4 - Ronald Araújo

[malvolio]

Wouldn't want to have him as starter next season. Rotation for now.

His (-): a lack of experience and wrong decisions sometimes.
His (+): a fighting spirit and a lot of personality, determination. He is very good at headers also.

Has the potential to be a better player in the future. He has too much to learn.

Ferdinand type player in a few years.

Anton Ferdinand

 

[Blaugrana Bull]

Lenglet like penalty but made up for it. I have been waiting for a goal like that for months.

Anton Ferdinand

gave me a chuckle that.

 

[Andresito]

Tbf he's only played more than 45 min once since returning from injury. Hard to build up confidence and rhythm when playing max 30 minutes every game.

I still think he doesn't fit in this 3-5-2. He's at his best in a back 4.

 

[Catta]

I just don't understand why he isn't starting anymore. He is better than Pique and Umtiti combined.

 

[vuji_31]

Best player in spain in aerial duels, while we are crossing the ball to 16m and he is not even subbed.

Fuckling Koeman, needs to go this would happen sooner or later.

 

[vuji_31]

Best in spain in aerial duels by mile, but his positioning is questionable. Also Pique didn't help him too much with his shitty defending.

 

[hardyboy]

Overrated. He is poor man's Van Dijk.

 

[Bobo32]

Overrated. He is poor man's Van Dijk.

There are similarities no doubt.
There were a lot of doubts around van Dijk for a long while, but even with these doubts, I always thought he looked more impressive on his own than what Araujo did.

 

[behindbrowneyes]

Overrated. He is poor man's Van Dijk.

Where was Van Dijk at his age though?

There are some players who benefit from 3 at the back. Araujo is none of them. He is much better in a 4-3-3.

van dijk at 22:

even here u can see that van dijk's technical ability is on another level compared to araujo

aruajo and van dijk are only similar in physical ability, nothing more
