Waterreus and Been make Bosz a large accusation after a setback against Fortuna Sittard
1 min readAt De Eretribune, a lot of disbelief was heard after the match regarding PSV's dropped points against Fortuna Sittard. The team of coach Peter Bosz fought their way back after a 0-1 deficit to a 2-1 lead and seemed to be on track to wrap up the first league match with a win. However, in stoppage time it all went wrong when Édouard Michut scored the equalizer with a long-range shot. Ronald Waterreus saw it as a recurring problem at PSV.
"The second half PSV plays quite well and they are in front, but when you look at it... You only need one ball to go in the right way", Waterreus begins after the match. "After it’s 2-1 you’ve got them, but then it’s strange that PSV gives it away like that. You just have to win a home match like that."
The former goalkeeper believes that PSV made the same mistake again as in previous seasons. "It lacks urgency. Two years ago we said the same thing as well. I think Peter Bosz also doesn't have a lot of confidence; you can see that in his substitutions. He substituted in a very defensive manner", said Waterreus, referring to the substitution in which Bosz brought Kiliann Sildillia on ten minutes before full time for Ricardo Pepi.
Mario Been also raised questions about the closing stages of PSV. "In the second half PSV was better, they were drawing from the usual playbook. PSV equalized and then Fortuna could only defend, but nothing could be further from the truth. They started to defend a bit and also brought on a defender... Not really like Peter Bosz", he concludes.

Eens. The article mentions the way PSV circulate under pressure, but i still think they need a more decisive final pass. Too many times it turns into safe sideways stuff when one through-ball would end it 🔥
Wie kijkt mee? 😂 if the game turns chaotic, our youngsters might actually be the key. Just dont let the opponent settle first.
"We need more composure" is fair, but composure comes from pattern play. Right now we are too reliant on individual duels, not enough collective combinations.
On the wing he was doing bits, the acceleration was filthy 🔥⚽. If he keeps that end product up, teams will get forced into mistakes every time.
No way they should play the fullbacks that high unless the wingers track back. Last time we did it, we got punished on the second ball, and it looked like no one wanted to close the cutback 👀
"Inside PSV" always makes me feel like were one decision away from peak. But if Sangare gets sloppy on the turn, thats a direct invitation to lose the ball in dangerous areas 💀
tbh the midfield balance is what worries me. If they let the half-space get too open again, opponents will just keep playing those quick switches and itll get messy fast 😅
Love the intensity, but the quote about "control" is a bit funny if we keep inviting counters. Need the ball to move quicker through the halves.
If PSV are really going with that more aggressive pressing, i hope Pepi gets the starting nod again. His first step and pressing triggers could pin their build-up.
tbh the midfield looked a bit too static at times. i want more rotation, Sangare style energy, not everyone standing in one lane.
If PSV are going for that high press again, i just hope it doesnt leave our back line exposed. Any slip from the fullbacks and you can feel trouble coming.
