Frenkie de Jong

[HanDW]

YET another stinker in a big game, passenger for most of the game, HOW LONG ARE WE GONNA WAIT BEFORE GETTING RID OF HIM ???. Just because he can run more than the other guys doesnt mean he had a good match.

Dude is the highest earner on the squad and cant be arsed to justify his salary, send him packing to United ASAP before is too late.

 

[Barcaman]

Only one of 3 mf that can remain on full 90 min. Pedri gassed after 50 min and then gundogan next to go. Wish we had 1 proper sub for mf for proper rotation.

Well, that is true. At least he is fit.

 

[JamDav1982]

He has been Barcas best player this season and one of few who although made errors got better as game went on and fought for it and was influencing game with ball.

Looked about only one that could run and win the ball back for spells there compared to most of others.

He isnt highest earner in squad.

Gundo and Lewa both on more.

 

[Horatio]

Well, that is true. At least he is fit.

Our mf collapses because it lacks fitness actually. Then in turn attack suffers. Look how we were getting ball forward in first half after we were down 1-0. Once pedri starts getting tired eveything starts to fall apart. Needs to b subbed earlier. But quality in subs also missing.

 

[jamrock]

Rolls Royce player.

Keep telling y'all sell him.

Rodri is the standards for World class CM/DM, even a barella.

All about the same age, is he anywhere close to rodri? Nope.

Even in a dysfunctional team a truly great player (best CM in the world 😂😂) shows there class.

2nd game in a row he's getting shown up defensively.

 

[JamDav1982]

Nah he wasnt 'shown up' and even with that poor tracking of run was much better defensively than Pedri or Gundo.

Pedri in particular was a disaster.

Top class player and Barcas best this season.

No top player does it every game... even Rodri had some stinkers defensively in recent weeks.

All these Real players get held up as top class for example when conceding 2 to Almeria and what was it 7 in 2 games v Atletico?

 

[HanDW]

We deserve to be in this situation man, no wonder even mid table teams are comfortable playing vs us nowadays when the standards for our starters are "at least he doesnt gas out like the other midfielders" and "well he can win a few balls back".

WE ARE FUC..ING FC BARCELONA NOT OSASUNA FFS.

Nah he has been class this season and much better standards than just that.

 

[Kul_z]

Lmao. This guy only class player we have and dumbfucks want him to perforn like he plays under guardiola. He plays for xavi ffs.

 

[Porque]

We got a ton of problems in midfield but Frenkie isn't one of them.

 

[jamrock]

Nor is he a solution he's just MID AF.

That's is biggest problem, not that he's terrible or a bad player not close to being bad.

But he's also not close to being great.

He puts the MID, in midfielder.

 

[JamDav1982]

Nah he is top class and been Barcas best player by a good bit this season with Gundo.

Barca a a unit are a shambles of shape and likes of Araujo are fucking miles worse and nowhere near one of top CBs in world this season for example.

But most would agree he is still one of the best.. at least defenisvely.

Pedri another.. fucking miles off FDJ level this season.. what does that make him?

Let alone shite like Kounde who some folk claim is top class.

Xavi fan boys who claim FDJ is not good enough.. oh the irony.

 

[Temptation]

Very good player but was poor today.


Not his fault. His manager is hopeless and clueles.

 

[jamrock]

Except De Jong as been MID for years with a a few moments of excellence.

It's the same thing every year, a couple of excellent games that his fan club loves to point.

Napoli
Madrid
Etc

But they conveniently forget Barcelona routinely plays 50 games per season and he's average is most of them.

He's like zidane for madrid, great every now and then, fans make highlights, but if you look at the entire body of work, isn't lacking.

Every good player I can get behind.
