Rate: Michael van Gerwen
Is he a twat after this weekend's incident?
Is he still the world #1?
Is he too arrogant, like Price?
Does he have a stroke of mental issues?
Yes, No, Yes and Yes.
Safe to say I dislike him a lot.
4/10 at best needs to settle down and accept he's human, not some godlike bald eagle king.

Re: Rate: Michael van Gerwen
I agree with your assessment. He's becoming more of a prick lately, can't really deal with not being the big man on campus anymore.
The truth, however ugly in itself, is always curious and beautiful to seekers after it.

Yes
Technically yes

No?
Worsley shouldn't have touched him but we'll see what the DRA's "fine" will be for him.

Re: Rate: Michael van Gerwen
1) That’s subjective
2) Currently no, but his A game is way above anyone else’s who currently play.
3) He can come across as arrogant sometimes, but then Bristow certainly did as did Taylor in my opinion.
4) No evidence to suggest this

Re: Rate: Michael van Gerwen
Was before and after.
So say the rankings.
Most of the time no, since he is usualy very good at darts. Times like right now though when he can be beat by anyone he should shut up or look a mug.
No of course not.

Re: Rate: Michael van Gerwen
Reminds me of when he was 18 and the biggest prospect in the game. At one point the rise stopped, was so disappointed in himself that he lost his hair and confidence and eventually that showed in the results for years.
I'd not be surprised if he falls victim of the classic blunder of setting the bar for yourself too high again, i.e. he's going to slide down the rankings for the next two or three years before he grasps himself again.

Re: Rate: Michael van Gerwen
To clarify: with mental issues I'm regarding to his mental game. Seems to lack confidence in his own game as of lately.

Re: Rate: Michael van Gerwen
No more or less than he was already - and i quite like my elite level sportsmen to have a bit of twat about them.
technically yes but wright and price are better currently.
no, hes world number 1 and the 1st/2nd/3rd best player to have ever lived at a game that millions n millions of people have tried to play. he's allowed to be arrogant.

Re: Rate: Michael van Gerwen
Are you seriously suggesting that MVG lost his hair due to him being disappointed in himself? And not due to male pattern baldness.vizIIsto wrote: ↑Mon Nov 16, 2020 11:30 amReminds me of when he was 18 and the biggest prospect in the game.

Re: Rate: Michael van Gerwen
Stress is one of the main causes of early hair loss. I can recall MvG talking about it, but I could be wrong on that.HalloweenJack wrote: ↑Mon Nov 16, 2020 12:30 pmAre you seriously suggesting that MVG lost his hair due to him being disappointed in himself?

I'm pretty sure the high expectations everyone had of the young man is part of why he struggled for a few years when it didn't come.
