21 - Frenkie de Jong

[FinBarcelonafan]

It will be very hard for him and Gavi to displace Pedri and Casado, who are on fire.

Gavi? I doubt it. He is a killer.

Gavi? I doubt it. He is a killer.

Yeah, but not a CAM. We have Olmo and Fermin for that.

As far as I'm concerned Pedri and Casado are cemented in the other 2 midfield positions as of now.

 

[TheStig]

As I see it the starters for now should be Casado (FDJ)-Pedri (Gavi)-Olmo (Fermin). Olmo and Fermin should get some minutes on the wings also.

I think this guy could really thrive under Flick and a more direct game. We'll see when he gets back into full rhythm.

 

[draconifire]

He did well. But I still think he is not 100% yet. He will take time.

Is the best sub post 60min, to keep position and see the match through.

 

[TheStig]

Wonder if losing his starting spot will change his unwillingless to listen to offers. Can't see him benching Casado or Pedri anytime soon.

If anything it should light a fire under his ass.

Same goes for Araujo who has been best CB at the club for many years, now he actually needs to make an effort to show he's better than those who started season brilliantly.

This competition will be great because all those involved are motivated players. Don't think anyone will complain if he's benched but rather work harder to start next game instead.

 

[TheStig]

Yes, hope that we finally have a culture in the club where everybody fights for their minutes and the minutes aren't guaranteed to anyone (except Lewa if we are honest). We didn't have that in decades.

Jokes aside, I think Frenkie is back. His cameo looked good for me, although he wasn't really tested so much - Bayern at that point was fucked already, just trying to minimize the defeat. Heavy competition in that midfield, 4 players of immense quality - Pedri, Gavi, Casado and Frenkie. All reliable in big UCL games. Hope Flick uses this luxury to rotate them frequently because none of them are strangers to injury.

Don't forget this fraud is earning 40mil per season, does not want to renew contract and he is just thinking of milking the club mac, while he has been outperfomed massivly by la masia players who play for penauts.

Now, tables have turned.

We don't need him like before season or two.

If he signs renewal with salery reduction that is also good, but if he dkes not want to, just bench him and play him last 10minutes.

Is it really a coincidence that everyone from that Ajax team flopped or disappointed?

 

[ZenI]

He makes 20ish, not 40 lol.

 

[Joan]

The amount just rises every time someone brings it up

Even Hag is a fucking bum...
