Again, I am talking defence. He has been. Can hardly remember someone worse than him recently. Got burned badly a bunch of times in 1v1s. Shit positional play as the deepest mid. Dunked on in the air… list goes on.
He hasnt been.
Against Betis for example he was one of the few that could win the ball back even if beaten on the dribble for a goal that should have been eaily dealt with etc.
Hasnt been a 'bum' when is about only one that looks like can run about and win ball back at times even if like all of them has been chasing ball about in defence with no team shape.
Again... likes of Gavi is one of most dribbled past mids in the league but gets held up immense when makes 4/5 tackles only difference being then the defence were less likely to give up a goal once beaten while now its just calamity.
Trust me FDJ will be better in air in box than Gavi.. who can jump decent for his size at times but good luck having him trying to track like of Sancet running into the box to attack that ball in.
our recent run is more damning. I don’t hate Frenkie or anything, but he’s been a bum recently. Pure and simple.
