Bergwijn gave us a 30-minute cameo against Aston Villa, which was full of huff and puff, but lacked on technical substance. I could be losing my mind after too many months of house arrest, but Steven looks to me like he’s morphing into a Mighty Mouse shape physically like he’s been working out excessively, and I’m wondering if this is actually helping his movement?
Total successful actions weren’t great, too many of those pesky crosses as Steven only hit 54%.
Steven managed to get this shot-assist away, but in truth, it was a horrible under-hit affair, and it was remarkable that Pierre managed to salvage anything from it all.
Would I rather watch Bergwijn find some form, rather than watch Dele Alli and Gareth Bale flit about to questionable purpose? Damn, right I would. This is a player that needs to develop and so let’s give that a go.
