Everton put in a very poor performance as they lost 5-0 away to Tottenham Hotspur on Monday evening.
Donny van de Beek started the match, and it’s interesting to see what the Dutch media has to say about it all, with their hopes for Donny van de Beek’s success largely resting on what happens with Frank Lampard at Goodison Park.
During the midfielder’s time at Manchester United, there were multiple Dutch reports saying the player’s bad experience at Old Trafford was similar to what Davy Klaassen had gone through at Everton.
Both were stars at Ajax, and then failed to take that status and do something with it in the Premier League, with the 29-year-old now back at the Amsterdam club after a mixed period in Germany.
NOS point out that the player is getting all he wanted at Everton, in terms of a regular starting place, but that things aren’t really working out for him.
AD focus on Van de Beek being taken off early, and they make clear that the damage had been done by that time, with Tottenham already having their sizeable lead.
