21 - Frenkie de Jong

[te amo barca]

Haha no.. he was with Pedri the one who took the ball under pressure time and again.

No he passes it backwards more often than not and takes a long time to switch if he manages. He's fine when he receives it facing the opponent's goal but back to goal he used to be much better

You have no clue.. he was playing the ball early and forwards constantly and switching play when on.

Best player on park after Pedri.

He is playing in more defensive role he isnt going to try and spin his man with back to goal as much as team exposed if does and lose it.

Was top class today and got ball to Pedri early constantly.

lamine certainly was the best after pedri. Frankie was good when things went our way, when the press was on he could only pass the hot potato to someone else. cassado would be better in that situation.

There is no world Casado is better when pressed.

They tried to press FDJ and Pedri and could barely get near them.

Lamine was good. Lot of poor moments and lot of good ones.

Frenkie can't defend if his life depended on it. In these kind of games we need Casado

No chance.

FDJ was head and shoulder above anything Casado would have done today.

Casado like the wee enforcer Gavi limits team by how little does on ball.

Spin it anyway you want he still can't defend for shit. Not much on the bal either. Failed to make obvious forward passes couple of times.

He can and defended well enough and was after Pedri easily the second best player on the ball.

Keep focusing on FDJ when your wee enforcer is shite again and last time Casado played this lot he defended so well he set up their equaliser.

 

[jamrock]

So good game, bad game or average?

The comments have be confused.

I missed the 2nd half.

First half he was typical de jong.

 

[JamDav1982]

First half he was very good as was all game.

Best after Pedri. Argument for Lamine also but FDJ was very good.

Should ask how Gavi played...

Haha aye.. and none of them on him.

There is nothing likes of Pedri and FDJ can do for those first two goals etc. Or fourth.

Casado? Sets them up for Atleti in defeats.

Your boy can't defend, accept it.
Gavi had been bad those 20 minutes. I don't care. You though seem obsessed.

Nah he defended well enough tonight and pressured well.

Much better than Casado was v same team in defeat.

Gavi been atrocious for much more than just 20 mins tonight and had more bad moments of defending than FDJ in that time also.
