FC Twente on report: disappointing return for Drommel,
According to Vi.
Background
Robin Pröpper, as captain of FC Twente, has an important role in the team, but his recent performances have led to criticism. With the pressure of the Conference League on his shoulders, he will have to show that he is capable of leading his team to success. The coming weeks are essential for his reputation and FC Twente's ambitions in the competition.
Why this matters
The draw against DAC 1904 means that FC Twente has qualified for the play-off round of the Conference League, which is crucial for their European ambitions. However, the disappointing performances of players such as Robin Pröpper and Joël Drommel raise questions about the team's form and preparation for the next round. This result can also influence the confidence of the players and the strategy of coach John van den Brom.

- FC Twente on Report: disappointing return for Drommel.
FC Twente had a disappointing draw against DAC 1904 on Thursday evening. The good news: the play-off round of the Conference League has been reached. However, that is all there is to it, because the draw caused several points of concern in Enschede. In the player reports, the unsatisfactory scores for captain Robin Pröpper, returning goalkeeper Joël Drommel and talent Lucas Vennegoor of Hesselink were particularly noticeable.
The big win in the first leg gave coach John van den Brom the space to rotate his team considerably. As a result, Drommel and Vennegoor of Hesselink, among others, appeared at the kick-off. For both of them it was not an evening to dwell on: they did not reach the level and, like captain Pröpper, received a 5. FC Twente looked sloppy in phases and had to watch too often in the duels with DAC 1904 as control slipped away.
At halftime, Twente intervened firmly with a triple substitution. That turned out to be a bull's eye: substitute Marko Pjaca brought new impetus with a goal just five minutes after the restart. Despite that impulse, the game continued to go back and forth, meaning that Twente had to rally one more time in the final phase. Once again it was Pjaca who proved his worth. The attacker signed for the 3-3 just before the end, preventing defeat and securing the draw.
On the positive side, Max Bruns' contribution was also notable. The midfielder opened the scoring and, like Pjaca, received a 7 in the report. His running ability and sense of the right moment to move in gave Twente initial control over the match. However, that dominance gradually came under pressure too often, partly due to unnecessary loss of ball and positional sloppiness at the back.
Despite the disappointing result, the Tukkers can advance to the play-off round of the Conference League. The priority for the technical staff now is to tighten up the automatismsto stabilize the base, so that the team looks less vulnerable in the decisive European matches. The returned Drommel will be keen to find rhythm and confidence, while Pröpper will want to set the tone again as leader. Up front, Pjaca's form provides support, and with Bruns as an energetic link, Twente also has a midfielder who can move the game and appear in front of goal at the right time.
Conclusion: the play-off ticket has been secured, but the report shows what FC Twente has to work on in the coming weeks. The unsatisfactory scores for Drommel, Pröpper and Vennegoor of Hesselink put the finger on the sore spot, while Pjaca and Bruns show with their goals that there is sufficient offensive quality to continue in Europe.
What's happening now
FC Twente will now have to focus on improving their game to prepare for the Conference League play-offs. The coach will undoubtedly evaluate the performance of the underperforming players, such as Pröpper and Drommel, and possibly make different choices in the lineup. The coming matches will be crucial to find the form necessary for success in European competition.
