21 - Frenkie de Jong

[JamDav1982]

Better than other mids today despite not being great.

Team were much better when he was at DM ahead of Busi for 2nd game in a row.

 

[vuji_31]

This guy should be considered legally blind

Pedri, Gavi and De Jong are worthless in everything concidering assists or goals.

 

[JamDav1982]

Headless chicken performance. He is so bad at DM that dino Busi is still a better pivot than him, a travesty. I just want him sold

Haha Busi was fucking hopeless.

FDJ was much better without being great.

Just as he was in midweek.

Guy runs two meters to make a two meter pass. Sell to United. Now.

FDJ is miles ahead Busquets for the modern game but still is not what we thought. Like a heavily discounted (like 90% off) KDB.
Still should play 100% over Busi. Actually anyone should.

There is an instance where Dembele has miles of space behind the defense, holds his line for offside and asks the ball for about 5 seconds. FDJ just can't make a pass like that and is afraid to do so. Same thing on the other side with Rafinha who got angry about it.

The man is on 700k a week or something. He must be sold ASAP, doesn't warrant even a 300k wage

Dembele was wide open waving both arms for 10 seconds.

poser FDJ either did not see that, or not comfortable/capable making the pass, or had a better ideas.

I agree but what are we left with?
Gavi? He is just not there yet, might never be good enough.
The fossil? He should never play again.
Kessie? Not much better than FDJ, imo worse.

So we are left with 1 decent midfielder in Pedri, who is still 19 and in no way shape or form should be the expected to lead the mf of Barca.
We are stuck with FDJ.

 

[utility73]

Did not add much in offense and was a liability in defense.

May he will have some decent games at the WC then we could sell him for some monies.

 

[JamDav1982]

He wasnt a liability if defence and was better defensively than Busi by a long way.

Which in itself is not some huge compliment either.

 

[te amo barca]

Him or Busi at DM is just choosing between different flavors of shit.

 

[JohnN]

At least the FDJ shit are still smelly and fluid.
Busquets shit are fossils.

LOL

Yeah being slightly „better“ than Busi is no achievement these days.

 

[fergus90]

De Jong gets a lot of plaudits simply because he's not Busquets but he's also limited in his own way.

Out of the current crop of midfielders at the club he should be playing much more though.
