Micky van de Ven can do everything at Tottenham – so why not play him left-back?
New York TimesFirst of all, let’s address the fact that a lot of you reading this don’t actually want Tottenham Hotspur to beat Manchester City on Tuesday. Skipp cannot get back to deny Bruun Larsen the opening goal Skipp, though, isn’t the left-back story from this game — that was Micky van de Ven. Van de Ven’s pace means Spurs can play the high line that Postecoglou feels is essential to the team imposing themselves on the opposition. Dragusin isn’t slow, though, and Van de Ven could potentially play a left-back role more akin to what Kyle Walker does on the other side for Tuesday’s opponents. And Radu coming on, I thought was very good when he came on as well, so it helped us get over the line and Micky’s goal was outstanding.” Van de Ven fires in Spurs’ winner Based on that, Postecoglou might decide that Van de Ven is a better option to finish rather than start Tuesday’s game at left-back.
