He still finds himself most in front of the defence from our midfielders. And yeah, he's not especially great at it. That being said, it's pretty irrelevant as soon as we sort our DM as we should anyway.
Obviously.. all mids will find themselves there but he is not being asked to position himself as then main DM as Busquets would.
Yesterday he made 7 tackles and he reads game well to make them but he isnt doing it from a position of a central DM trying to shield a couple CBs.
Yesterday was more like last season and him being on he left of a two and trying to organise that side for Balde, being there to take ball from defence and to be main man on the ball.
FDJ put on a better defensive game yesterday than others who get massvely over praised for it in same position.
For 'not doing it well'... he would be a better sole DM than anyone in the squad by far and reads game defenisvely better than any of them... but not his best position.
Seen headless chickens in same position making 3/4 tackles and leaving space all the time and showing little on ball as 'immense'... FDJ puts on a game levels above that in every aspect and some try to find faults.
