Frenkie de Jong

[Fati_Future_BallonDor]

His vision and passes are worldclass

 

[JamDav1982]

Monster game.

Head and shoulders best player on park.

 

[jamrock]

Another Rolls Royce performance.

Nah I'm kidding solid 6.5-7?

Basically where he lives at most of the time.

 

[Fati_Future_BallonDor]

Dont allow him to leave Barca!

 

[Horatio]

Any Sunday leaguer can do those pass.

Nothing special.

Passing maestro yea okay, let's not cheapen the word to make your man look good.

Good passes nothing special

Passing maestro who's passes have had zero impact on the game, because in reality they are all obvious passes that the defense sees coming and can easily defend.

Stones is more of a passing "maestro" that this guy, because he as more passes in his locker.

It's the chip/ball over the top or nothing.

Looks class when it comes off though.

any sunday league can pull off any skill at any given moment. It’s also about concistency

 

[JamDav1982]

By far best passer of ball in opening up game.

By far best passer in helping dominate ball.

Seven tackles when no other Barca players made more than one.

Head and shoulders best player again.

 

[Fati_Future_BallonDor]

Whoscored gave him the best rating of all players on the pitch!

 

[JamDav1982]

More passes than Gundo , Roberto and Fermin combined.
Most succesfull long passes.
Most through balls.
Most tackles in team with 7 when next best had 1.
Second most dribbles.

Absolute monster game.

Tackling like Gattuso and passing like Pirlo.

Passing was superb. Tackling, runs very good as well.

Can’t defend space though. Old Busquets had more of a presence. Just get a DM in summer for the love of it. He has everything to be the best CM on the planet it he isn’t up there already.

 

[fergus90]

Realistically I wonder how long he will be willing to play for Barca teams that aren't regularly threatening big titles.

 

[serghei]

Don't worry, he is our Verratti.

 

[te amo barca]

The only player with world-class talent in this squad. Pedri can be too but he's been injured too much.

He isnt playing the position Busquets played last season.. tonight he played the position he played last season more.

A 'proper' DM is clearly needed though but the whole midfield shape and defence needs sorted.

He reads game well in space but just not always being asked to be in DM area and it isn his natural position either.

 

[JamDav1982]

Xavi: "In the first half we didn't manage to make deep passes. They had a very high defensive line and we had to make those passes, but only Frenkie did it, leaving Sergi Roberto alone and we We failed."

Aye but Xavi... 'anyone can do it' and 'Frenkie did nothing in first half'.

 

[Horatio]

Had a 100% duels won 13/13 or something statistic which hasnt been achieved by barca player since 2005 or something. Papers were raving on about it.
