Dier started 13 league games and De Ligt was his CB partner in 12 of them. Scholes is a terrible pundit and always gets facts wrong.
De Vrij look a more accomplished CB than Delight. He lacks awareness and does not dominate games. Looks to me like another Lindelof or slightly improved version
Lindelöf and De Ligt are a completely different profile, and have almost the opposite style of defunding. Back foot, passive, delay, vs front foot, engage high up, and steal. Not sure what you’ve been watching to come to the conclusion they are remotely similar.
I’d also say that De Ligt’s reading of the game is excellent. Feels like the lack of awareness comment is a bit knee jerk after the error last night.
De Ligt is more like another Maguire, with maybe a little bit more mobility and better ability to receive under pressure and from difficult angles when building out from the back. Lindelöf is a totally different type of defender, and vastly inferior to them.

Look harder.
I remain unconvinced that he is a massive upgrade on what we have but more than happy to be proven wrong as it means we'll have got a good player for a good fee coming into his prime years. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt because of the shitshow we are and that very few players have improved while with us in recent years (even those that had a brilliant start like Bruno).
Even if he is not better than Martinez or is only slightly better than Maguire, he is miles better than Lindelof and Evans, which means our first 3 CB's are all of decent quality.

I think he was mostly an improvement with the ball, and someone quite good in the air to help replace Varane who was very strong there while Evans, Lindelof and Lisandro were not so good.
Positioning and game reading need some improvement defensively
Edit - Having said that, rewatching the Liverpool match in the first 30 mins he makes several good defensive contributions. Also to mention that Maguire is also strong in the air, but De Ligt will be much better if we push our CBs forward with more speed.

Yeah, that is true about Pogba as well although I do rate him a lot more than the players I listed. Not seen Ugarte play for Uruguay so I wouldn't know haha. Tbh I've not watched international football regularly for years outside of the odd match but I've always had the opinion that they're not a great way to judge a player
Nah De Ligt is a great defender. It‘s true he lost track of Dzeko, that cross was inch perfect though.
In his post-match comments, he said he thought the keeper would come, but takes responsibility for the mistake.

You can't be serious.
So much overreaction after one mistake, no wonder our players are the most abused. Did any liverpool fans highlight VVD's mistakes like ours do for our players.
Yes he made a silly mistake for the second one but overall he was decent. The way some and the Dutch media is making out as if it was a train wreck of a performance.

gosh.He is, based on his previous posts.
Monumental signing.
This is going to be the big one. Holy feck this guy will be huge

Has been truly awful for Holland in these last matches. Getting a bit worried here
Everton fans still pissed off we didn't buy their overpriced CB. What a strange, bitter bunch.
Why are Everton fans making things up?
Obsessive
Yoro is who is better than Branthwaite. Get it right.

I was worried before we signed him. I didn’t think it was a good one and I still don’t
Tweets as childish as that are why I finally left 'X'
Shocking attempt to play out from the back though.
No need to worry. He reserves almost all his mistakes for when he plays for the national team.
I got a load of abuse for asking what this meant when he signed. I've seen two in the last two games.
I can't believe we've already ruined De Ligt after only one match and at most 5 or 6 training sessions. Before long, we'll ruin new players even before they hold the shirt up for the photo op!
You get the sense that some of our own fans cannot wait for our players to make mistakes or to “fail” here - like they’re actually rooting for it to happen, just so that they could be proven right on the internet.
Exactly. It's like they want to fail so that they can see beloved lindelof start games.
Drop him
Start Maguire
Brexit > EU

He's not great on the ball, but we have Martinez for that (supposedly) that's not why we bought him.
Wish it wasn't allowed on here. Why are we posting something a random person on the internet said? If it's your opinion then post your opinion.
If a "reporter" hasn't got another platform than a Twitter account then he's a hack. Just another form of an influencer. Real reporters have a media platform to post on. The whole transfer forum is devoid of journalism and is nothing but football fantasy.
You get lots of abuse for being a know it all
Subbed at half time. Injured or due to performance?
Can't wait for the Maguire redemption arc to come around in about 4 years when he turns into a half decent sub.
I see that you still struggle to accept that de Ligt has joined to take your favorite player his position.
He generally only has these brainfarts for the national team. So don't get an orange away kit.
