Thought he deserved the start and would be surprised if doesn’t start again next week. Solid and reliable I felt.

Thought he was everywhere to be fair. Looks a fair shout to be backup to Phillips imo. Especially useful if the league stick with 5 subs

He is a class act! We are lucky to have him. Fortunate for us that De Ligt was ahead of him at Ajax
