I am absolutely confident that if you give VDB a 2 month run at that position he will greatly improve his defensive contribution.
All attributes are there. Work rate, plays with energy, doesnt shy away from tackling or contact, disciplined.
This is a much different situation than Pogba. Pogba's mentality is I dont do the defensive side as well and thats okay whereas VDB will be more like Hererra.
Now obviously the way our midfield defended against Istanbul wasnt nearly good enough, especially in that period before Matic came on.
But VDB will get much better defending. Just give him a run of games and watch.
