Wesley Sneijder

[Nyall]

Sneijder is a one dimentional player. Take away his freekicks and passes and he´s just another average player. This season, his assets(freekicks and passes) have not been good and he cant effect the game any more becuase he isnt flexible. Inter needs to get more players who can run at defenses like Eto and who also have a fighting spirit!

Ummm, you do realize that you called one dimensional but then mentioned 2 dimensions to his game right?

 

[Alex de Large]

iam surprised that sneijder didnt make the difference in the 2 schalke games and milan game, it must be the first time since he joined inter that he dont makes the difference, well it was about time i guess because what he did last year was extraordinary.

Everytime I see him doing something, like a pass or a dribble that doesn't work, followed by his "I am mad at the whole world BUT ME" impersonations I seriously want to kill someone. This is annoying like hell. If you fucked up, be mad at yourself, not do couple jumping jacks, while at the same time the opposition is doing dangerous counter attack.

What normaly players do? Usually when a player messes up, he tries to make up for it, and track back either ending up winning the ball back, or fouling. Fuck... even Quaresma did it! But here, Wes wastes 10 seconds for his "I am mad at the whole world BUT ME" act.

I don't think even Il Nose did that(aside his many other things that were annoying as well).

Also, couple things I wanted to say.

Wes is the most technical midfielders we have... but this "we have" phrase is the key here. He would do badly at teams who play technical football like Barca for instance. He ain't a playmaker either. He is the perfect guy for the way we played last year, when we played defensive, and whenever we won the ball, Wes had some space in front of him, and also he had 2/3 guys running forward with plenty of space for his forward direct passes. That's what he is best for.

But once you play possesion football, where there is little space, he becomes very inefective. I think everybody noticed it by now. His first touch also leaves something to be desired(if we talk about playmaker).

I think he would do best in the EPL, with a team who plays very direct football, with lots of direct passes, or with us, if we go back to our previous style, meaning playing defensive+counters when we face somebody who is very good.

I bet Wes would do wonders last night, if he played for Schalke, with all the space there was that we left for Schalke.

Also, same thing with Dutch NT. From what I saw, they don't play "pretty", not that they played ultra defensive. But I think they tried to play direct, and focus on defense, unlike the typical dutch football. That's why Wes also did so well there.

But as long as we play the way Leo wants Wes will not shine again, cause he simply doesn't feel good when the other team closes the shop(meaning, when we want to be the dominant side, playing ball possesion). Ganso would be 10x better for that role.

Totally agreed

 

[Sid]

Agree 100% Luk...I still believe ganso + wes will compliment each other very well in the midfield and would take the pressure off wes..

agreeeee

 

[interista1982]

give a coutinho a chance he was good vs schalke.

 

[Wallace]

Sneijder seems to be able to create more on occasions when he dropped slightly deeper than his usual position, sending longer range passes out wide to open spaces.

Unfortunately, it's very hard for him to split the defense when he's right outside the box with 2-3 defensive midfielders and another layer of central defenders right in front of him. That is why I think he doesn't have many assists generally in his account as he found it difficult to open up spaces against smaller teams, but he still tended to be very influential in big games, at least in last season, when we played our counter attack football.

I really wonder if he'd play better overall if he drops deeper as one of the cm's in 4-3-1-2, at least against opponents who tend to sit deeper with their midfielders and defenders.

So, are you saying that we should replace Wesley with Ganso?

If you get that impression Opeum, you didn't read my post very carefully.

[rockball]

The problem Wes had was that no one was available for him to give the ball to. It was only Eto'o dropping deep to collect the ball, Milito was always surrounded by 3 players. What Wes needed was the other midfielders to run into spaces and make themselves available.

 

[Devious]

Dont blame Sneijdy, blame the coach.

 

[tbmeg]

Ummm, you do realize that you called one dimensional but then mentioned 2 dimensions to his game right?

Freekicks and passes are in the same dimension( i.e the same range). These are the only assets he posses which are extremely limited in my humble opinion. Compare him to a player like Ronaldinho in his prime who was also a play maker and see the differnece!

 

[mboka1972]

I totally agree with Loka, Wesley should occupy one of the CM position where he can start the counter with his long passes, he is not a typical playmaker and you can see that, he becomes frustrated when there is no space to operate.a player like Ganso, Silva, Modric could occupy Wesley's position. Those are players who can unlock tight defenses with little flicks here and there. Wesley lacks that ingenuity or creativity to do that, and ends up taking ill advised shots. Interesting stats he has taken more shots than Eto'o and he is supposed to be a playmaker.

Take away Xavis passing and creativity, and he is even more limited than Wes, don't you agree?

 

[Bruce007]

Wesley the great

I would say that until now sneijder is the best playmaker that inter ever had, you can't judge him by just 1-2 matches.. every player have a downturn on performance..especially if the whole morale team are low..

 

[drake]

Wesley is a genius. I dont care what anybody says!This season has been rough for him and the whole team.It was just not our year and blaming a player of Wesley's stature is just wrong.The whole fomular for this team was off this year.Benitez,injuries, and tiredness to key players including WESLEY.Wesley,Eto'o,Maicon and Lucio are our only world class players and all we have to do is sign some few class players this summer and retool and we will see the best of players like Wesley again.

 

[Adriano]

he's still only 26, im sure we can get some valuable years out of him goin forward..dont give him up yet
