21 - Frenkie de Jong

[kilian]

He had a solid game, like Pedri and unlike almost everyone else yesterday. Casado was shit as usual.

 

[te amo barca]

He was fine. Would have been an underwhelming game without the assist. Final third is not his area of the pitch.

Final third is not his area of the pitch.

It is actually. Been productive every time he’s allowed to roam there.

His finishing is awful.

This and that wtf lofted shot were really poor.

That’s class control.

Most players would not be able to place it like that with that bounce. They would skyrocket it most likely.

 

[jamrock]

The sum total of his attacking quality, is those floated crosses and passes he does inside the box.

That's his one and only move in the attacking 3rd.

The 2/3 times per season it works it looks class.

Fake news.

Fucking levels ahead in final third than likes of Casado and in one season got forward regularly had 15 goals/assists despite playing half that season in DM/CB positions.

Been far better in final third than likes of Gavi to date also despite playing further back for most of it.

He had most key passes/2nd highest xA and the only 'real' assist for a goal in the game.

Not most comfortable position but if played there across season would get knocking on 20 goals/assists a season fairly easily.

Not even just direct assists either. Makes a lot of passes over top or through that open up game and lead to a goal.
