Heerenveen to attack at will

Heerenveen’s visit of Twente is not only a great look at contrasting styles on the pitch but equally a further question of how Steve McClaren will respond. At this stage of the year the clubs are only a point apart but despite Twente’s defensive stance has been anything but consistent. After starting off great and having us all talk of the “McClaren-effect”, they were stomp, stomp, stomped over by Ajax 2-0, debased 3-0 the following week 3-0 and before drawing level to Feyenoord. If you could put a pin on their on-pitch personalty so-far, they seem to play to their opposition and when encountering an attacking side seem to forget their strong-suit. Whether that simple theory stays true today is a story to be told but Trond Sollied must be chomping at the bit to get started.

It is quite obvious the club has adapted well to Trond Sollied’s blood-thirsty attacking style with
Croatian international Danijel Pranjić and the young-gun trio of Paweł Wojciechowski, Roy Beerens and Paulo Henrique flourishing. Heerenveen will attack at will today against Twente with knowledge their intended counter-attack is toothless. While there was early concern of injuries, Paulo Henrique and Tarik Elyounoussi look to be ready for the match but it will come down to a last minute decision if they are to play. Twente will have the calm, cool Slobodan Rajković back as his appeal was successful.

Enjoy the match and if you’re not already a fan of Heerenveen, once glimpse of their attacking style will surely make you one.
