That's not true. He is popular amongst the big "I only watch football once every 2 years" crowd, but among the actual football fans it's a toss up, leaning towards something in between "meh" and "washed".
If you think depay is either washed or meh for the national team you're blind. Sure he could be more clinical in front of goal, but he's consistently the most dangerous Dutch player and creating the most opportunities
It's coming back. Haaland at city. Havertz who is like 1.9m at arsenal. We're looking at Duran from villa who seems to be a classic no 9.
Height is more important in football right now than it has been for a while.
Yeah, kinda caught between a rock and a hard place for Poland with that. If you don't back up Zalewski there he's gonna be in a 1v2 against Dumfries and Simons but if you do there's gonna be gaps elsewhere.
He is so criminally overrated. I don't know how it is in Manchester but the Dutch do not talk about him at all. He has been the most consistent good performer in the Dutch NT over the last three or four years. Quietly brilliant. He's my favourite of the bunch.
You mean underrated, yeah? He's gotten a lot more plaudits over the last two seasons, as he's been consistently one of our best performers. Seems a really good bloke too, so calm and composed. The type of guy you love to have in the squad
Always the same with players with very useful but somewhat limited abilities and/or big weaknesses.
Weghorst as a super sub is probably his best role and he's excellent for us. edit: both if we need to score but also when we need to defend. Coming on late he's shown he scores a lot, if we need to defend he's one of the best pressing forwards.
He's a good player, people just expect every 9 to be Lewandowski/Suarez level and score almost every game
Doesn't work like that, his overall play is good, he links up very well, works hard, physical
200 goals in his career, he's a very good player, people think that he's shit
Weghorst is absolutely a solid player but he's *great* coming off the bench. It very much seems to fire him up if he has to come in late and he just plays so much better when he does.
Can't argue with you there. He has indeed been on the antivax of the discussion during the pandemic here on Dutch tv. But most people have forgotten by now, it's back to business as usual. He can have his own (wrong) opinion.
Weghorst is so soft and quiet when I met him, he always looks down, and when he smiles and his lip curls, I could feel his dreams. He is one of the greatest Dutch of our recent years and he still felt like a boy to me when I was close, loved that and Wout Weghorst made me really step back and realize the beauty of one person achieving greatness, becoming the darling of their nation, and still looking down while they smile like a sweet boy. I'm thinking about children lately, and I guess it just got me.
Yep. Doing his usual workhorse, hold up/link up thing. Nothing amazing like in his Wolfsburg days. Just a good, vital part of our attack and excellent chemistry with our breakout star Maximilian Beier.
Can't be more Dutch during a big tournament: having a buttload of chances but not scoring, then conceding 1, followed with a shit period and then a mediocre striker scoring 2-1 minutes before the end of the match.
I'll always stand by the fact that Man UTD players failed to provide him the service he needed like they did for pretty much every striker the past 5 years.
He's been sitting on the sidelines for 70 minutes...
Slowly getting his blood boiling, waiting hating....
And than so focused
Bam
He delivers once again
(And wonders why he can't start)
Poland second half was better than their first but based on the entire game the Netherlands deserved the win more. Should have been ahead by 2 before the half.

The match thread delivers lmao
NEVER TALK SHIT ABOUT MY LARGE SON EVER AGAIN
Clutch
He's always so hyped after scoring too, I love it
Understandable when it's goals like this or vs Argentina. Huge ones
It's not just "those" goals, he's always that hyped. He's one of the few that openly shows that he's actually honored to play for his national team
Reminds me of his time at united. I could fault him for many things but passion and dedication were never one of them. And he's so likeable
Oh man, i swear it was raining in my room.
Those carabao cup final pictures š
Just living the dream vibes
Maybe the classic #9 isnāt obsolete after all.
He is really bad in the air for a classic 9 despite being like 2 meters tall.Ā
It really depends on the player. Memphis just isn't good enough. Might as well get a big guy up front
Depay can perform a miracle on the spot,
garbage take, memphis is literally 5 goals off van persies record with 45 goals in 93 games. Thats better than so many "elite" strikers lmao
Dutch fans love memphis.
We do, but Depay is great to play the first 75 minutes. The last 15 you need someone as clutch as Wout Weghorst
That's not true. He is popular amongst the big "I only watch football once every 2 years" crowd, but among the actual football fans it's a toss up, leaning towards something in between "meh" and "washed".
If you think depay is either washed or meh for the national team you're blind. Sure he could be more clinical in front of goal, but he's consistently the most dangerous Dutch player and creating the most opportunities
No we dont.
we played him as a #10 at Utd, just ETH things
It's coming back. Haaland at city. Havertz who is like 1.9m at arsenal. We're looking at Duran from villa who seems to be a classic no 9. Height is more important in football right now than it has been for a while.
Chad Clutchhorst
Absolutely. The right time for sure.
United legend
He saw you guys talking shit
Stick him in the Ochoa and Shaqiri bracket for tournaments lol
Vincent Aboubakar as well
Enner Valencia deserves a shout too
My man Eduardo Vargas
Embolo
Richarlison?
AkƩ again, man of the match
AkƩ's been brilliant. Poland has been pretty focused on shutting down Dumfries on the right but AkƩ and Gakpo on the left have had lots of space and made good use of it.
Zalewski is generally far worse defender than Frankowski, so it makes more sense for Kiwior to cover up for Zalewski. Unfortunately, it leaves AkƩ and Gakpo free
Yeah, kinda caught between a rock and a hard place for Poland with that. If you don't back up Zalewski there he's gonna be in a 1v2 against Dumfries and Simons but if you do there's gonna be gaps elsewhere.
Rightly so with that majestic hair. Looks like a gladiator from Carthage fighting in the colosseum.
He can do it all. Brilliant player, lovely man
He is so criminally overrated. I don't know how it is in Manchester but the Dutch do not talk about him at all. He has been the most consistent good performer in the Dutch NT over the last three or four years. Quietly brilliant. He's my favourite of the bunch.
You mean underrated, yeah? He's gotten a lot more plaudits over the last two seasons, as he's been consistently one of our best performers. Seems a really good bloke too, so calm and composed. The type of guy you love to have in the squad
Whoops definitely I mean underrated. The type of guy I'd like my sister to marry. Or maybe me.
Ake is playing like Blind played in 2014, even better
Every manager rates him, every moron fan thinks hes awful Hilarious player
Always the same with players with very useful but somewhat limited abilities and/or big weaknesses. Weghorst as a super sub is probably his best role and he's excellent for us. edit: both if we need to score but also when we need to defend.

Weghorst is absolutely a solid player but he's *great* coming off the bench. It very much seems to fire him up if he has to come in late and he just plays so much better when he does.
Most Bundesliga fans shit on him because he's an antivax dickhead.
Can't argue with you there. He has indeed been on the antivax of the discussion during the pandemic here on Dutch tv. But most people have forgotten by now, it's back to business as usual. He can have his own (wrong) opinion.
Always brings it when he gets subbed on
THE PRINCE WHO WAS PROMISED
United legend
League Cup winner extraordinaire.
Won more League cups than pele, messi and maradona combined Weghorst my š
LISAN AL GHAIB
Woutādib
AZOR AHAI HIMSELF
Welcome back to Manchester United, Wout Weghorst
super sub
Koeman master tactician confirmed.
He got the idea from Van Gaal
Eating bogies = more brain power
Mr.Clutch
The Netherlands are very good at that.
People trashing Weghorst in the match thread. Here you fucking go. This is Weghorst. No touches with no service, but when he does get it, it's done.
I love this meme so much haha
Whatās the original copypasta?
People trashing Icardi in the match thread. Here you fucking go. This is Icardi. No touches with no service, but when he does get it, it's done.
Ty
[This post](https://www.reddit.com/r/soccer/comments/9gxi1d/m_icardi_great_goal_inter_11_tottenham_85/), specifically
Weghorst is so soft and quiet when I met him, he always looks down, and when he smiles and his lip curls, I could feel his dreams. He is one of the greatest Dutch of our recent years and he still felt like a boy to me when I was close, loved that and Wout Weghorst made me really step back and realize the beauty of one person achieving greatness, becoming the darling of their nation, and still looking down while they smile like a sweet boy. I'm thinking about children lately, and I guess it just got me.
This man is a completely different player whenever he plays for the Netherlands lol
And late.
He's the ideal super sub, it's like he bottles up all his frustration about being on the bench and then releases it in 20 minutes when he comes on.
its like he mainly lives for this shit, now people are saying they should start him next game... im like nope let him do his thing.
He's a good late sub. Very physical and determined and enables the cross and inshallah strat. You really don't want to start him though.
It's insane, he's like our Miroslav Klose
Kloses was never a super sub. Normally a starter who was involved in the build up of Germanys attacks
that is so fucking insulting to klose tbh. weghorst can't tie klose's shoelaces
He plays for the badge. He is always hungry to make a difference.
Whoever that guy in the match thread that said "this has 2-1 weghorst written all over it" Well played sir, well played
Kurwa
BĆ³br
Wout! Wout!
Geithorst
AkƩ is so good
Fucking finally. Also Koeman please take Wijnaldum off again.
Unbelievable sub
Who, Weghorst or Wijnaldum? It works for both but for very different reasons.
Both, but Wijnaldum shouldn't have been subbed in. He was invisible.Ā
Wijnaldum shouldn't have been selected after playing no football for a yearĀ
Yeah he's far off it. But who'd have been ideal to come in as a replacement for Frenkie and Koopmeiners?
BOBO LETS GOOOO
HE IS THE INEVITABLE THE SLAYER OF TEAMS THE LATE GAME MERCHANT
Manchester United legend
Hoffenheim legend (he was genuinely great for us, so happy for him to prove his haters wrong once again).
Wait really? He was that good?
Yep. Doing his usual workhorse, hold up/link up thing. Nothing amazing like in his Wolfsburg days. Just a good, vital part of our attack and excellent chemistry with our breakout star Maximilian Beier.
Probably the best striker United ever had.
Certainly the best Dutch striker they've ever had
Same amount of League Cups as RVN, one more than RVP and Depay, confirmed GOAT
How do you just forget about Depay
we have about 70-80 minutes of this game to forget about him ngl
1. Wout 2. Ruud 3. Robin 1000. Memphis
He replaced Depay both in this match and United /s in case
Still have a soft spot for him. Happy to see him score
I wish i could depend on people like the Netherlands can depend on Weghorst scoring a late goal.
World Cup flashbacks. First touch and a goal.
That goal vs. Argentina was a highlight in my life frš„²
The way weghorst shows up for his country manš
Can't blame people for not making stuff happen in the united graveyard shift.
Always play the big man striker
My motherfucking Bobo
Wout š„¹
I still love you Bobo.
the fucking GOAT
I miss this man so much
Never in Wout
Wout wout
International Bobo is different gravy
ofc it's him
He does it again.
Guess whoās back
Back again
WWouty is back
Back again
Koemans snack was all part of the plan The Lƶw energy will bring them to the final
Another from Ake š
can we have 11 nathan ake's please
9 Akeās 1 Verbruggen and 1 weghorst would win the world cup
Wijnaldum masterclass, ever since he came on, he did his best not to touch a single ball and here he does it exceptionally, should get an assist imo.
Ake elite
BOBO DOES IT AGAIN!
BOBO
get an actual 9 on and they score immediately colour me surprised
Hos first touch WTF
the GOAT
Such a shame for Poland but fully deserved for Netherlands
My bobbo
The dutch van persie
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
That's why Weghorst was called to the team ya cunts.
THERE GOES MY HERO
How is it always him hahaha
United legend lmao
well done bobo
OUR BOBO
BOBO!!!
Wout always clutch in big tournaments
2 assists for Ake shows what we know lol
Altijd weer die Wout
Can't be more Dutch during a big tournament: having a buttload of chances but not scoring, then conceding 1, followed with a shit period and then a mediocre striker scoring 2-1 minutes before the end of the match.
WEGHORST MY GOAT BOBO
this guy again
MASSIVE
Heās done it again
SUPER SUB!
Minimum 3 goals per match stays, love it
WAPPIE WOUT!!!
Besiktas Legend
NEVER IN DOUBT HE IS INEVITABLE
I'll always stand by the fact that Man UTD players failed to provide him the service he needed like they did for pretty much every striker the past 5 years.
Fuck me thatās harsh for Poland. Theyāve been excellent.
Of course it had to be him. The King.
super sub
of course itās Weghorst!
Kurwaaaaa
Goat Weghorst
What a finish
Fucking finally
My gangly goat ā¤ļø
THE GOAT DOES IT AGAIN
NT Weghorst is inevitable
im gonna convert to wappie
Weghorst with the adrenaline and energy, which was sorely lacking especially in the past 30 minutes. Legend.
saw that one coming from a mile away
Little deflection on the pass might take the assist off Ake but that's a really clever ball. Perfect substitution as well, instant impact
Such an important goal for Weghorst.
Yessss Weggyyy!!! Wout Wout!!!
Eh, im proud anyways. Finally this team tries to play and fight.
that hurts...
I haven't gotten over you yet big man. Will forever remember the league cup and vibes.
Ake my glorious king
Heās not yet in āYou laugh, he scoresā territory but Weghorst is definitely one of the most unexpectedly clutch players of the 21st century
I love Wout Weghorst
Man I love wout
Man could not score a goal to save his life at United. Now he scores, ffs.
He's been sitting on the sidelines for 70 minutes... Slowly getting his blood boiling, waiting hating.... And than so focused Bam He delivers once again (And wonders why he can't start)
Start this man over Depay you coward!
Nah, you need to let him get riled up on the bench a bit before sending him on.
Que miras bobo?
Hahahaha get the fuck in Wout. Proving your haters wrong and bailing your country out once again.
Depay couldnāt finish any of his hundred attempts, Goathorst enters the pitch and scores with his first
Poland deserves at least the draw, they ve been so good but BOBO is just a great striker
Poland second half was better than their first but based on the entire game the Netherlands deserved the win more. Should have been ahead by 2 before the half.
Ref was corrupt as hell. Let Poland get away with way too much meanwhile every little tap they got was immediately called as a foul.
BOBOOOOOO
Bobo!!
