one to one is better because he knows he can just run with player and guide them out. He's also seemingly more consistent, Romero has moments.
As I said, I rate Romero, but in this system, and considering the age/experience gap, it says a lot about VDV
Interesting. We see things a bit different on them.Don't think Romero is better in the air but debateable, out of the three, think Dragusin in his few minutes has shown he's better aerially than both of them.

Trying because Romero puts himself in positions where they can take him on with a dribble. VdV less so.i see players continually trying to take on romero up to the dying minutes. on the other hand, i see players already dying inside when they look up and see its vdv again down the wing.
I think Romero is very good at pro-active defending and VDV very good at reactive defending with obviously some overlap with the two skill sets.What's interesting is how he sits next to others

This is pretty much how I see it too. And that overlap is important. Not just a "cat and dog" CB partnership, but one where both can also do the other part quite well.I think Romero is very good at pro-active defending and VDV very good at reactive defending with obviously some overlap with the two skill sets.
What it does undoubtedly make for, is a perfect partnership. A partnership that's almost hit the ground running.
I think Romero has been really good in the air all season. Doubt he'll improve much in that regard. VdV could definitely improve with time, but lad, but not dominant with his height or strength.Both need to be better in the air
It’s a weakness
Romero is ok for his height
VDV is taller and needs to be more dominant
Romero is 6’1 I think and is good as he will get. But his aerial ability is average IMOI think Romero has been really good in the air all season. Doubt he'll improve much in that regard. VdV could definitely improve with time, but lad, but not dominant with his height or strength.
Wrong.I don’t really care how other teams do it, might just be that everyone else is really brick at it.
I’d say anything that stops us keeping clean sheets is a major issue.
It's absolutely ridiculous to use 2 decimal places on something measured in such a subjective way across varying distances. Better to just say they are all 37kmh; the measurement error will be large.Fastest players in the Premier League (km/h)
