Low standards!!
Wake me up when he does it againt a topside in the UCL
The problem with him is that he has no x factor. He is no Busquets, no Yaya Toure, no Mascherano (even if he played only a couple games as a DM here). He is solid, but he can't be the focal point DM that barca was so used to in the past. Heck I think even Edmilson was more threatening than him in attack.Any window to replace him as sailed, we are stuck with him until bernal becomes good enough to replace him.
Should have done it all those years I told them to.
Which means a DM with little impact in the defensive side of the game and we don't need to say much about his offensive contribution.
He recycle possession for a few more years and give us solid to good performances.
Will be truly stunned if us or the Dutch win a CL/Euros/WC with him as well the starting DM

It does worry me too that we are sorta stuck with him. Problem is there is not many better available DM's than him out there. I wouldn't mind someone like Enzo Fernandez who I think would do wonders in this super risky attack setup of Flick with his defensive abilities.
Frenkie played well vs. Inter
People talking about an upgrade. Can I ask who you guys have in mind? And please don't say Gavi because there is no chance he'll start over de Jong given his form over the last few months. No manager would start Gavi over Frenkie.
Be serious.
The turnaround is quite stunning to have witnessed.I came to appreciate Frenkie more in recent months.
