21 - Frenkie de Jong

[Horatio]

Yeah 97% passing. It was the one he tried to play over top early to Raphinha I think in 2nd half.

ah yes the one that pope caught. I remember

Captain material stuff.

There is something to be said for a player feeling part of something bigger than themselves, its the sort of motivation that often leads to wage increases/bonuses but are not driven by this. Like Marcus, maybe his head wasn't really here for a time. I have long been critical of the player and after Dembouz debacle I have no idea what he will do for certain with his renewal but I see a player that is palpably motivated to thrive here. His quality is undeniable and he is a leader on the pitch with his play & grit that I believe underscores the elite mentality of this group

Whether that translates to signing a better contract to continue here or leave, irrelevant at this point - this season we'll see a stellar Frenkie, if he stays healthy
