Bringing in Colwill on loan not only allowed JPVH the chance to get up to speed but also helped us poach Gilmour on a permanent deal as we couldn't have both on loan.
…and The Times marked him as our worst player, 5 out of 10

Reminiscent of Greer & young Dunky
As an aside, Veltman was superb again. He has a wonderful mix of ability, vision, technique, dark arts and professional respect for his opponent all carried with an innocent and cheeky smile. Alongside Gross, my favourite player. Man love

Whenever I see him I think of Tom Cruise. No idea why.Velts is a handsome devil
We had Caicedo at right back and Gross/Gilmour playing the pivot. JPvH was exposed in a team running on fumes (and we now know that Duck was carrying an injury). I'm not judging him on that game.

Plus Leicester?
He struggled last season, but the battle with Haaland did l him the world of good confidence wise.

Your support is not that great
It almost seems unfair to single out players at the moment as so many are putting in such brilliant performances.
But I think JPVH deserves a little limelight. The position he plays is so important to the way we play and it's asking a lot of a young player to step into that role. I though he had some good games last year after a few understandably shakier ones when he first started breaking into the side. Since the Man City game, I think he's been consistently superb.

He's becoming one of the most physical centre backs we have had in a long time. And he can play a bit 
Love this. A slight tweak, perhaps:

That’s ridiculous - yesterday was his best performance for us so far…and The Times marked him as our worst player, 5 out of 10

I was at Leicester away last season and tbh, he looked a bit dodgy at times. The improvement from then to now is absolutely phenomenal.

If it was original, it would be alright.
But it was invented by Palace fans, for Jean-Philippe Mateta (which scans a lot better than JPVH does too), so it's a no from me.

Remember it well. Really struggled, especially in the first half. I can't remember if he was subbed or not, but we only improved defensively after Veltman came on.

Posted this on the wrong thread before
Not sure if this has been discussed but anyone else think not being able to sign Colwill could turn out to be a blessing as JPVH is starting to look like the real deal and possibly even more suited to DeZerbi ball then Levi was?
Would JPVH even still be here if we’d signed Colwill?

Coaching & confidence. That’s why Colwill wanted to stay.
