Robin van Persie vs John Terry

John Terry of Chelsea

John Terry has a point to prove against RVP

Ad

Robin van Persie has picked up where he left off last season, scoring two fantastic goals against Swansea in a 1-4 win. The Dutchman is quite easily United’s best player at the moment and it will be John Terry’s job to make sure he doesn’t get too involved in the game.

Van Persie isn’t a traditional poacher and often drops slightly deep in order to collect passes and create chances for himself.

Therefore, Terry will have to work hard to ensure that he doesn’t get enough space to get a shot off, because that’s all he seems to need these days. Cahill will be able to help, but given his inability to close down a man plus his tendency to make basic mistakes, it’d be wiser if John Terry did the hard work to ensure that van Persie doesn’t weave his magic.
