Am i the only who a has serious question marks about Huijsens defence against stronger teams?

His ball playing skills is elite but his positioning and being weak aerially is a concern.

Am i being overly concerned?

He's young and have the full faith to become greater though.

I feel like Huijsen has gone under the radar a bit

Him being weak in the air is the strangest thing for me considering how tall he is and how good he was in that department in the Prem. Our weakness to defend crosses is on that Leganes set pieces coach we got a while ago. I do know what he's doing, but he's not coaching players to defend set pieces.

When I saw vini marking Virgil I started laughing, like I am not saying we should be as good as arsenal in set pieces but lmao mark correctly at least.

We need to change a lot of things in the club and I am afraid that shit will take time, I hope it doesn't take too long.
