A Dutch football correspondent was on the Guardian football weekly podcast this week, she said that Klassen is at his best when he has pacy wingers to play through to and dart into the box for the return, let’s be fair, he’s got no chance of that here, at lest not until Coleman and Bolassie return.

Koeman must have had a plan when he brought him in, he’s hanging him out to dry playing him in a completely alien setup.

fair enough, but we can not ajust the team, soo that there is pacy wingers, just for his sake.

I would not say, he is being hung out to dry. He is positioned on the midfield, where his skills are.

Sorry, but i don't agree with the lady, you refere to.
I think he has more talent, than what she make him out to be. Far more
 

Clearly a quality player. Is finding his footing and will be very important.

My only fear is that the boo boys will get worse and his confidence will be knocked, honestly his desire to play for the club will take a hit in that case as well.

Seems mad to pay £24m for the Ajax captain and boo him every game. Hardly going to endear us to him is it
 
Struggling to get up to pace of the prem currently. Should be first name on team sheet for European games where the pace of the game allows him more time on the ball. Is definitely suffering from the lack of pace around him too. To see the best out of this lad there needs to be movement around him, of which there was none again yesterday. Only player stretching Bournemouth yesterday was DCL.
 
He shouldn't be starting at the moment, we should be playing our best 11 and once we are playing better and winning try to integrate him. He's not involved anywhere near enough, even someone like Gylfi who isn't playing great is at least involved in most play.
While we are in the bottom half of the league we can't carry players.Its probably a bit unfair on Klaasen too.

It's the same with Siggurdson. This "play him as a 10" when fundamentally he's bought him to play wide in an attacking 3.

I think he's thought Klassen can play in the Tom Davies/CM position and get goals from deep. He's struggling.

no pace no control no flair no ability cant head a ball always out of position, this guy needs to give his locker to someone.

No common sense no football knowledge no patience needs to stop slating a player just moved country into a new league with new teamates and new manager with new style of play and majority of squad is struggling so stop talking nonsense.

He is gonna be klass give the guy a chance
 
the devil will skate to work before this guy will be labelled class. stick that in the vaults, there are young players who need game time and he is stinking out the gaff, I don't want to throw away another season so some over rated player can feel at home.
 
He can be used for the European and cup matches. That is how i see it. I think he and gylfi, need to give way to Davies and DCL.

Far more interesting games, with the two youngsters, than with Klaassen and Gylfi.
 

He was bought as a Lampard type, not overly skillful but good engine, keeps the ball simple and moving and arrives late into the box to get goals.

The problem is that our lack of creativity and pace means that he cant arrive late into the box as we very rarely get near the oppositions box (as proven by lack of shots on target/goals etc). Also the play is so congested in the middle there is no space to find as Rooney and Sigurdsson (our supposed wide forwards) like to take up the same space around the box too.

He dwells on the ball a bit but also shows some lovely 1 touch lay offs and passes around the corner. He has got the technical ability to make it work, he just needs time to adjust. It doesnt help him or the team if the fans get on his back.

Agreed. There us absolutely no point booing our own team! If you don't like them, go to another ground ffs!!
Supporters should encourage... No wonder we complain that the team seem to have a bottling mentality, they crumble under vocal expectations and lack of confidence just like the England players do.
 
He's a very good player.

But the system isn't right for him and he definitely needs time to settle.

Should never have started yesterday. There was no need - not with Davies in the form he's in.

Koeman's a tit at the moment.
