Imagine there are still people here comparing him to likes of De Paul and Soler and Rabiot. What a joke.

Guy is exceptional and above all, never runs out of gas. His second half is better than his first half.

You know what's sad around here. We got Xavi as manager but the term press resistant midfielder has gone out of fashion.

That's what Frenkie is. Our press resistant midfielder. He makes everything work and is the key component of our system.

He might be the best midfielder in world football at actually evading a challenge.

But would Xavi still use him as a starter if Pedri and Dembele were healthy, and Raphinha wasn't underperforming this season as a winger? Not entirely sure.

I was thinking how he looked a bit like Xavi today. Imagine if he had someone next to him who wasn't a liability.

If he didnt he is a moron.

Frenkie is best mid in team and only Pedri comes close. While they compliment one another in way no others do.

He is perfect for this quartet of midfielders on the park. Because it plays to his strengths and he can move from DMC to defence, to attack and basically be the glue of the setup.

I love it.

Still got doubts of any of putting any of our combinations into a midfield 3 though. Eventually we will need to tweak to have more firepower imo and have a standardized offensive left attacker.

Most passes made on the park.
94% Pass Accuracy.
Most chances created on the park.
No one on park with more tackles/interceptions combined.
Most succesful dribbles on the park.

Not bad for someone who just runs and runs and cant do much else!

One of best midfielders in the world easily.
