21 - Frenkie de Jong

[FCMessi]

1 lazy defensive play where he was square with the dribbler, and FDJ moved out the way so his team mates can do his defending and running for him.

the audacity.

 

[te amo barca]

His defensive workrate has always been a joke

He was pressing like fuck the whole game .

What you think is lazy for him other players do constantly and no on bats an eye lid.

Was lax on that 1st half offside though.

His defensive workrate has always been a joke

Nonsene he was running more than anyone to press and cut out a lot of their breaks.

No one won ball back more either.

There were ways Pedri got beat today and Casado when on even for few mins that folk would go nuts if FDJ.

Did well today. Didn’t watch the first half but helped Pedri take the reins of the match.

His carries valuable today. As a player there’s good and bad. More good than bad.

His defensive workrate has always been a joke

A "defensive" midfielder who can't defend and doesn't even try to defend Simply not good enough! Next time don't give Gavi any more minutes on AM if Olmo doesn't play, play Frenkie there - can't be worse than Gavi, Frenkie actually does alright in a more advanced position...

He did defend..

Cut out ball multiple times and constantly pressing in his area.

Nope.. he defended well other than that offside and worked hard all game.

Is Frenkie in the room with you now?

Is Frenkie in the room with you now?

Good one.

One of best players and most important tactically to take control in 2nd half.

For 20 mins or so was poor with whole team in 1st half when only Pedri looked calm.

 

[Messi983]

Top 3 imo behind Pedri and Inigo.

Top 3 imo behind Pedri and Inigo.

Easily.

But folk go hunting for one time he was 'lazy'.

Can pick those moments for any player if seek them. Worked very hard to defend.

 

[jaype]

Better 2nd half.

Pedri
Balde/iñigo
De jong

Pedri, Tek, Inigo, Olmo and him all had a good game.
