Jamieson notes that manager Matthias Jaissle has cautiously managed Steur's playing time since his arrival from Ajax. Because Jaissle reportedly views Steur and Nico Gonzalez as having similar playing styles, Jamieson suggests switching to a three-man midfield could be required to accommodate both players.
